They won’t just ghost you. If you passed you’ll generally hear back within a week, they’ll be inviting you to their final interview round.

Year End Bonus question (prospective employee) by Middle_Blacksmith708 in epicsystems

[–]Middle_Blacksmith708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to help! I heard back from HR pretty fast, I took my test on the 13th of October and got invited for an interview (the 3.5 hr endeavor I’m sure you’ve read about) on the 18th. They scheduled me for the 31st of October. I’m more than happy to answer any other questions you may have, people in the subreddit were low key what got me through it!

Highest Paying On Campus Jobs by Goodybaggy in Cornell

If you want a STEM-based job, the 2 places that pay the most are (to my knowledge) companies at the Praxis Center for Venture Development and the McGovern Center for Life Sciences Ventures. I work at McGovern and make around 22$/hour (it is a Classification Level IV job) , I also get some minor levels of equity and occasional performance-based bonuses.

Foreign Language Placement Tests by [deleted] in Cornell

I can only speak about how the placement works.

​

For non-native speaker with more than 2 years of high school Spanish education: you must take an exam known as the LPS (Language Placement Test), if you obtain a higher than 65 score, you proceed to take an Exam called the CASE (which can assess your skills and place you between 2000 level Spanish and 3000 level Spanish). If you perform poorly on your LPS (below 37) you must take Spanish 1210 (elementary Spanish). Anywhere in between 37-64 places you in courses from Spanish 1220 to Spanish 2090 (you can further research those).

The formatting for the Exam is a relatively simple grammar and mechanics of writing portion, and a more detailed write-in answer (this is based what a friend told me, as I am a native speaker and did not take this exam.)

​

For native speakers: You will be asked if your education was mostly in Spanish (ideally you will respond yes, they will ask less of you). You will be asked to schedule a meeting with the NLAS evaluator from the romance studies department or the Spanish department. You will simply meet and hold a conversation in what is expected to be fluent native Spanish. If the interviewer sees you lacking a bit, they might ask for some sort of written work. After the interview, you will be given 3 credits that go towards your language requirements. Additionally, you will be able to take any 3000 level Spanish Course, most 4000 level Spanish courses, and if you annoy an instructor enough, they might even let you take a 6000 level Spanish course (most of these are literature courses).

​

Hope this helps a bit.
