What do you consider good reason to? New job? or just publication ?

I think anything that adds to your application would be a good reason to write one. That could be a new job that enhances your scientific skills, a big award, or new publication. The Weill Cornell website has some guidance:

Send updates if something significant changes in your application (e.g. major award or publication). We are open to receiving substantive and occasional updates. Check your emails from us for other update instructions.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with the threads a lot recently. Can any of my scavenger buddies let me know the chances of an II at this point late in the cycle? Based on previous years' data plus any info gathered from their comms. Thanks y'all!*


*Also posted this in a couple of other threads.

Do we think decisions for the MSTP are likely to come out sometime today or tomorrow? That seems to have been what happened in past years.

I got stress tested super hard idk if anyone else also got that - Just held my ground and I think it went okay

One of my interviewers was either stress testing me or just had very idiosyncratic methods, I'm not sure which. It was the weirdest interview experience I've had so far. And my other interviewer was one of the most pleasant, enjoyable interactions I've had so far. Maybe it was a good cop/bad cop routine lol. I came away with a very good impression of the school though. Besides the obvious opportunities, resources, and name recognition, the students were some of the happiest I've met and I like that they have a small class.

I heard from previous years that there's an interviewer who does that. My interviewers here were super pleasant and we just chatted about life and my experiences, but sounds like you did well! Now we all just wait til March I guess lol.

Not sure but I might have to remove D&D lol.

 

[boomchickapow]

are there ongoing interviews going out? should i not lose hope? submitted 8/2 but unsure if i should be processing the R LOL

 

[2023applicantxd]

I may be wrong but Cornell usually sends IIs even in January! I’m in the same boat as you but hoping for the best 🙂

My buddy got an interview invite the last possible date - interviewed Feb 7 and got in Feb 24 and goes there now don’t lose hope

Has anyone received a confirmation after submitting a pre-II update letter to [email protected]? I submitted one in the first week of November and never received a confirmation back. Is this something I should follow up on ?
