It says in the financial aid page on or before March 15 as well...
You da real MVP
Just hoping for some communication soon for everyone haha. The admissions officer also said they would be interviewing into (or until) March. Tbh wasn't very clear but I didn't want to push anything (was already terrified she would give me a pre-II R over the phone lol). Given everything in the thread I'd say its still ongoing for a little more time but I'd think they will likely be done in the next few weeks
Does anyone have any knowledge of how COVID impacted the number of interviewees for Cornell? Other schools dramatically increased their interview pool and was curious if Cornell did something similar.
Regardless, hoping “mid-March” brings good news for us all!

Which schools similar in status to Cornell increased dramatically?
pitt reportedly interviewed 200 more applicants this year
Vanderbilt interviewed 758 applicants this year and usually interviews closer to 550 applicants per year.
Oh ok. I have not seen last years' threads, but given that Cornell is continuing to send IIs, maybe they are interviewing more. Good luck to all.
Definitely a possibility! I’m just being neurotic as decision day gets closer haha good luck to everyone!

I’m lucky enough to be accepted to 3 other schools, but Cornell is my top choice!! I have a 504 MCAT though :/ I know it’s kind of embarrassing to even ask, do you think I have a chance at an interview?
Although I can’t speak for the admissions, I think getting accepted to 3 schools is a big accomplishment and it speaks for yourself. MCAT is only one aspect of the application, and i do believe you have other qualities that shine. So don’t lose hope, they might get to you soon.
Hey guys! Cornell is a dream school of mine and wanted to ask if you guys think I have a realistic chance of getting in next cycle? I'm ORM

yes
Your publications seem pretty impressive! It could be good to post this in the "What Are My Chances?" forum as well to get more applicable responses

IIs still happening? I've had radio silence, but had an interview with a comparable school...so hoping there might be a chance
Why
Don't do that, don't give me hope...
Jokes aside, thank you so much for doing what a lot us were too scared to do hahaa
No worries, I know we're ultimately all in this together and hopefully we'll end up somewhere

Does anyone know when we expect to hear back post II? Early next week or late next week?
When I emailed they said decisions will be made by mid March.
We are premeds, let's show some pride and unnecessarily speculate until it happens.
My bet is on Friday 3/12, but let's start the bidding on Friday 3/5
I hate myself for saying this, but I feel like it might come 3/19 because it seems they are still interviewing this week and when someone called earlier in this thread they said some more interviews might go out? 3/19 also lets them stick to their "mid-March" deadline. Hope I'm wrong 🙈
supposedly med schools have to give first round of offers by march 15? at least that’s what someone said on the columbia thread on monday
Well - mid could mean anywhere from 2nd through 30th. So, why could it not be today? 😜
Oh dang! If that is true, that's a really good policy. Hoping for next Friday then 🙂

Does anyone know if Cornell will be interviewing after this week?
I have the same question, but I don't expect there to be anything at this point tbh

Hmm. Ok i might withdraw before they reject me to preserve my ego
Do they release As, WLs, and Rs - all the same date / time?
Last year it looks like they came out on the same day over the course of a couple hours
Is Cornell giving full rides this year?
