Is someone neurotic (best way possible) enough to find the advertised decision release months in those years? (Did they advertise February as the decision release time for the 2022-23 cycle?)

Don't have the energy to check previous years but last year at least it was advertised as March. Hope they keep up the pattern of sending it a week or two earlier this year as well

Anyone have an idea how many international students Cornell has accepted in the past?

I would check MSAR if you have it —I think this information would be listed there!
MSAR says 27 were interviewed and 2 matriculated.
Welp Texas schools didn’t show me any love this school is officially my last hope

Unfortunately yes. :,( They told me when I reached out for a status update.
Does anyone have any insight/hunch for decision day? People still thinking March 1?

That’s what I’m guessing since last year the accepted students day was about a week earlier than it is this year and they released decisions Feb 24th. This process is so unpredictable though so I could be wrong!
Idk dude last year they said that the second look would be in April this year they have it set to March 22-23 so who knows maybe it will be

yeah based on the last two years i'm starting to refresh tmw evening and will not stop til we hear back
I’m getting off sdn tmr night I have a feeling they’re gonna send out that trainings email and if I don’t get it and i see others get it I’m gonna be sad
Is this like a guaranteed A if you get? Confused on what this email would be about.
Based on last year, yeah... As far as I can tell, everyone who got emails about trainings to complete got As a bit later
I'm assuming it was a glitch that they got the training emails first though. I'd be surprised if it happens again this year...

Did they say whether accepted students will be notified by email or phone?

The portal says all communication from the admissions office will be by email so I think email
Hi! I am building a school list and looking for current M3/M4's that can speak a little bit about Cornell!
Specifically, I have the following questions (please feel free to answer as many as you have time for, I know it is a lot!):
- Does Cornell have a home hospital?
- What is your preclinical grading system?
- How are students ranked?
- How often did you have exams during your preclinical years?
- Are these exams based more on lecture/in-house or NBME material?
- What are the attendance expectations (for lecture, PBL, etc)?
- What happens if you fail an exam (is it marked on your transcript)?
- What is your clinical grading system?
- What % of students earn honors per rotation (if applicable)?
- Who chooses which order your rotations are in (students, lottery, other)?
- If you could describe the environment during your rotations in one word, what would it be?
- How much time do you have for electives?
- Do you have AOA at Cornell?
Thanks so much in advance for answering! I appreciate you making time for this 🙂

Many of these are google-able
yeah you're right, especially the first few. but as I'm trying to do this for every school, and planning to share result in a public format, I figured asking online (as I'm doing here) once per school would be more time efficient. especially since it is only me and one friend working on this spreadsheet. I'll backfill as needed and dig deeper when I get conflicting answers though!
Makes sense. The spreadsheet sounds like a great idea but I think I’m speaking for many if not most people in this thread that we created a spreadsheet for ourselves like the one you’re talking about. You might have an easier time creating it by posting in a main pre med thread to ask if people would be willing to share their notes in order to create a master spreadsheet to share. One thing about pre meds is we all probably neurotically researched lol
Also I remember way in the beginning of the cycle googling grading of medical schools and finding a website that had a very extensive list of grading policies at a ton of schools. I’ll see if I can find and I’ll DM you my stuff
Just adding to the speculation lol: Last year, MSAR had the decision date as March 13th but decisions came out Feb 24th. This year, MSAR says March 1st, so theoretically they should come out earlier this year than last year? Maybe not though, since, following that logic, we would have gotten decisions a week or two ago 😅
I wonder if the training emails were a glitch that forced them to release decisions early 🤔

And on MSAR, def a good tool for building a school list
@purdey - somehow I am not allowed to message to you. Could you please, share this spreadsheet with me as well? Thanks in advance.
Two years ago (from the 21-22 sdn), the MSAR date was 3/11
Ok so here's what I've found for MSAR vs actual decision date vs second look:
2024: March 1st vs _________ vs March 22-23rd
2023: March 13th vs Feb 24th vs March 17-18th
2022: March 11th vs Feb 26th vs April (no specific date found)
2021: March 12th vs March 8th vs April (no specific date found)
Unfortunately, I feel like March 1st is probably the decision date... Last year's early release was probably a glitch and the time between decisions and second look in the previous years was probably due to COVID.

Thank you for your service. Agree I think last year they may have rushed it b/c of the trainings email glitch. They also usually start releasing before 12 PM EST so I think it will be 3/1 too instead of today
12 minutes left bubba dont count it out
Friend who is a student there told me decisions come out next week
I answered what I can below. Our handbook is also available online if you have any really detailed questions.
- Does Cornell have a home hospital? Yes, NYP/WCMC. The med school is attached. (We also rotate through MSK, HSS, and other NYP locations around NYC)
- What is your preclinical grading system? Pass / Fail
- How are students ranked? The school says we aren't, but they do consider grades for AOA.
- How often did you have exams during your preclinical years? Weekly quizzes during 1st semester, every 1-2 weeks for the rest.
- Are these exams based more on lecture/in-house or NBME material? They're all written by faculty, a few quizzes are STEP style.
- What are the attendance expectations (for lecture, PBL, etc)? Lecture isn't required. Small group sessions, anatomy lab, and patient presentations are required. There's a handful required sessions per week, and PBLs usually start at 8 am.
- What happens if you fail an exam (is it marked on your transcript)? Weekly exams are averaged out for each unit, so you can fail an exam and still pass the unit. If you fail a unit, you remediate down the line. (I'm not sure how it's actually notated on the transcript)
- What is your clinical grading system? Honors / High pass / Pass / Fail
- Do you have AOA at Cornell? Yes
Last year they sent out all decisions at once, post-II A/WL/R, and pre-II Rs
I know March 1 is likely our date at this point, but do y’all think there’s a chance decisions could come out some day next week before friday? Seeing as actual decision day has preceded what MSAR listed in past 4 years
Yall gods who got like 100 acceptances this week should withdraw so us mortals have a chance
Esp u @slavic_skunkworks
Yeah Slavic skunkworks you’ve risen to sdn celeb status in such a short amount of time. You’re literally killing the game it’s actually astounding, so congrats!
Maybe if enough people withdraw they might send me an II, so I’m with 2023applicantxd 🙂
