Withdrew from the WL! Good luck everyone!
the irrational thinking is starting to feel slightly "rational" given that this is a fairly big break with tradition with how they communicate with the waitlist at this time of year. what it means...who knows, but it definitely is starting to feel off compared to other years. still early, I know I know, but just surprised we haven't heard a peep from them yetYou are not alone. No one has reported receiving the checkin-in email yet.
Perhaps an accepted person from this group would be kind enough to email admissions and ask about when WL people may hear.the irrational thinking is starting to feel slightly "rational" given that this is a fairly big break with tradition with how they communicate with the waitlist at this time of year. what it means...who knows, but it definitely is starting to feel off compared to other years. still early, I know I know, but just surprised we haven't heard a peep from them yet
U first 🤢sooo does someone want to *67 call them today and ask when they expect to start contacting waitlisted people?
pretty much I think lol...Isn't practically everyone that interviewed on the waitlist? Trying to gauge the likelihood of getting off of it.
A few people reported R's back in March and generally I feel like people who are rejected are probably less likely to post about it. No idea what this means in terms of how big the waitlist actually is, but I don't think practically everyone who was interviewed is waitlisted.Isn't practically everyone that interviewed on the waitlist?

I’ve seen this number before, where are people pulling this from?20-30% of the class comes from the waitlist
Also, do we know an approx # of ppl on the waitlist?I’ve seen this number before, where are people pulling this from?
I just let out the most ugly cackle and "NOOOOO" possible
Our heroSo I caved and called admissions. They said they are a bit backed up this year due to COVID but are anticipating WL movement within the next 1-2 weeks.
Want to just vent -- with a CTE deadline for another program at the beginning of next week, it seems like my Weill dreams will just be dreams..So I caved and called admissions. They said they are a bit backed up this year due to COVID but are anticipating WL movement within the next 1-2 weeks.

heard from a couple current med students that ~1/3 of their class came off the WLI’ve seen this number before, where are people pulling this from?
Well, you could say they’re going to take a Weill to do waitlist acceptances.So I caved and called admissions. They said they are a bit backed up this year due to COVID but are anticipating WL movement within the next 1-2 weeks.
It's cuz Cornell colloquially has that "worst of the best" reputation within the ivy league. Not saying its true but that's the stereotype. With the exception of Dartmouth which unfortunately just has a terrible location for a medical school.They’re supposed to have a relatively low yield rate compared to other top schools
I think it also might have to do with the fact that Cornell doesn’t do merit aid (correct me if I’m wrong) and only need-based.It's cuz Cornell colloquially has that "worst of the best" reputation within the ivy league.

I was wondering the same, whether this means that they have no openings as of now?Since this is different than previous years, did everyone get this email?
Yeah I think everyone got this email
Maybe the slightly too optimistic side of me, but I feel like if there weren’t spots, they would have had less reason to send an update email. Time will tell, hopefully much sooner than later 😂I was wondering the same, whether this means that they have no openings as of now?
I thought the same! I think they do have spots and they’re trying to get an idea of who is still interested in remaining on WL since it has been a week since CTE and so people’s situations may have changed. They’re probably trying to avoid wasting time!Maybe the slightly too optimistic side of me, but I feel like if there weren’t spots, they would have had less reason to send an update email.

Fingers crossed!!I thought the same! I think they do have spots and they’re trying to get an idea of who is still interested in remaining on WL since it has been a week since CTE and so people’s situations may have changed. They’re probably trying to avoid wasting time!
Interestingly, unlike previous years, they did not ask us to confirm continued interest. They just said withdraw if you are no longer interested.I thought the same!

Noticed that as well. I was so ready to immediately respond with “TAKE MEEEE” but after a second, re-read it as a “don’t call us, we’ll call you”Interestingly, unlike previous years, they did not ask us to confirm continued interest. They just said withdraw if you are no longer interested.
They do have a new dean of admissions this year so maybe they’re just doing things a little bit differently 🤞Interestingly, unlike previous years, they did not ask us to confirm continued interest. They just said withdraw if you are no longer interested.
Yes, they certainly have been doing everything differently starting from As and Rs and WLs to now!They do have a new dean of admissions this year so maybe they’re just doing things a little bit differently 🤞
Congratulations!!! Did you get the waitlist timeline update this morning?Accepted off the WL at 1:26 CST today! So excited to be attending my dream school!!..will most likely be re-reading that email for the rest of today just to remind me that it's real lol
Before anyone asks: interviewed in September, sent 2 update letters (one in Jan and one hrs before being placed on the WL) and one letter of intent a few days after being on the WL

No...I submited FAFSA a while back but didn't submit CSS until today. They also asked for a bunch of other stuff that I will send in ASAP but haven't yetCongrats!! Did you happen to get your financial aid package at the same time?
