+1 OOS MD Secondary
I'm also OOS for MD but haven't received my secondary. I realized I definitely unsubscribed from some Cornell promotional email lists... No shot I accidentally blocked it, right? Do they send in waves even if I was verified super early?

Also haven't received a secondary invite and was verified early June. Assuming they just send in waves and we should hopefully get the emails sometime soon

It shouldn't be blocked, don't worry! They come in waves, even if verified super early :)

Good luck, everyone!
I payed and submitted my secondary, and I know it said it may take 2 business days to get a confirmation email, but right now the only indication that it was sent is the word "finished" written in gray at the bottom of the home page. If I click "view application," it seems like I can still edit it. Can anyone clarify for me? Also is there supposed to be a separate link for prereqs or has that changed this cycle? Saw something about it on a previous thread. TIA.

Last years SDN indicates it's typically MSTP applications that are rejected this early.

Did you get a 'complete' email notification? I submitted a week ago, still have not got the 'complete' email.
Also, what's this 'Also is there supposed to be a separate link for prereqs or has that changed this cycle?',? I don't remember seeing an extra link. Thanks!
From last year's SDN, someone mentioned submitting writing sample to Cornell. What is it? Is this required or recommended this year as well?

i got a “complete” email the day after i submitted. and i saw somewhere (maybe sdn, i can’t remember) that in previous cycles, people had to enter prereqs but i didn’t have to anywhere. just wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing something but i think we’re good.

Admitted last cycle and didnt submit any writing sample or recall anything.
I was verified a week ago but haven't received a secondary yet, anyone know if this is normal?

Aren't these two questions in the secondary asking the exact same thing?
2. Describe a setback or failure that required you to reassess your approach. How did you respond? (1525 character limit)
4. Describe a time when your perspective was challenged by someone with a different viewpoint. How did you engage with that difference, and what did you take away from the experience? (1525 character limit)

they can be, i guess? the first one i interpreted as a critical thinking + resilience focused prompt, and the second i interpreted as a empathy + diversity prompt
