2015-2016 Weill Cornell Medical College Application Thread

Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
That means the secondary and recs are all in. It's ok the committee takes their time and it usually isn't as much of an issue. I'm sure you will be fine. This isn't a process that can be rushed.
Hey guys. I am an upcoming MS1 at WCMC this year. I understand the application process can be incredibly stressful. Thus, if you ever have any questions throughout it, please message me or post it here and I will try to answer as best I can. I will be checking this forum throughout the year and will hopefully be better able at answering questions when we start. Good luck everyone!!

ahhhh just submitted. This is my top choice at the moment so please love me, Cornell.
For MD/PhD it sure sounds like the type of program to love!
Indeed. The MD/PhD app asked us to list faculty members we'd like to work with and I was drooling over the labs at Sloan Kettering.
How many total faculty did you end up listing? I only had like 6
I had 8.
Ehhh I only had 5 :/ Hopefully 5 is sufficient...there were a lot of faculty I was interested in but I wasn't sure how many I should put.
I put only 5 too. I honestly thought that was too many haha
Awkward moment when I only listed 4 faculty members...
Hahah, I think 4 is fine honestly 😳 I mean in the end, they can only pick 1-2 for potential interview right (at least I assume that's why they asked you to put faculty down)?
I was under the same impression that that was the purpose. Also are you Taiwanese?
Thanks a lot! All of the people that I know who applied for the Goldwater, regardless of whether they received it or not, were driven and talented. By virtue of the fact that you applied for the Goldwater and made it through the process, I'm sure that you'll do well in this application cycle. I'm sure I'll see you on the interview trail (perhaps unknowingly though haha).
Nope, Chinese haha. I stalked your MDApps too :O great application~ I'm in awe hahah, great job! I'm also a UC student (or I should say "was" since I just recently graduated).

The Cubone in your picture looks so sad! Not the 'dead mother' Cubone story again! Use a happier picture!
I'm good, thanks... I don't really get "sad" out of it anyway, more so "bashful."

Hey leave the boner alone
The secondary page isn't loading for me - is anyone else having any trouble?
Cute Cubone!
Just logged in. It's working fine. I used: osaf.med.cornell.edu
I got it to work with a VPN! Guess Cornell doesn't like international connections haha. Thanks!

no you are fine. mine appeared like it too, but in the end they were able to send me the confirmation email to the right address.
Same here I think we'll be fine
Can any current students comment on the new curriculum? It sounds very logical and I like the way it's organized compared to some other schools (plus, PBL!). Do people feel like any components are especially great, or are there kinks in some areas that still need to be worked out?
I spelled "Weill" as "Weil" in one place on my secondary (actually wrote it twice in one essay, spelled right the first time and wrong the second). Am I doomed?

Is that a "wtf you idiot how could you spell this wrong"?
Hahahah I'm an idiot. First typo I've made >.< brain is clearly starting to deteriorate

It won't matter.
It was the best Sanford Weill wtf face I could find
It is to imply that no one but Weill would care
I'm still an idiot.
Oooooon to the next one...
Oooooon to the next one...
Based on the threads from the the past couple of years, the first IIs should be going out pretty soon!
Oh yeah I submitted here last week. Would be cool to go here.
Just out of curiosity,
are there ties between the new technology campus in NYC and the Weil Cornell Medical Center? I wonder if there is collaborative research going on, or if students can take courses cross campus.

Not currently, but CornellTech wants to eventually collab w WCMC
Last I've heard, Admissions is planning on August 27th being the first interview date, with interviews being held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So, the first batch of invites should be coming out soon!
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everyone!
Wait, so the first interview date is in two weeks??
Any tri-i applicants here? 😛 Anyone know of when those invites start coming out? I know the first interview date is Oct 31 sooo...I'm guessing they won't be coming out soon?
