7/6
II OOS, Complete late July
OOS II! Complete 7/7
They ask us to upload a photo with "a full frontal view of your head and shoulders" on a light background... I have one of me where my shoulders are turned a bit (not quite 3/4 but also not flat) but my face is straight on, do you think that would be ok? Or would it be better to just take a new photo that is "full frontal"

Why are they so specific lol?? I think if you can clearly see your face and shoulders it should be fine. But that’s just my opinion, maybe someone who knows better can respond
81! (Its also in my signature)
Yep! I got the II and attestation form emails at about the same time. After I submitted my photo and form, I then got an email about scheduling an interview (although they said this scheduling email could take up to 3 business days to come through after submitting).
If you didn’t get the attestation form email, maybe check your portal and see if you can submit everything anyway? Or email them 👍🏻

OOS II ! Completed 8/8.
I feel it’s a mistake, considering my cGPA and sGPA are super low.

Interviewing tomorrow as well and I only have the times. No information on the names/positions was provided. Good luck with your interview!
it's the beginning of September. there are many months left of sending out IIs
Probably not yet. Thanksgiving is the big day to start worrying, trust me 🤠
Or all the questioning from your relatives will jus cause you to worry 😢
Ohhh boy trust me I've blocked a few numbers for the rest of the fall. I'll call them back on May 1 when it's all done and settled
OOS II! Complete 7/31
thank you! LM 72
MSTP II! Complete 7/25

Has anyone interviewed yet? If so, how was your experience?

I have. Very pleasant experience tbh. Very informal. My interviewers definitely knew my app and had many thoughtful questions to ask.

I know Cornell does non-rolling admissions, but does interviewing earlier on in the cycle increase the chance of an acceptance?
D

I think the general wisdom is: no, in the sense that you're competing for the same number of spots as someone who interviews in February (unlike rolling admissions, where the number of spots decreases as people are accepted); but maybe, since they liked your file immediately instead of upon multiple reviews. However, someone who submits later and is reviewed/interviewed later for that reason might have the same chance as you. Moral of the story is that trying to read into it too much will drive you insane and has 0 impact on your decision ultimately (they're gonna make the same decision one way or another no matter what) so just try to find a way to distract yourself til decision day lol
edit: also even if you submit earlier and get a later interview, some schools don't go chronologically and/or have different reviewers take different speeds so even submission date relative to II date might not give you much info

Do you know if they are allowed? I know some schools discourage them
D
deleted1167581
They should be. It was never brought up that it’s discouraged (and I tried searching online if they had a policy and didn’t find anything) and my interviewers provided me their emails so I sent thank you letters to them
Edit: Looking at past threads thank you letters are accepted

For those who interviewed, what parts of your application did the interviewers have access to?
I think everything except maybe MCAT? (My interviewer asked what my score was, so I'm assuming he didn't have it), but they did comment on my LORs, my activities, and my personal statement

This makes me think if they are even allowed to ask that question about your MCAT then? If they are blinded to MCATs is probably to avoid bias??
Maybe? He asked it playfully, kind of like he expected my score to be what it was based on the rest of my app, but it would make sense that its MCAT blind to avoid bias
Mine said they were blinded to MCAT and GPA.

For anyone who recently interviewed: have they mentioned where they are in terms of interviews and how many they have left to send out? Also, what's the scheduling for recent II's looking like?
They don't allow you to see the interview schedule, they give you a list of like three upcoming dates via email, and you have to tell them your preference.
IS II, LM 72-73, Completed 7/26.
Congrats! You are on fire, holy crap
