Anyone know if they've got a student host program?
Hello, current student here, they don't advertise it but I've heard if you ask they will try to set you up with someone. I didn't use it, I stayed at a hotel about 20 blocks from there because it was the cheapest I could find somewhat nearby. I hope it works out!Anyone know if they've got a student host program?
U serious? It's a top private school in ManhattanCurrently trying to choose schools: Why did you choose Weill on your school list?

Anyone else experiencing difficulty getting into the secondary website?
Hi all, just wanted to offer some insight into the school that I have been offering to people who have messaged me.
What Weill has to offer: Great research opportunities (dedicated research time, so many labs/researchers), great facilities (Sloan Kettering, HSS, Rockefeller, NYP, etc.), nice integrated curriculum that emphasizes physicianship and learning clinical skills early, top academic hospital (nationally ranked) with numerous affiliates across NYC and the country, amazing location (not far from downtown or Central Park if you want to go, but the Upper East Side has enough food/activities to keep you occupied).
Some other great perks: free iPads, great study spaces (library, PBL rooms, etc.), cheap+close dorms (extremely cheap for location and right across the street from the school), endless recreational and service organizations (soccer, dodgeball, free clinic, community screening clinics, etc.).
One thing I've been very impressed by is the faculty--the faculty really does seem to care about us and our well-being. They constantly make it clear what resources we have available to us if we face struggles, don't understand something, etc. They have been extremely receptive to shadowing or research opportunities in my experience. Our lecturers so far have been so approachable, personable, intelligent, etc.
In addition, all of my classmates are very chill and collaborative. The curriculum makes for a collaborative environment (true P/F in pre-clinical years, PBL's, etc).
Good luck!
Is Cornell receptive to in area emails?
Thanks! Also, 18 II?! That's incredible... congrats!
When you say "yes", did you get an interview invite soon after, or did they just add your request to your file?
Well I didn't do an ITA email because I live in NY but per their website they say they are receptive and they list an email address where you can send the ITA email to. Also pretty sure other people in this thread have sent them an ITA and received an interview soon after.

Did you get a complete email? In the complete email it says:Where on their website are you finding this information?
Did you get a complete email? In the complete email it says:
"If you have been invited to interview at a medical school in New York City or its vicinity, you are welcome to send us an e-mail message letting us know the exact dates you will be in the area."
I emailed them about two weeks ago; they said they added the info to my file but I haven't heard back. I think it's a crapshoot but it doesn't hurt, I guess.
Found it on their portal. I'm assuming it is just the admissions email address that we send the ITA notice to?Did you get a complete email? In the complete email it says:

Yep, I just sent it to the wcmc-admissions one. Good luck!Found it on their portal. I'm assuming it is just the admissions email address that we send the ITA notice to?
Let's hope, my dude. It's been a roller coaster since I also got my first two rejections yesterday and today. And now a second Thursday meeting at work; what else will go wrong today????Well with Harvard and Columbia in your back pocket its only a matter of time
It's really poor form to try and name drop other interviews in an in-area email imoWell with Harvard and Columbia in your back pocket its only a matter of time
He was just being kind about the other good fortunes I've had. I did not name drop, and never would, in my ITA emails.It's really poor form to try and name drop other interviews in an in-area email imo

I also received a Pittsburgh rejection today. Seemed odd to me as I thought I was a great fit EC and stat wise. I see your profile seems to fit their class demographics too. Oh well, solidarity can be found among those in the reject pile!

Thanks! Although I'm starting to second guess sending an ITA email. I'm relatively close to the NYC area, althoughYep, I just sent it to the wcmc-admissions one. Good luck!

Just out of curiosity, what do you write down at a medical school interview day! I've seen multiple people so this and I'm curious.For people who have interviewed, do we need to bring a notebook or do they give us a folder where we can take notes?

Gotcha, that's good info the remember. I thought everyone was writing down Step scores or something so I'm relieved to hear that's not the case haha.Nothing major. At the first school I visited, we had presentations before our interviews so I wrote down any additional questions I thought up during the presentations to ask during my interviews. They also told us about FAFSA deadlines and when we could expect to hear back so wrote that down as well.
I should have trusted you! haha I'm still hoping that Sinai will get back to me but thank goodness I didn't book my NY flights alreadyTold you
8/14!Congrats everyone! Do you mind sharing your complete dates?
Tuesdays and Thursdays. I interviewed here on Tuesday. It was super chill and everyone was amazingly nice. Good luck!!!!!What days of the week do Cornell offer interviews?
For current students: If my interview supposedly ends at 3pm, would I have enough time to catch a 7:55pm flight from LGA back home?
Just keep it short and polite. Don't bother telling them that you want to go there.. they know that already.What do you exactly say in the "in the area" emails? Do I just let them know what dates I will be in New York and that I'd appreciate if they accommodate me? Or do I also have to state my desire to attend school there?
Like in a secondary?Is it okay to refer to this school as "Cornell"
Yeah, I was wondering what the proper name is of the school. And didn't want to type out the whole nameLike in a secondary?
