Not that it matters now but does anyone know if decisions are based mainly on your interviews or do they re-evaluate your entire application including stats?

Wow! Just got an email that I was accepted!

Wasn't expecting news from Cornell for at least another week!

Post-II rejection as well.
So disappointed
 
No email for me either :( Really loved Cornell, so this is a bit painful

Still have nothing on my end... not sure what that means.

EDIT: Nevermind, waitlisted.
 
Waitlisted!

Regarding possible acceptance off of the WL being in May to August, and with the April 30 "one-school" deadline before that... would this mean I would have to commit myself entirely to the waitlist if I want the chance at Cornell and forfeit my spot at a different school? (Newbie question sorry :ninja: )

No, you can hang on to one acceptance but multiple waitlist spots. If you get pulled off of a waitlist after April 30, you have a certain amount of days to pick which acceptance to keep.

Accepted!

Will almost certainly be giving my acceptance to someone on the WL though! Good luck!

Filling out the waitlist form and the last question says "is there anything else we should know". Would this be the appropriate time to discuss your intent even though I plan to send that in a full update at a latter date, or would it be best just to leave this blank?
 
Accepted!!!! Does anyone remember if housing is guaranteed for all medical students for all 4 years? I'm almost certain it is, but would like to double check. Thanks!

so there's nothing we have to do if we're accepted right? just wait for the hard copy letter and send a form in?

No (DONT WITHDRAW YOUR ACCEPTANCE lol). After April 30 you may only hold one acceptance but can be on as many waitlist as you want. Were they to accept you after April 30th, you will just need to withdraw from your other acceptance.
 
Accepted! Such sweet relief after a slew of waitlists.

From what I have read, on April 30th you have to give up multiple ACCEPTANCES (and can only hold acceptance to one school) but you can stay on as many WAITLISTS as you would like, until classes start in the fall.

Hope this helps!
 
Accepted today via email!!
