i got the status page change as well.
i called the admissions office yesterday and spoke to the very nice secretary. she got my acmas number and then took a moment to look something up. at that point, her tone became more somber and she said that decisions are still being made and "something will be mailed out soon." knowing what i know (but they don't think i know) about their admissions process, this naturally sent up a red flag. so i asked if any more acceptances were going out. she told me that decisions were still being made about that.
so thank you cornell, for being kind enough to provide enough information for me that i can *infer* the rejection decision you probably made on my application many months ago. it's like they've taken a page from book of the airline industry, politely misleading us and telling us to be patient, when they don't realize we have some inkling of the truth from talking amongst each other. as i said before, in this age of advanced communication technology this is a poor way to run an admissions process. i'm all for a non-rolling process that gives late applicants a fair chance, but they really need to release *all* decisions by the *same delivery means* on the *same date* that is *established in advance*. this way no one needs to get misled or lied to when they inevitably call to seek information, and the mental anguish of this process for applicants is minimized.
ok, rant over. i still have great options that i'm convinced will provide better hands-on clinical training than what cornell would provide, so i shouldn't complain too much.
