I think it depends on the quality of your interviewer but I wouldn't worry too much about it-- I was worried about my Cornell interview (it was around this time last year) also but it wasn't anything to stress over. I was worried about how to keep the conversation going but it easily lasted an hour. Be relaxed and convey that Cornell is your top choice and just dress neatly but don't overdo it.

good luck

Don't worry, be happy!
My daughter just had her first interview with a Georgetown alum tonight. He was great. He put her at ease and she reported they had a good rapport. Just relax, be yourself, and let your enthusiasm for your interests show through. Good luck! P.S. She dressed extrememly casual, with some quirky touches, but still comes off as conservative because of her attitude.
