Can we try to keep this thread focused on Cornell stuff? My heart is jumping into my throat every time there’s a new post haha

Does anyone know whether they have said the same thing about mid-January decisions in previous years too? Just curious whether they would stick to the same schedule as last year and start calling tomorrow.

I believe previous years they’ve said “the first or second week” of January so not just the middle of the month. Maybe a surge in applications pushed back the date? A surprise tomorrow would be nice though.

Here's to another day of refreshing our emails!

 

[renacuaja]

No need to refresh your email. They call you

Quiet on here though and it’s almost 9:30 so I’m skeptical it’s today either.

 

[Marlee Day]

I wonder what time they started calling last year? I hope it is today!

 

[renacuaja]

Calls started at 9am so if nobody has received a call by now it’s unlikely

 

[eleanor713]

Guess we wait until next week:/

Oh noooo! They never do phone calls on Thursdays or Fridays?

Seems like if they didn't call on the 2nd or 3rd then it's more likely to be later in the month, at least that's what I think 😭😢

 

[SunshineSophie]

So, we don't think tomorrow will be the day for acceptance calls?

 

[catmom_rhea]

So, we don't think tomorrow will be the day for acceptance calls?

doubtful considering that they said mid-january (unlike in previous years)

Who wants to start a bet that mid-Jan means the week of the 8th or the 15th

the 15th week is dead center, but i’m hoping for sooner rather than later bc i just wanna know!

I’m going to bet the 15th, mostly for my sanity on the 8th lol

Does anyone know Cornell's class size/OOS typical acceptance number?

 

[DogtorAsh]

Does anyone know Cornell's class size/OOS typical acceptance number?

On the APVMA chart it looks like it's around 126 and split evenly between OOS and IS with 63 each. Not sure if it fluctuates though, but this is a good starting frame of reference!

Oh interesting thank you! I couldn't find on that chart what the split was between OOS and IS, I only saw the institutional applicant to seat ratio for each school and # of applicants.

I really hope we hear something tomorrow!!

 

[lianguine]

I had a dream about admissions last night lmao

Does anyone know if the CVM is connected to the main Cornell campus or further away? I haven't been able to visit

It's connected to the main campus but it's slightly more on the outskirts. Huge facility, absolutely beautiful.

 

[Marlee Day]

Me too! I don’t know how much I can take 😢 I am so anxious

 

[renacuaja]

im predicting that it's not going to be tomorrow I feel like the 8th isn't solidly mid-jan enough that they would release anything.

 

[hbbqtwists]

I wish they kept it for early January 😭

 

[lianguine]

I can't do this dance with my sympathetic nervous system every day

 

[eleanor713]

Guess today’s not the day!

 

[LuluLove2323]

Anyone heard anything yet?

 

[SunshineSophie]

Anyone heard anything yet?

Just the sound of the snow melting.....

 

[hbbqtwists]

If we don't hear anything tomorrow, then it looks like it'll be next week

 

[Kim_Woodpecker]

What days of the week have they called in the past? Does anybody know?

 

[lianguine]

What days of the week have they called in the past? Does anybody know?

2023 they called Tues/Wed (Mon was a holiday), 2022 and 2021 they called Mon/Tues. But they were all the first week of Jan

 

[LuluLove2323]

I work at the diagnostic center ant Cornell and have heard that they are reviewing applicants still. I have a feeling we will hear something next week

 

[SunshineSophie]

Does anyone know how much the waitlist for oos normally moves?

 

[samsung2]

Gosh I wish we would know soon and they could put me out of my misery. The stress is absolutely killing me.

 

[user07132002]

Does anyone know how much the waitlist for oos normally moves?

Historically it moves pretty quickly right after the April decision deadline

 

[SunshineSophie]

And, do you know if it moves a lot....Do you know how many typically get pulled from the waitlist?

 

[lizardman]

I’m honestly fine with them taking their sweet time. This is my last reach school and I can do without another rejection for a bit 😅

Haha I haven't heard from any school yet...I only applied to three and I have to leave my current job in March so I'm not sure if I have to find another long term job or if I can just waitress for a couple months. It kills me just having to wait and not being able to damage control.

 

[user07132002]

I know Cornell doesn’t tell you your spot on the waitlist so I’m not sure about the rate but it sounds like in the past if you haven’t gotten off by end of May/ early June your chances of getting off for that cycle are slim

 

[FutureDrMP]

I keep getting the post-VMCAS survey emails and my heart rate jumps every single time🙃

[renacuaja]

Crickets again 🤡

 

[undercover_magizoologist]

How many colleges did everyone apply to and how many denials so far?

I applied to 7 schools this cycle. So far I've gotten 4 denials and 1 interview, just waiting to hear from Cornell and Iowa. Got accepted to the school I interviewed with.

 

[re0289]

Good afternoon! This forum has been super helpful so far- thanks to everyone who has shared experiences & info.
Do any of you know accepted students who have had mid-range GPA's? (3.3-3.5)
Cornell is the last school I have left to hear from and I am kind of already writing it off based on my going trends this cycle.
OOS applicant.

Yeah, I am a 3.4er who had to work to pay for school and I am in a similar boat. It seems like a lot of us get looked over because of the "lower" GPA 🥺.

 

[user07132002]

I applied last cycle with a 3.7 GPA (undergrad from Cornell...) and got rejected :/ but I've heard of applicants getting in with 3.4/ 3.5 before so its definately possible!

 

[JC177007]

when do you think we will hear back? Also curious question why did you apply to cornell?

 

[2002sydney]

I applied to Cornell because I’m really interested in exotics and avian medicine (just like everyone else I guess). There was also a professor from my undergrad that did some research on avian species at Cornell and she’s awesome!
