electrifice Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I saw a few admits on the results page last night. Just wondering if all decisions are already out... Also, can the admits please post their stats?
psychopath@100 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 I got into Cornell ECE PhD with Jacobs Fellowship. Interested in CSL.
storm Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Saw some rejections today on the results page. But I did not receive any response yet..... What's happening? I got into Cornell ECE PhD with Jacobs Fellowship. Interested in CSL.
electrifice Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Losing hope here. Seen a few rejections on the results page (and admits to masters program)... we should probably brace ourselves for bad news.
anotherflunky Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I got an email inviting me to the visit day on April 1st. Apparently decisions (both admission and financial aid) will be made AFTER that based on our interactions with faculty (they specifically stated that last part). Wtf? It's not required but there's no doubt that you would shoot down your chances of fellowship or RA by not visiting, or perhaps even of getting admitted at all. So what do they about internationals then? (I'm not one, but this makes me wonder).

anotherflunky Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I'm PhD. This is my first notice of any kind from Cornell. For what it's worth, my other results were admission with fellowship at Illinois EE and Northwestern MatSci, admission without funding (yet?) at Stanford EE, waitlist at MIT EE, rejection at Berkeley EE. So I should have a good shot at admission to Cornell. The email and the attachment: Greetings from Cornell University and the Graduate Admissions Committee of the Field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Attached is a letter containing details regarding our Visit Day for prospective students that will be held on Friday April 1, 2011.
