Pre-II R via email, complete in Sept. Probably the last school that could've competed with my top choice. I guess that’s my answer :D

Thanks! April 20th would be after the narrowing to 3 deadline. Let’s hope for an earlier date!

You can make an empty account just to join it if you want, FB accounts are pretty easy to make - but if you don't feel like it, most of the action usually goes on via groupme anyway! And if you ever have any burning questions, you can ask me as well :angelic:

Thank you so much. I will make one! Also is there already a GroupMe?
 
Does anyone know if update letters and letters of interest / intent for waitlisted students should just be submitted via the updates tab on the portal vs. emailed to the admissions office email address?

Is there an update tab on the portal? Cornell uses the AAMC portal. I don't remember seeing this tab there.

This might be a stupid question, but when financial aid apps require student tax forms/income, do they take into account that this is income you will no longer receive as a medical student? I can’t imagine them expecting student contribution based on income that has stopped...
 
cardamom_coffee said:
Also they want the format of the title of your pdf to be last name_first name_AAMC ID_date
Not a big deal if you don't (I submitted an update without this format lol) but thought I'd get the info out there...

That’s super helpful - appreciate that a lot. Where did you get this info? Feel dumb for missing it wherever it is haha

When I spoke to them they said they assume a $0 future income for students.
 
I counted around 85 people matching on the list (seems all prelim positions have advanced spot). Seems like there's been a large drop from the previous year where I believe there were around 100 people matching. Any current students have some inside information on what happened? Maybe more people chose not to apply due to uncertainty this year?

Did anyone else see the US news rank list for 2022? A lot of the movement in the rankings really shocked me

When your second choice jumps your first choice 🥲 much to think about

Fam PLEASE don’t take the ranking changes into account when making your decision. There was some discussion about this on the washu thread, but this just really shows how arbitrary and volatile they are and literally not worth putting stock into when choosing a school. Like next year your first choice being ranked higher than your second again is totally w/in the realm of possibility bc that’s how they operate

LOL i was just kidding I know these are super volatile. Mainly just trying to make sure there wasn’t anything that happened BTS that would have contributed since this drop seems pretty dramatic

And for those who actually seem taken aback by this "volatile" change, Cornell historically hangs around 15-20, save for the last two years. So this years USNWR rank is totally normal....and also completely uninformative and un-insightful. Its simultaneously shocking and totally expected that some premeds interested in WashU, UCLA, Penn, Cornell, etc. seem to be flustered by USNWR ranking volatility.
