To the previous commenter on 3/17/2016, I emailed Cornell for an application update and was notified that they have made all PhD offers already at this point. However, they are reviewing the PhD pool to make offers for their MS program instead, with letters going out within a week or so.

To the poster below, I applied for round 3 of connective media on the last date (which was the 15th) and interviewed early last week. Does anyone know how long between interview and decision? Was the admissions office even open last week given that it was spring break?
