    Damn Waitlists

    Waitlists are actually good- you will be amazed at the amount of movement that goes on up until the very end. Of course you have to have the stomach for it - so suck it up and the odds are that you will be heading off to somewhere medical( and not necessarily inpatient psych) by the end of the...

    Does everyone get waitlisted at Cornell?

    not everyone is on the waitlist and it does move and keeps moving - I got in off the waitlist fairly early and one of my present claamates was literally on their way to another school when they got the okay, turned around and started heading toward NYC. SO waitlist is good!:clap: :clap: :clap:

    I am SAD Weill rejected my 35

    remember Cornell also has a relatively small class and likes to pride itself on balancing various geographical, sexual, racial, age, experience etc etc factors so its really up in the air .as far as their picks

    A question for people who took time off before applying

    I worked for six months and was a ski bum for five- the latter gave me intersting non medical things to discuss at interviews and most interviewers agreed it waqs good to take time off.

    UPENN WAITLISTED PEOPLE w/ STATS (this is purgatory)

    I was tier one last year with stats almost identical to GG16- I would suggest strong letter of interest. also if you are near the area stop in, if you work with Penn professors have them drop a word. Good luck

    Sinai Hospital Article

    The results of the comissioners report showed that the care given by Sinai was woefully inadequate - in part because there was only one first year resident assigned to the entire care unit(check today's times for details) At any rate think this may give some hope to changes in residency rules...

    WashU vs. Cornell for MD

    The Cornell students I know DO go to the Met- in fact the school sends out emails with various low cost cultural opportunities-I'm sure other NYC schools do. Also since the housing is subsidized you can afford it- sure food is more expensive but there are rather inexpensive options. Remember...

    Those accepted and/or waiting on Cornell...

    I think Cornell takes many people from their waiting list- some almost immediately- so don't despair yet.
