What are the interviews like? Nervous for mine tomorrow!

lol see you in a bit

good luck!

good luck!

how'd it go?

super conversational, and everyone was very kind!

totally agree!

Did they share any info on how many interviews have been given out? timline etc? Thanks!

were the Rs from the last few days MD only or MD/PhD?

Also how receptive is this school to pre-II updates/LOCI

Post-secondary submission email says that applicants may send "occasional, substantiative updates if appropriate"

Did people send thank you notes? Can’t remember what they said, if we should upload or email (or if they mentioned it at all). Thank you!!

I emailed mine!

hi everyone! I have an interview coming up and was wondering what your experience was. Is it chill? Do they grill you? Any themes they like to emphasize? Thanks in advance!

for those accepted at Cornell, is that only Md PhD?

yep

just got an ii! when do they email to let us actually schedule it? i just submitted the attestation and headshot

mine got approved the next day and I was able to schedule that day. they send you two dates in the same week.

For people receive II, did the school look up your linkedIn?

for me i didn’t have anyone look

Doesn’t it seem like Cornell is very behind in terms of II? Seems like they sent a lot higher percentage of interviews last year by now.

Does cornell accept post-interview updates? If so, where do I upload them? I can't find an option on the portal.

They accept pre and post ii updates to their email: [email protected]

Y'all think there's more II to go out?

For thank you notes, have people been CCing admissions or just emailing directly?

Has anyone sent an LOI/update letter?

I did back in November, never got a response

I did after my interview and got a reply saying it was received about a week after.

Has anyone had a Weill Cornell med student contact them from that thing they sent last month?

nope!

lol is an II even possible at this stage of the game

This post has been deleted

Where did you send it to?

Yes! I got an email from a student two weeks ago

have they let other people into the session now?

If I haven't, should I reach out?

i haven’t either but maybe it’s just that some of the students haven’t gotten around to reaching out, and some have

also does anyone think it’s worth sending a letter of interest if i have no meaningful updates? interviewed november

is it time to give up for an II for cornell?

is it???? debating if i shold send update

im wondering too

For the 2024-2025 cycle, the last interview date was February 11. So there might be a little more time but they are mostly done if they are going based on similar timelines. But again, all conjecture.

Last interview date as in last day it was conducted or last invite that was sent out? I feel like if we don't get an interview by next week then it's time to lose hope

Final interview day. So the last II's will probably go out the first week of February.

Do people think Cornell keeps track of who attends the optional zoom info sessions? Does attendance help for those who have interviewed?

I definitely don't think they take attendance and Im definitely attending all of them just in case they do (but seriously, I have the time to attend them, I don't think you need to go out of your way)

does cornell value letters of intent post-II? nyc based and my partner is here, would love to stay <3

Do we think Cornell is done with II? They haven't sent any since the beginning of the month.

I sent one for MSTP!

Hi owlmstp, how long after your interview did you send the letter of intent?

THESE DAMN NEWSLETTER EMAILS IVE HAD ENOUGH

Bro wait why has cornell not had any II this month??? That’s wild. I just sent an update letter
