Cornell Undergrad with Business major (Dyson) and CS minor. For future applicants with questions about the interview: - lasted 30 min. over Skype with a professor in the specific field that I mentioned being interested in. - some technical questions but not very difficult if you have a good base + if you're lacking in some area you should just admit you don't know and they'll assign you to an online summer class before starting. Honesty is the best policy ;) - mostly questions about why Cornell Tech and why CS. The program is pretty different from other Masters programs so you should have a good reason why you are attracted to this specific structure and set of classes. - was told that I should receive an offer at the end of the interview and received the official acceptance letter exactly 2 weeks later

To the guy who asked about the decision status in MS degree, I am still waiting for the results, too. However, several of my friends have got the offer about 1 month ago, so I think we are in the waitlist. Probably we should wait for other applicants to decline the offer. By the way, they do not respond to the email typically.
