Got an II earlier today as well! Really excited, definitely one of my top choices. I was complete 7/18.

Thank you! Enjoy your NYC trip if you aren't already living here. If you want to celebrate/prepare for a good interview and if you like Sushi, check out Yuka Sushi not far from the campus. My favorite thing is the all you can eat sushi for $22.99.
Congrats to everyone with IIs!
II two hours ago. Approximate stats in mdapps with unique (non-medical) research experience. Beyond thrilled. I'm the first person from my UG to get an interview at an Ivy school – let alone Cornell – so I'm shocked.
Uh... this is a must. I am an AYCE sushi fanatic (the one by my house costs $30 -__-). Thank you x10000 for the suggestion. Hope you're feeling better!
You deserve this news! Already better! Levaquin isn't a drug to be joke about. Only one dose I went from almost dying from pain and fever and pneumonia to all fun and lively. Talking about appreciation for the power of modern medicine!

Let's go together to Yuka when you are here and anyone else who are sushi monsters are also invited.
I would like to congratulating you as well, even though your post isn't as flashy. 😛. I hope I get to join you and other IIers soon!
You are welcome to join.You've got NYU. Equally amazing. The quality of life as an NYU med student improved quite a bit since the ground opening of Fairway Market. Fairway markets are like magical place, it has everything you might need in terms of cooking, every little weird foreign ingredients. They also have $7.99 door to door delivery for unlimited amount of purchase. That and the E/W village. Yum.
Who knows, maybe a Cornell II is traveling at speed of 3*10^8 m/s to you as of now.
For some reason, whatever you say, I always imagine a sharp and cute cartoon voice coming out of a flying and cheerful penguin.
Yes and Yes (I need one myself as well).

I think there will be another wave tomorrow at 2:00 pm ET -- what do you all think?
i hope that ticket to sushi comes too.
Congrats to everyone who got IIs today!
Did you check your spam folder by any chance to see if you got an email from them?

Yeah, I checked it and I still didn't see it. I just want to know if those who got IIs have that status or is the school trolling with me.... I don't know how I should feel, haha.
I did NOT get an interview and I do NOT have that status if that helps at all! Good luck -- it sounds promising to me!
You should call... The email might have gotten lost in the interwebs then lol.
I got an II, scheduled an interview, and my status says:
Definitely sounds like a promising status! Hope you got an II!

My status is the same as @hellanutella - I'm not sure if anyone has said this, but the way they do interview scheduling is by giving you a list of about 5 dates, with AM and PM slots available. You're then supposed to rank your preference, and they will assign you a date. That status is definitely intriguing, but if you were offered an interview and have not received this email/chosen a date, my gut would say that you should call the office to figure it out.
They may have forgotten to send an email, but it's weird that yours says your day has been scheduled. Might be a similar issue to when a lot of NYU applicants had "Rejected" on their portals.
Hi everyone! Long-time lurker and just joined the forum 🙂 I got an II here on Wednesday! So thrilled!!! 
Where do most people fly into? JFK or La Guardia? I imagine Newark is farther away so I'm not considering that airport. I have a PM slot so I was hoping to fly in the morning. Any advice would be appreciated. I am having a hard time navigating the Interview Feedback webpage...

I haven't gotten an interview here yet, but having lived in NYC for 5 years, I would highly recommend JFK over La guardia - much more reliable in arriving and departing on time, plus an easier navigation around the airport (at least since they've been remodeling JFK in the past few years... it's still as confusing as airports go). Depending on your arrival time, getting into the city by cab can take from 20 mins to an hour, with an average travel time of half an hour. If you prefer the subway, the E from the airport's airtrain will take you pretty close to Cornell - you can transfer and go another stop, or cab/walk it from there. Hope that helps a bit!

I actually wouldn't discount Newark. NJ Transit trains go straight from Newark Airport to NYC in ~20 minutes.
Thank you for the quick response! That is great advice.
I am sure you will get an interview here soon and at many other places... your application is very strong! I notice that we're interviewing at Pittsburgh on the same day, which is fantastic. Thanks again.
I will definitely consider this option too. Thanks for the suggestion!
It's on my MDapps, but OOS 36, 3.85 sGPA, 3.88 cGPA and an upcoming graduate degree (so lots of research). I got an II on 8/13
Wow! Those links help a ton!! My stats aren't high as you -- 33 + 3.74c/3.9s. Cornell is 1a/1b with Columbia for me. Good luck on the interview!It's on my MDapps, but OOS 36, 3.85 sGPA, 3.88 cGPA and an upcoming graduate degree (so lots of research). I got an II on 8/13
According to my FAA source, Newark is actually a stellar airport with great management, low rate of delay. Especially compared with La Guardia and JFK.

It won't matter if you interview in October, and this happens quite often so most schools are quite accommodating. They should be fine with you asking for another date. Congrats on the II!
Congrats! You must have done some good work to warrant such a good start of the cycle--i remembered you have another good II. Anyway, may I ask when were you marked complete for Cornell?
I love your avatar btw.

II! 34 and 3.90 with lots of research. So excited! Good luck everyone else!
I haven't yet received an II but I too would have this question 🙂 Let me know how it turns out!
It was answered a few posts up 🙂
