[notsobabydoc]

any recent II?

Checking MSAR data on Cornell, it looks like they suffered huge losses to NYU over the past two years.

The MSAR doesn’t include data from after NYU went tuition-free...

2018? Not sure then. I thought that was the first year NYU went free?

They announced it in the middle of last cycle. Last cycle’s data isn’t on there yet!

Oh wow, then Weill's number is gonna look ugly in the past cycle. I heard that they had to take 40% of their class from waitlist last cycle.

heard from where?

heard from where?

Ugh. I don't recall... maybe last cycle's thread?

Well with their new debt free medical education I wonder how that’ll affect the admissions!

 

[usegooglechrome]

wait what? I also used AP credit for Gen Chem 1 oh no! I'm confused because their website says it can be fulfilled by "advanced science coursework" so would that mean organic chemistry would count? They gave me an interview, so I wonder if they just overlooked this

I technically didn't fulfill all the prereqs of admission and I'm still here!

(don't report me pls I would like to stay here)

Not sure where you got this but this is not true.

Just check the stats of their accepted vs that of matriculants. A huge discrepancy, basically lost all its top 40% of the accepted class...

I think most schools are like this unless its UCSF/Harvard/Stanford/Hopkins... go look at Michigan's MSAR it's a lot worse than this haha

Just like us, schools overshoot too lol.

The median is one point lower. That's not a huge difference

Caught a fat R for the MD/PhD program, should be considered as an MD applicant now. Anyone know if I still have a chance with the application only now being considered?

[aspiringdoctor87]

is there internal ranking at Cornell?

 

[deleted996731]

When can I assume my ITA failed and they dont love me cause I’m kinda ugly. It’s been about 10 days so far

I sent an ITA in October, dead silence after the receipt email until II mid-late December. Stay optimistic, you worked hard to get here

I hope that means my failed ITA doesn't mean my application was passed up on. 😀

[deleted927529]

Complete yesterday, also sent an ITA right after. The "Your Trip to New York City" email is the only confirmation we receive, right?

yes that is their "form email" for ITA requests because they get so many.

 

[Avada Cadaver]

I wouldn't worry about it. I interviewed like 7 months after my ITA email, 2nd to last week of interviews and got accepted 2 weeks later.🤣🤣

 

[ochem_master2]

Anyone heard back regarding interviews, complete after September 1?

 

[the_expert]

so i have seen the ITA's not working above, but has anybody had any luck with an ITA?

 

[beyondconfusedneedhelplps]

Anyone know if cornell sends rejections throughout the cycle for MD?

Anyone know if cornell sends rejections throughout the cycle for MD?

Thanks! This is a big confidence boost after my recent rejection from UCSF. Dates available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10/8-10/24

II today as well (complete 8/4)!

Just curious, but for anyone who is a current student/has interviewed already, what is the afternoon interview session like? I'm contemplating busing down from Boston morning of and then heading directly there for the noon start as opposed to finding a student host or staying in a hotel the night before. Any insight on this?

 

[Avada Cadaver]

That would probably be fine. You’d go straight into the diversity talk and could relax for a bit, then lunch, tour, and then to your interviews. Although, I did the morning interviews and was pretty much dead by the time the tour started. So depending on how early you’d have to wake up, might be worth it to stay overnight.

Don't you have to check in in the morning?

edit: I think I'm wrong.

I did an afternoon interview and it was great. You get to sleep in a bit if you're local and relax/talk to students before your interviews, which were all pretty low-stress. I'm not on the adcom, but anecdotally from a few applicant lunches I went to this semester and my own experience, the interviewers review your file really thoroughly so the conversation flows pretty naturally since they know a lot about you. Don't stress too hard, just let your personality shine through conversation, they invited you for a reason!

I must’ve missed this last time I checked my email, but I received an II on Tuesday! Complete 8/5, LM ~ 74.
I’m so excited 🙂
How far is the medical college from the undergraduate campus? I’m trying to see if I can stay with one of my friends at Columbia (I’ve never been to NY so pls excuse my inexperience).

Are you talking about Cornell’s undergraduate?

So the medical campus is on the upper east side. Columbia is on the upper west side but a short subway ride away, so your friend should be able to help you without it being too much of an inconvenience. Now the undergrad campus for Cornell is in Ithica which is upstate, while the medical school is in the city

Cornell's undergrad campus is approximately 250 miles from Cornell's med school campus if that's what you're asking

II. Complete 8/5. Would it look bad if I told them I would prefer another date since I’ll already be in the area along with saying that I can do one of their originally offered dates?
