rCubed,
Have you called them? I did because I had another interview in the "area" (Yale, but I am not from the east coast), and I was told that they would do whatever they could. One day later, I was offered the interview invite...
So maybe you need to call or something?

well, i called in mid-november and told them i was going to be out of the country from end of dec to beginning of february. i was hoping to get that interview done with before i left. however, i was talking to my pre-med advisor and he seems to think they're going to wait till after I get back, which I would prefer not to do. But, at this point, so close to christmas and stuff, I'm guessing my advisor is right

)

this is going to sound really messed up...but I really don't know what my top choice is. I'm hoping to decide at the second look weekends. Going into the process, it was a SUNY and downstate is still in the running
i really liked Sinai, the location, the students and all that. Columbia, i didn't like, but that's because our tour guide was a real character, he totally turned me off. But talking to other people about the school, it doesn't sound too bad. I love, absolutely LOVE, Cornel's international program. Downstate's low tuition really appeals to me. I like being on Long Island, so Stony Brook seems like a good choice too. I just need to hear back from schools so I can think about making a decision. But i would like to say, hooray for second look weekends
do you want to go to school in NYC? sinai ur first choice?

anyway, about the Cornell invites, do they send them out continuously or every now and then? if its every now and then, when were the last batch sent out?

Hey, can I play too?
I've already been accepted to an in-state (read: cheap) top 30 school, but would still undergo a frontal lobotomy to be in New York for the next four years. I applied to 3 (Sinai, NYU, Columbia), have interviewed at Sinai and NYU, and have one coming up at Columbia in Jan.
As of yesterday, I had NYU as a very slight front-runner over Sinai, but had yet to hear back from either school post-interview. Alas, it looks like many people got in to NYU via email yesterday, and I was left out of the party. Methinks it's waitlist purgatory for me
Hence why MSSM is my top choice NYC school right now. The students were the happiest bunch I've ever seen. It really is Camp Sinai!
Good luck all,
TF

I interviewed in mid-November, and I know that the first possible day to interview was 11/1, so I'm implicitly assuming that the adcom has at least gotten through the November interviews by now for the "first batch." You're right, though, it'd be helpful to know when the accepted applicants had their interviews.
Eh, whatever. If I don't get in, it's their loss anyway. I'm going to enjoy my break regardless.

I also interviewed at NYU in mid-November and didn't get the email. I still haven't gotton an interview request from Columbia. Anyway, I'm going to hear from Sinai next week according to the adcoms. I went to NYU as an undergrad and well...Sinai is my first choice too unless Cornell decides to give me an interview

We should find out when those kids accepted to NYU were interviewed. I didn't think NYU started accepting so soon, but then I wasn't told anything the day I was there. In fact, I don't think I was given so little information for any of my other interviews
anyway, any cornell invites sent out recently? anyone?
Kashue, maybe we'll hear from cornell in the next batch, if in fact they do send out invites in batches

Hi Guys,
I interviewed there during the 1st week of November and got an email on 12/11 (snail mail received 12/13). Don't quote me on this, but I think very few acceptances are sent out in Dec, many on Jan 15, and most of them on Feb15. PM me if you have any questions. Good luck to all!
Kashue,
I think I interviewed at Mt Sinai a week before you, and thought they would take about 6-8 weeks to get back to us. So I was expecting some answer in mid-Jan. Did they specifically say that they'd be getting back to you before the end of the year? Thanks.

Mt. SInai took about 4 weeks to get back to me...but I know most of the time its 6-8. the advice u gave us about NYU...i think almost the same applies to MSSM, so all u can do is keep waiting..which sucks..but u'll hopefully get good news

Thanks rCubed. I believe I'll be hearing from MSSM toward the end of Jan. I actually think my second interview there didn't go that well. Oh well!
One more thing, any idea why the students keep comparing themselves to NYU kids? Other NYC schools were never mentioned, and I thought "NYU" come up very often.
Best of luck!

i don't know y they kept comparing it to nyu....while i was there they seemed to be comparing themselves to most of the city schools..columbia, nyu, downstate, and aecom..i dunno why, maybe they have an inferiority complex or maybe they're just really agressive recruiters. They all seemed really happy to be there
i thought the coolest thing while i was there was that they had a guest lecturer for anatomy and it was a four star general or something. i stopped by at the lecture and he was talking about the effect of certain weapons on the body. and then during the tour when we stopped to look at the anatomy lab the general was there too, guiding them...
anyway, off the subject..but i don't know why they were talking about other schools
Does no one have an answer to my question about cornell invites?

They did seem very happy there. And the dorms are great (really big for NYC standard).
I think Cornell interviews well into Feb or March. Why not call Cathy Cabrera and ask? She's very nice and willing to answer questions.

The students at NYU and MSSM were both real happy, but I sensed more comraderie at MSSM. The NYU kids did endlessly talk about how much they loved to party in Midtown though. Both schools offer killer clinical experience (Sinai vs. Bellvue/Tisch) and place well in residencies. I think MSSM had the best residency placement out of all the NYC schools last year and also had the highest percentage of students match into their top 3 choices... hopefully that's an upward trend!
Speaking of NYC schools, anyone get news post-interview yet? I'm anxiously waiting.
Good luck y'all,

my current ranking of NY schools I want to get into:
1. NYU
1. Columbia
2. Einstein
3. Downstate
3. NYMC
4. Rochester (going on gut feeling that it might simply not be the place for me)
Haven't been offered a Cornell interview and haven't visited MSSM yet.

Hey, I interviewed on Nov 8th also, but I didn't receive an email yet. I was out for another interview and came back with an overloaded email inbox. Do you think I should try to contact them just in case I received anything?

I want to stay at Sinai tho. Pleaaaaaaaaase take me Sinai.
do u work there now?
and about NYU, they take about a month to get back to the applicants? So, if i interviewed first week of december, i should (hopefully) hear back something in mid-january? or do they just do it randomly?
