In mid January, Cornell offered me an informal “interview” but I receive so many emails that I didn’t see it until mid February. What should I do? Will this hurt me? I’m really stressed right now… Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
Respond tomorrow. Apologize for the delay. You don’t need to explain why you missed it. Good luck!!!
Cornell alumni meetings are non evaluative. It wont impact your application.
FWIW, your alumni should have reached out to you more than just by email so part of that is on the alum too. We’re instructed to email and then follow up with a call.
