I also got accepted this morning via email. The financial aid package was sent a few hours later - they work quickly!

Congrats! 😀 Hope you'll be joining us in August
Just withdrew my waitlist offer. Best of luck to those still waiting!
Great program, but the financial aid was not good at all (comparatively, of course). Also, for applicants not on your parents' or spouse's health insurance, keep in mind that health insurance is not included in the financial aid letter! I called and asked about this, and they do not include it for a legitimate reason, but to those whose decision is partly based on financial aid, just keep it in mind. 🙂

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed by the financial aid award letter (especially after how much I got every year in grants from the undergrad college up in Ithaca)
I guess the med school does things differently, though :-/

when did you guys get your FA after waitlist? I got off the waitlist this morning (YAY and this is kind of crazy) but so far no FA package and I just called financial aid office and they said it takes 7-10 days to process?
Congrats! I called Kori pretty aggressively and stressed that financial aid was *the* deciding factor for me and I had my offer in 3 days. Hope that helps!

Oh wow ok thanks this is super helpful. I know when they said 7-10 days I was like, wait seriously? And she said to call back in a few days. It also is the deciding factor for me too! I had my heart set on feinberg and basically have everything in place for the move too...

Well, the point is that if it's in 7-10 days, and you have two weeks (as far as I know, that's how long I was given) ... that's enough time, no?
I think it's more like five days, anyway, at this point.
Does anyone know if cornell have true P/F or internal ranking for preclinical years? I've heard people say that schools with AOA tend to have internal ranking, but I can't find what goes into deciding who is chosen for AOA.

What portal? And what for?
The accepted students page (the orientation page with all the documents and info) is working fine (for me).

It stopped working for me today when I setup my WCMC ID. I suppose ITS will have to transfer the old account to the new one.
Edit: It works now with the new credentials.

Glad to see you're still on board 🙂 I was looking through the Class of 2019 Facebook page and it's like all the other Hispanics have gone off to other med schools 🙁

Yeah, still on board. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Are you going to cAMP? Although I am enjoying my free time I can't wait to start at WCMC!
