Cornell University Graduate School Admission Results

I was rejected after the interview. Very disappointed. I went through so many interviews (one panel and five individual interviews), and all of my interviews went super well. I have no clue why they made this decision. Also, they asked us to arrange the time with the professors, which took me a lot of time to do the email communication. All the interviewees would have different interviewers. I totally don't know how they make a FAIR decision under this circumstance. They recruited A LOT OF people for the interview process. Anyway, it was a very disappointing experience, and this program gave me a horrible impression. My understanding is that they have pre-selected the persons they want to admit before the interview. Other people are just invited to add to the number. :-)

Email to check website. Very excited to be going here - it was my first choice!

My 1st choice just rejected me and I'm hugely disappointed here *cries* Got publications and stuff so I wonder why this is not working out for me. Can't fix things if I don't know what went wrong! 2r/6p

short email with no specifics. Listed funding info was very poor compared to other comparable places, getting the strong sense that they're struggling even more than most lit departments, but I could be wrong.

Disappointed, but I have offers from better schools anyways lowkey. I regret to inform you that after careful consideration of your application our Graduate Admissions Committee is unable to offer you admission to the Ph.D. program in Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. The selection process has been difficult with many more qualified individuals applying for admission than can be accepted. This refusal is not a reflection on your fine record. We appreciate your interest in our program and wish you every success in your future endeavors. Sincerely yours, Pat Hine

They sent two rejection letters, just to doubly crush my dreams haha! Congratulations to those who made it in!

(ignore the interview status) Has anyone heard back from the ORIE program or gotten interview invites?

GPA is from M.A. program; not the best fit for me, and I'm not letting their decision discourage me. Congrats to all accepted!

Nice try but I already had you marked as a Rejection in my spreadsheet. This DID NOT HURT. (Congrats to those who made it!)

IGNORE INTERVIEW. Anyone else not get rejected in this wave? It really is the hope that kills you.

Bummed. They sent two emails with the same text, eight minutes apart. Really, 0a/2r/3w/7p

Form email from DGS- GPA is MA

sad :(
