Anyone else still not get the waitlist confirmation email?
Yeah basically. Im semi-committing to my 2nd choice for now lol but for some people who have no As its even worse bc they have to reapply in May for the upcoming cycleSo stress to find out may-July when by that point I’d already have friends, second look day, and apartment plans for my second choice
I kept in touch with my interviewer even though i got waitlisted and i asked him yesterday if there will be any curriculum / grading changes for the next few years. He said he’s not aware of any such changesDoes anyone know if WCM is going to move to P/F for clinical years? Also, how often do students remediate a failing grade/class (and if it's recorded on a student's academic record?)
Seems like they kept AOA and rankings (determined from clerkship years where grading is still Honors/HP/P/F). But in a previous year thread someone mentioned that student council was trying to make the push to rid the AOA... Hoping some current students can give us the update!anyone know if Weill Cornell does AOA or any sort of ranking?
during my interview day the students said something about moving to get rid of AOA but my interviewer said not to put much stock in what the students said lolSeems like they kept AOA and rankings (determined from clerkship years where grading is still Honors/HP/P/F).

sounds bleak tbhJust for reference for those on the WL. There are around 175 students (not including M1s) in the groupme. I am not sure what the matriculation rate is or anything, but felt like some people may want to know.
Yep im not counting on getting pulled off the WL anymore, considering how large the WL pool seems to begin withsounds bleak tbh

I saw on some spreadsheet they accept 300 people total from 800 interviewees. So surely this is just normal? Trying to find a positive note hahasounds bleak tbh
This is true...us students are trying to appeal to get rid of AOA but until that officially happens it's safest to assume that there will be AOA by the time y'all get to M3. Preclinical is a pretty true pass fail (no quartile rankings or anything like that) and AOA is based on clinical gradesduring my interview day the students said something about moving to get rid of AOA but my interviewer said not to put much stock in what the students said lol
+1 to this. Hoping financial aid offers come out soon!One of my interviewers just emailed me congratulations and is planning to call me, I already feel so welcome here :,)
Same! My student interviewer did the sameOne of my interviewers just emailed me congratulations and is planning to call me, I already feel so welcome here :,)
Just stop doing drugs soon, my guy…..You have until like end of May for weed. Figure it out.Does anyone know if Cornell drug tests M1s?
So do you know if they drug test? If so, when?Just stop doing drugs soon, my guy…..You have until like end of May for weed. Figure it out.
They don’t lolSo do you know if they drug test? If so, when?
I would just address to the admissions committeThis might be a stupid question but should LOIs be addressed to the associate dean? I only ask because my waitlist email had his signature.
Just for reference, Cornell does not have the ability to match merit scholarships from other institutions (even if at similar or higher caliber schools). They only offer need-based aid and federal student loan aid to students who are eligible. This probably won't effect many people's decisions, but thought it was worth letting others
What email would you send a LOI to? Just the generic [email protected] email?I would just address to the admissions committe
And upload to portal if option is availableWhat email would you send a LOI to? Just the generic [email protected] email?
This is true (us students are trying to get rid of the AOA). HOWEVER, this has been ongoing for a while, and there is no indication as to whether administration will actually get rid of AOA. For all practical purposes, assume that there will be AOA and clinicals will be graded by the time you get to M3/4during my interview day the students said something about moving to get rid of AOA but my interviewer said not to put much stock in what the students said lol
Based on last year there will be a general email probably late this week/early next week basically saying that if you no longer are interested to drop the WL and if you are still interested no action is required. It seemed movement started happening the same day or soon after that email went outWhen should we be expecting WL movement?
Subject says waitlist timeline but doesnt actually talk about an actual timeline lolOk, on a more serious note… no action WL email just went out!
Classic cornellSubject says waitlist timeline but doesnt actually talk about an actual timeline lol
I withdrew my acceptance here a few days ago, but before the decisions came out in March, I did send them a letter of interest with a few updates (nothing too substantial).Anyone here send any LOInterest with no substantive updates? Got a new related job that I could update on, but otherwise would just serve as an interest letter. Just wondering if y'all thought it would help / hurt at all since their email from way back in the day said "occasional, substantive application updates" are welcomed
Yeah, I sent a LOInterest a few weeks ago without any major updates. Basically I figured it couldn’t hurt… we’ll see lolAnyone here send any LOInterest with no substantive updates?

Just wondering if y'all thought it would help / hurt at all since their email from way back in the day said "occasional, substantive application updates" are welcomed
Nope. It’s been a weird cycle. Northwestern overfilled their class, and Case Western has had trouble with people not following traffic rules. Who knows if any of that is affecting Cornell. Maybe it would be worth giving a call?Anyone heard back?
Ahh congrats!! You’re living the dream 🤩Just got accepted off the WL via email. Sent an update and LOInterest late May
