I still haven't received any word back from the school regarding my interview dates (not even a confirmation acknowledging my email) 🙁

I've followed up via phone a few times, but each time I'm told that the delay is simply because admissions is very busy, which I completely understand! However, some of the interview dates that I was available for have either passed or are approaching very soon, so I am a little worried. I was wondering, is anyone else on the same boat as me?

I heard offhand from admissions that their email systems were acting up this past week, try following up sometime next week if you still haven't heard back. Don't worry though, you definitely won't lose your interview spot!

Does anyone know if the school is receptive to pre-interview updates?

Yes- if you check your complete email, you’ll find the email where you can send updates to.

Any kind hearts from the first two MSTP interviews care to share some words about the interview experience?

For anyone who has interviewed here, how long is the tour and is there a lot of walking on it? Thanks!

also generally, what did you guys think of the interview? straightforward? or challenging/stressful

For those that have interviewed, was there a place to store luggage?

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but I had about 4 people from Cornell at my interview.

Yeah, almost every class at WCM has ~10% Cornellians

Does anyone know where I can find out more about WCMC's Area of Concentration program? My online sleuthing hasn't yielded too much information

in the summer there was a site with a pdf explaining the details, but now it’s gone, and there’s just that page with the video. Maybe someone downloaded the pdf and can share?

I submitted my secondary late July and was just marked complete now. Would this negatively impact my application? I guess I should have taken the initiative to reach out to them earlier 🙁

What do you mean?
I submitted my secondary in late August and received my complete email before the end of the month.

Also, are they up to August in review yet?

They sent me an email saying my secondary wasn't complete yet, but when I checked my portal everything seemed to be in order. Just as I was about to call the admissions office, I got the complete email.

 

[ChonkySkyBison]

Can confirm, got the axe a few hours ago. I sent them an update Monday FWIW

Hey, sorry to hear. Do you mind sharing your complete date?

 

[the_expert]

Hey, sorry to hear. Do you mind sharing your complete date?

also did you just email admissions the update?

 

[jfijiefjieji]

I wanted to send a post-interview letter of intent (strong ties to the area) and was wondering if anyone could answer the following questions

1. Are they receptive to LOI's?
2. Who do you send it too and when? (should I wait till like February?)
3. Should I include other acceptances?

 

[babykarat]

July 23. At least for the MSTP, I really don't think they reviewed apps chronologically. Also, from what I've read on sdn it sounds like they've filled all interview slots

filled all spots for MSTP or MD?

 

[Heliobacter]

filled all spots for MSTP or MD?

I think OP was talking about MSTP, but I also really really hope that there are still spots for MD.

 

[readmypostsMD]

So MSAR lists the matriculating MCAT range from 510 to 520. I have a 515 which puts me at the 25% mark. I’ve got a unique app otherwise with a great GPA.

Do I have a chance? Just submitted my secondary

What month are they on for IIs now? January?

No one knows. You could have a 520 and not have a chance at all lol.

but submitting this late May have put you at a disadvantage

Roughly an hour, and there is a lot of walking throughout the day in general!

 

[tedocean]

It was really relaxed and enjoyable for me- the docs just wanted to have a chat and get to know me. From what I gather, others in my cohort had a similar experience!

So I spent an embarrassing amount of time going through their previous years thread and Cornell was one of the schools that sent out interviews LATE into the season. From sdn users there were like bunch throughout Nov/dec/Jan all the way until February.
