Out if state!congratulations @WillowRosenberg !! Just curious, are you in state or out of state?
I'm in the c/o 2018 at Cornell, and I didn't submit any additional letters. I don't know if this was a common thing or not, but that's my experience. Good luck!Hey guys! I'm applying for 2020, but since theres no thread and you all are veterans, I thought I would ask here. I have 6 LORs I plan to ask for my VMCAS (haven't asked any yet, but I plan to have 3 vets, a professor, my manager from one job, who's an LVT, and my supervisor from the research I've done)... but I don't have any "extras" in mind for the Cornell supplement. I was wondering if that looks bad? I was thinking of maybe only asking the LVT to send his to Cornell, and not VMCAS, so I have one that's special for their supplement? But then my VMCAS is missing his letter, which was a place I had close to 1000 hours from... any thoughts regarding this? Does Cornell need their "special" letters? Or are the VMCAS ones sufficient if they cover most of your experience?
I only submitted one extra letter, otherwise it was all VMCAS letters. Actually, the only reason that letter only went to Cornell was because the letter writer felt more comfortable actually writing a letter versus struggling with an online portal, and the Cornell app (at least as of last year) offered both online and paper options. Otherwise all of mine would have been the same.Hey guys! I'm applying for 2020, but since theres no thread and you all are veterans, I thought I would ask here.

I declined my IS seat today, good luck to everyone!
Hi Breezy - I believe it's something like 50 seats for NY State residents - I thought that I had seen a chart with this information somewhere but wasn't able to find anything for you online. On a related note, for 2011-2012 entrance, 261 NYS residents applied and 54 were entrants, compared to 48 entrants out of 656 non-resident applicants (total class size was 102).I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't find it (sorry in advance!!) Does Cornell have a certain amount of slots for NY residents or does instate not matter? I couldn't find the info on their website either. Thanks!
