waitlisted after two interview rounds; 1a/2w/1r/2p

I guess IR at this point, the end of a very tough cycle, god bless you all

GPA is grad, no GRE. Invited to virtual visit day. So excited, even if it's a WL!

TTPB: Oh whoops, just noticed you're comparing the ITHACA Meng and not Cornell Tech Meng. Can't help much there, I don't know much about the Ithaca one and didn't apply to it. The comparison below is for Cornell Tech Meng for anyone else interested.

Food and Agriculture track. Never received the interview and I am curious about if there is any admission from this track. Anyway, disappointed.

TTPB: I was accepted to the Connective Media program and I also had a hard time choosing between the two. The biggest difference is the length as you mentioned. The MEng program is 9 months with no option to extend. This means you'll be looking for a full time role as soon as you start with no internship opportunities. The CM program is 2 years and obviously has an internship opportunity which is a HUGE pro as you can imagine. Further, the CM programs lets you take a ton of CS courses and you'll probably end with around 2x times CS credits as an MEng student. Also, the cost can be alleviated somewhat via scholarship. I received a $30,000 scholarship and I know others have received up to $50,0000. So for me, since I think internship is extremely important, the CM program was a no-brainer.

email that my application is under serious consideration and an offer may be extended soon but is not guaranteed. Invited to visit day.

I'm a little confused about enrolling in MEng CS (Ithaca) and MS Connective Media (Cornell Tech), are there any obvious pros/cons? CM is very expensive but is an amazing program. While MEng is also great, its a 9 month course and is really fast paced.

What a kind(?) and strange rejection letter! I would feel bitter if I weren't already accepted into my top-2 preference program. Now I can move on without looking back at Cornell :)

Expected as the interview was not by a POI and though not bad, wasn't great either.

Rejected from PhD as well as Master's, Good Luck to everyone
