The Cornell CDS is for real:
CDS_2022-2023_Cornell-University-v5.pdf
They could have selected “Not Considered” but they didn’t. They say it is “Considered.”
For you to be stating otherwise, what information do you have that is not available to the Cornell employees who compile the CDS?
Excerpt from the above: Contacts are informational, not evaluative
AAP (Architecture Art and Planning) still has an interview. Which is why the CDS says it’s “considered”.
It doesn’t make logical sense for these to be evaluative if they can’t offer them to every applicant they’re seriously considering. There are not enough CAAAN people to do that.
Interviews are not used for acceptance. My daughter had an interview on February 27 and got her acceptance two days later on February 29. There’s no way it was used to hero them decide. They had to have already evaluated her application when she had her interview.
It may be used for “demonstrated interest”-like purposes. If you don’t want to go their interview, what are the chances you will go their school, and they may deny you because of yield reasons.
Cornell doesn’t consider applicant interest.
Right, but they’ll still take into account stuff like if you have shown up to interviews to compare you with other applicants that are similar to you, because they care about their yield.
Dude, let it go. You’re just making things up. This does NOT happen.
they sent me an email when it got approved! It was two days after I submitted it
Yes they’ve approved mine 1-2 days later
Hi - Just joined this thread (i applied to ILR)I keep getting summer session pre college class application invite emails. And back in February their fin. office emailed telling me that they saw that I was interested in financial aid and that I only had 2 days left (which I submitted thank god just in time). And CSS sent me an email from Cornell to complete my IDOC as well. Did you all get that too?
hey i was wondering what does ur fin aid portal here say? does it say everything is processing?
yep 
I applied for FA and get this
No current to do item information found.
I applied for FA too and it just shows a To Do list and there’s literally nothing there
Same. Does this mean anything?
Mine shows that
To Do Item Due Date Status Institution for all 5 status lists - say processing
Doesn’t yours say it too?
What do you mean status lists?
For the Financial aid documents that had to be sent through IDOC. When you check on the financial aid status - it says to do list and mine says processing.
