thanks, but it looks like i'm already unlucky.
what about the ppl interviewing this week? it would really suck if they're just interviewing for a waitlist. maybe they're doing more than one batch before the waitlist/rejection letters this year. oh well. i still have great options, just not my favorite.
Did I sense a hint of resignation? Don't you want to wait and see if they're staggering the emails?

Yup. Got the acceptance email at 12:17pm today!
EDIT: I interviewed 2/15 and my last name is in the second half of the alphabet. Hope you guys hear good news soon!
It might be the case that they will send out decisions for those who interviewed early in the season, like before January, later. I just called the office and the lady told me they will be making decisions until the end of March...... Sigh
i got the acceptance e-mail this afternoon!
(non-personalized, so a little afraid that it was sent by mistake.)
Did anyone get in today who interviewed before January?
just browsing mdapps - and it seems that still the acceptances are leaning toward URM and MSTP or MD/PhD candidates... not sure if that means anything... i feel like there would be more people accepted out of the stellar SDN applicants if they had sent out all the acceptances today...
I'm not URM, MSTP or MD/PHD. I think Cornell has medical students that don't fall into these categories, right?
Congrats to all the acceptees!Go Big Red! You guys will have to let me know how revisit weekend went since I'll be unable to attend

Just got home, checked this thread, got really depressed.
I called the admissions office and asked if all of the acceptances went out today, and she said no, just some of them went out today and that there were still decisions to be made. The rest will come out by the end of the month, but they don't have an exact date.
I can't wait for the waiting to be over.
I'm starting to wonder if the decisions to be made late in the month are for people interviewing during this month. I'm afraid that those of us who interviewed a while back should either be in today or not at all.![]()

sorry you didn't hear either, ahoyfatty. i'm really rooting for you cause i know how much cornell means to you.
When you fill out a med-apps you fill out your race/ethnicity and then you either check URM or you don't.

People on SDN seem to think this, (and say things like, did you apply as a URM?) but I'm almost positive that's not how it works. I remember that you either check "disadvantaged" or not, but I really don't think there is such a check for URM or not. You just specify your racial and ethnic backgrounds, whatever they may be, and I think the schools decide whether or not you are URM. So even if you don't think you are a URM (if you are South American, for example), some schools may view you as such.
Anyway, this is just my thinking, and what do I know? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I'm not try to take away from anyone's accomplishments here; I'm just trying to clarify since I think I fall under this category (URM gray area) myself.
Cheers and good luck everyone
Ok, I'd rather not hijack this thread to talk about URM/Disadvantaged students issues, but alas it came up here. When filling out AMCAS there is one place to fill out ethnicity/race. Here I checked "other, hispanic-american" for ethnicity and "white" for race (confusing, I know but that's how it must be done, my mom is hispanic and my dad is caucasian). Then two questions later it asks "Are you applying as a disadvantaged student?" and here I replied "No." Now I don't know if URM and disadvantaged are one and the same. IMO they are, but perhaps medical schools don't look at it this way. I can't check now because my AMCAS is already submitted, but I'm pretty sure I remember that in order to be classified as disadvantaged you had to be from specific ethnicities that were listed (hence the under-represented minority).
Did anyone who was accepted start a class thread? I couldn't find one, and I don't want to duplicate.
Doesn't look like it. Why don't you do the honors?
theory:
the ppl accepted in december were cream-of-the-crop/mstp/urm fall interviewees.
the ppl accepted today are cream-of-the-crop/mstp/urm winter interviewees.
now they decide who among the dregs of the entire season gets the remaining acceptances, waitlist spots, and rejections.
