AtLeastOneAdmission

Anyone here who got accepted to Cornell BME? How early have you submitted your application?

Hello, I'm wondering the same thing about Cornell. I remember that the moment I submitted my application on their portal, the final message said that the admission is rolling based and that I would receive the decision as soon as it's made.

Was anyone contacted by Cornell? Judging from the results panel from the last year, they were supposed to send out the first wave of January acceptances in the beginning of this week.

Was contacted by UCLA today and was asked to submit an additional document, but was not given any info on the status of the application. I have a feeling the first wave of interviews/acceptances will be sent out this/next week.

Yup. It's almost a midnight in Pennsylvania, but I still keep refreshing my inbox in a hope of getting any updates lol.

Hey there! Congrats on your admissions and thank you for responding! How early did you submit your application and would you mind revealing the initials of the professor in your SOP? It's just Cornell is my top choice and i submitted my application quite early. kinda starting to worry if its rolling and I was rejected but not notified.

Hi everyone! Anyone here received a Cornell BME admission email? Could you share your stats and the POI initials? Thanx!

Hi! Thank you for the reply! POI: person of interest ( more like potential principal investigator). I've applied in late November, my POI's initials are S.N. and I still didn't get any updates. Did you contact your POI before the application?

Anyone getting that little heart attack when UPenn sends a reminder for their online chat?

Hi there folks! Anyone who applied to Umich Chem. eng, Ph.D. and got accepted? Judging from the Results board, there are already 10 people, so I was wondering if anyone can share their stats and initials of the POI? Thanks! I hope everyone hears back soon and happy holidays!
