I didn't have a snowball's change in hell (3.5 GPA, not published, and the strongest LOR never arrived after the writer said they submitted it), but their rejection email was thoughtful.

I did not get an update. An applicant in a previous year did some data analysis on Cornell IS PhD acceptances. On average, the earliest decision notification day was February 15th (when taking into account 2020 data). So I would expect to hear by next Friday at latest, but who knows? https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/100881-cornell-information-science-phd-admissions-data/

Any updates on your status as of now? Soon it will be mid-February and I'm honestly dying of anxiety. Has anybody been accepted yet? Any idea on how many offers will be made?

Generic rejection email. Did not submit any GRE scores, had 111 on TOEFL. I double-majored in Architecture and Psychology, no papers but, was working on a research project. I, at least, hoped for an interview, sadly did not get one. This has been my dream program for so long... Congrats to those accepted!

To the poster below asking about Cornell: No, I haven't heard back either. From previous years' posts regarding Cornell's admission results, it seems that we should expect to hear back in two or three days (10 or 11 Feb). Fingers crossed and good luck!
