I'm pretty sure the faculty club and all the free drinks also stood out

How exciting! Thank you for sharing. Hoping to get off this WL even more. Did they talk about what the week looks like? Mon-Fri 8-10am or?
Hey for the record a huge percentage of our class came off the WL last year so keep your head high!
During EPOM (fall semester first year) our week is 8-1 most days. This is about 3-4 hours of lecture and 1-2 hours of small group, pathology break out, lectures on physicianship, patient presentation, etc. Each hour is divided into 50 minutes of lecture and 10 minutes break - only small group and patient presentations are required and classes are recorded and available to watch the same afternoon. Twice a week in the afternoons you have anatomy from 2-5.
In HID (January - December first and second year) it's more or less the same w/o anatomy.
During both EPOM and HID our afternoons can be scattered with standardized patient practices, preceptorships (once a week working in a physician office during the afternoon), and physical exam skill practice e.g. lots of ultrasound, heart exams, etc. But most often they are free afternoons.

Hey current students, how are the exams structured in the preclinical years? Do you have an exam/quiz every week and where exactly do you take it? Also, what do you typical weeks look like? Do you have mandatory classes every day (like is it possible to not have anything mandatory on Monday or Friday?)
Edit: Senor Cientifico's answer above may answer most of your questions:
2015-2016 Weill Cornell Medical College Application Thread
I saw that thanks. What about exams and quizzes?
If I am remembering correctly, during the first semester there's an exam every Monday but that is about the extent of what I know. I'd also love to hear a current student chime in on this.
@Señor Científico
What's the process for withdrawing from the waitlist? The online portal only states 'Your response to our offer has been received. Thank you." with no link to withdraw.
@Señor Científico has done a great job answering questions
Glad to hear that the lot of you enjoyed second look ! As for waitlisters, no fear ... I, alongside many people I spoke with, was taken off the waitlist, so it's not a death sentence
Definitely let them know you're super interested (and, of course, why Cornell specifically) ... and soon ! If movement is as same as last year, there should be movement this coming week
Good luck to all
Was it via phone or email?1 year anniversary since I got my invite off the waitlist!!
Was it via phone or email?
Any emails sent out today??
I wonder how long they will wait to start pulling from the list. Seems they'd need to give at least a couple days to get replies from everybody on the waitlist. Any thoughts?Waitlist interest confirmation email just sent out. Guess they'll start pulling people soon.
Probably later this week. If at this point you don't tell them right away that you're still interested, I don't think they'll have much sympathy.I wonder how long they will wait to start pulling from the list.

What the whatA previous student told me she responded to the email and 3 hours later she received an acceptance... I'm sure they have a list already.
+1Waitlist interest confirmation email just sent out. Guess they'll start pulling people soon.
I said I want to stay on the alternate list and they responded saying "thanks for the prompt response well let you know if your status changes." Based on what Porcelona said it sounds like that's a no for now. :/

I got this: We will let you know right away if anything changes with the status of your application. Feel free to keep in touch with us through periodic updates.
Translation: "We got your e-mail, please don't call to check."
It has no meaning as to their opinion of anyone.
Got the email/ call that I cleared the waitlist this morning good luck to everyone else!!
What time did you both get emailed/called?
