From previous threads it sounds like 50-60 people get off the waitlist, and considering that Cornell has been rejecting people, the waitlist may not be super huge like it is at other schools

Accepted MD, but withdrawing to take an MSTP acceptance. I hope my spot goes to one of you on the waitlist!
Thanks, Winterchill! You're awesome 🙂 I def will write an LOI. Don't worry, the disappointment didn't kill me. ;-)
Accepted. Congrats everyone.
Killin it dude!
In the event some future applicant digs up this thread, I just want to say that Cornell has an interviewer (initials L.S) who gives very tough interviews. At one point he straight-up called me an idiot in a foreign language (in fact, 4 times) and belittled every activity I listed. But I am nearly certain he is just giving a stress interview to see how you react under pressure, and his reactions in no way reflects your true performance.
I had him too. I think the dean or someone warned me beforehand about him so I wasn't really caught off guard. It definitely was a stress interview, I think he is one of the few interviewers to do this since no one else in my group had anything similar. I actually thought he was pretty funny. We talked for about an hour, but maybe only five minutes about medicine.
(accepted)
Yeah, he seems like a genuinely eccentric guy! But really smart and has eclectic interests. We were eventually talking about Nietzsche and whether his later works were influenced by what was likely the end stage of having syphilis.
haha. this was def my weirdest interview this year

I had the exact same interviewer!!!! Hahaha
I had to defend myself the whole interview and felt like I was going to cry at one point in the interview...
Then, I went into DIVA mode. 😉... Seems to have worked!
Also, @pyrrion89 : I love your brief profile on your MDApps! So true; mad props.
Accepted! I'm overwhelmed and very thankful. For those on the waitlist, hang in there.
Waitlisted as well. Trying not to lose hope as this is definitely my number one!

Good call! Thanks!
I'm right there with you! Good luck!
This is kind of an uninteresting question, but on the Supplemental Application Form for financial aid, what is our SID#? Was that already assigned to us/is it written somewhere?
You mean Cost of Attendance? They don't usually know how much these things are going to go up years in advance but if you want to know how much more each year is compared to each other, the student budget/cost of attendance is on page 10 of the Financial Aid Handbook the Fin Aid office attached in the email.
Lol, I know it didn't but it's killing me. I can name at least 10 people in this forum I hope are at Cornell this summer and you were definitely one of them. 🙂
yea that's what i meant, thanks!
Well, then...bring it, waitlist! 🙂 (Unfortunately, there is no emoticon that says: "I'm ready for business." But if there was, I would put it here ___)

On the waitlist, but I'm just curious what you all think about the new curriculum. Spoke with a current student who said there'll probably be more waitlist movement this year, due to the major overhaul. Are any of you who were accepted slightly concerned or does it have no bearing on your decision?

There is a thread in the allo subforum with quite a few of the 2013 match lists: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/2013-match-lists.991281/
Cornell 2013 match list is here: http://library.med.cornell.edu/PDF/MatchList2013.pdf
And we should be see the 2014 match list in just a few days.
When was there usually waitlist movement in the past?
Has anyone received the official letter package? I haven't so I was wondering. Apparently there is a form there that we have to fill in before the deadline so we can hold a spot, but it says nothing about when the deadline is. Does someone have any information regarding this?

I got it yesterday. It says, "To hold your place in the Class of 2018, you must sign and return this form within three weeks (a copy for your records is enclosed). It is not necessary to send a deposit at this time."
You do have to send a $100 deposit by May 15 however to confirm that you plan to matriculate.
So you have time. Congrats. 🙂

you already posted in the pre-allopathic. Please do not duplicate post
What is Cornell's policy regarding a slight decline in grades after acceptance? Does it say anything in the official letter? #senioritis

Go for it
As an MS4 you've probably gone through/observed some sort of administrative/curriculum change, right? Maybe you can provide insight into my earlier question - how smooth do you think this huge curriculum change will be for the incoming class? I guess part of the answer to that is how involved the professors and students were in the decision-making process.

C/o 2014 match lists and stats up.... http://library.weill.cornell.edu/LibNotes/2014/03/congratulations-to-the-future-residents-4.html
Class did extraordinarily well as a whole.
Good luck to waitlisters and congrats to accepted students!

To current Weill Cornell students, is there any type of interaction between the medical campus and the undergraduate campus in Ithaca? Can you take courses on the Ithaca campus? I know there are dual degree options, but I am asking apart from that. Also, does a Weill Cornell student have access to the facilities and such on the undergraduate campus? Not that I plan to leave Manhattan regularly, but I'm more or less curious.
Just don't get a C or below and I think you're fine.
I have no clue why you'd want to take a cornell course during medical school. I know you can take some graduate biomed classes on campus, though. There is a bus that goes back and forth TID to Ithaca. Some faculty teach and work at both places. Both cornell and Sinai lack the big university resources, but it does give us a more intimate campus feel.
Thanks for your response. I asked because I'm interested in things other than medicine as well. I'm not saying I will take any such course. Moreso wondering if we have the option to take advantage of the offerings (courses, facilities etc.) at Ithaca.
