Get Your Med School Admissions Questions Answered!
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Are you sure? Considering Cornell only yields at around 33%, that would be 70 students or so in each class that comes from the waitlist, which is a little high. USNWR data listed a little over 300 including waitlist acceptances.

I’m also feeling Thurs as decision day. Good luck everyone!

I am only quoting what I was told by a current admissions committee member.

Aw sorry guys for the wait-- Cornell releases decisions later than other schools because we interview until so late into the season! Just as an FYI for all of you, the final committee meeting was yesterday (hence no decisions thus far). However now that it's over, decisions should be coming out soon! (I don't know the timeline either since now it's an administrative thing.)

Also, approximately third of the class comes from the waitlist so don't lose hope if you're waitlisted and send a letter of interest/update letter if you're interested in coming! Good luck everyone!

Thank you. You are the real MVP.
 
Does anyone know how decisions are conferred? I am out of the country for the next week (spring break), and I will NOT be able to get any phone calls, if that's how they're typically done.

Also, just to put some of y’all’s minds at ease (maybe?), I talked to someone who interviewed there in November, and he was rejected last week. So, if we haven’t been rejected yet, maybe it’s safe to assume we have been at least waitlisted?
 
Just waiting for my rejection so I can be at peace.

Aren't all decisions emailed at once? Was he applying to Md/PhD?

Seems suspicious that no Post II people on SDN were rejected then though...

Maybe their interview went so horribly that they had to reject them sooner

I went to an interview and they told me that one year a group of adcoms watched as a pregnant woman fell crossing the street and an applicant checked the time waiting for the woman to get up instead of helping her.

They said it was the first time a rejection beat the applicant home...

Was this applicant distracted? Did he/she not see her? Isn't it human nature to want to help? Like when I hear stories like these, I'm just baffled and unable to comprehend or even imagine what it would feel like to just watch someone fall and not even flinch to help.

He was a regular MD applicant. And I’m honestly not sure why they rejected him early, but I can certainly say that they did. Anyway, maybe I shouldn’t read too much into an early rejection, especially since no one else has reported a post imterview rejection.

Edited: Waitlisted sigh and so it begins again....the elusive NYC acceptance.
