+1 OOS Secondary, I received an email first telling me to expect a link for the secondary app. Actual link came 30 minutes later.

 

[TheDeadrok]

Cornell sent me the exact same email invite to fill out their secondary twice 8 minutes apart??? They must really want me 🤤

Personally, I wouldn't. It sounds like they are only wanting people who are not full-time students to respond to this question.

[breez]

Asked this elsewhere as well, but I have 2 3 credit, non lab advanced biology courses, and 1 4 credit lab intensive (1 hour lecture, 6 hour lab/week) biology course. Can I use this lab course to cover both lab credits otherwise required?

Is everyone answering the COVID prompt? I did "zoom school" but don't have any other special circumstances.

I did not answer it

Thanks, wysdoc

Thanks, wysdoc

I can confirm this is what I got. In addition, they ask to list your letters of rec and your 2 writing courses.

 

[BabySnoopy]

what is everyone doing with the covid essay? the wording says special so idk...

I did not notice that and just wrote a couple sentences about how my freshman year ended early bc of covid and then for the next year or two volunteering and shadowing in my area were limited

 

[MianTiao]

did anyone get a application complete or secondary submitted email?

 

[syrupedbacon]

did anyone get a application complete or secondary submitted email?

nope.

according to the secondary portal:

• Please do not expect an immediate response after you submit the secondary. It will take at least two business days for the Office of Admissions to process your application.

 

[flowfish]

did anyone get a application complete or secondary submitted email?

submitted 7/3 and marked completed 7/5 - got a complete email

 

[camsteph]

Im a little confused about the coursework section... are we supposed to put in multiple science classes for the bio section? also, are we required to put in introductory bio classes or can we put in other course like A&P or molec bio?

 

[SchlompGlomp]

"In addition to thorough preparation in the basic sciences, applicants should have a broad liberal arts education, with demonstrated accomplishment in the humanities and social sciences."

I certainly don't have this, as a Neuroscience and Applied Math major. I have decent stats (LM 75) and all other clinical/volunteering etc. elements, but is it still worth applying here with only bare minimum humanities courses?

anyone leave question 3 blank? I personally didn't think my circumstances were "special" enough.

 

[Decaying_Isotope]

anyone leave question 3 blank? I personally didn't think my circumstances were "special" enough.

Also left it blank, I think as long as you didn't lose some crazy research opportunity or had the death of a family member which tanked your grades then its better to not answer. Writing something minor would probably not be a good look imo.

I added an LOR to Cornell after submitting the secondary - is it worth emailing them about it? I'm asking because of there was a secondary question asking us to list all recommenders. Thanks!

 

[sciolywin]

Any MSTP applicant hear back about an interview?

 

[southerncar]

Anyone received II so far? I am going to submit the secondary today or tomorrow

 

[ankaraMessi]

Any MSTP applicant hear back about an interview?

Nothing so far. Submitted mid July

 

[southerncar]

This is probably due to the fact it is non rolling
