Due to the large number of applications we receive, we are not able to provide individual information of this sort.

Due to the large number of applications we receive, we do not provide individual counseling. However, we will try to answer your questions. For individual counseling, we recommend that you meet with your health professions advisor at your college.

The review process can take a long time, so please be patient. While your application is in review, remember to:

• Keep your contact information current within your AMCAS application. Email is our primary means of communication, but also be sure to keep your address and phone current in AMCAS.
• Send updates if something significant changes in your application (e.g. major award or publication). We are open to receiving substantive and occasional updates. Check your emails from us for other update instructions.

No. WCMC does not participate in the Early Decision program.

Weill Cornell receives approximately 7,000 applications for 106 positions in the entering class. Each year, we interview 700-750 applicants for the M.D. program, and around 70 for the M.D.-Ph.D. program.

No. Most acceptances are announced in March, after all interviews have been completed. At that time we also establish a wait list. As spring progresses, offers of admission are extended periodically to students on the wait list.

The evaluation process starts soon after an application is complete. All materials must be received before the application is considered, including the supplemental application, application fee or waiver, MCAT scores, and letters of recommendation. Because we screen each applicant individually, the process may take up to several months. We work in order of completion date, and receive a large number of applications.

No. We receive your official grades through AMCAS and there is no need to send us your transcripts directly. However, be sure that your official transcripts are sent to AMCAS within their deadline. Transcripts are required only if you are accepted to the entering class.

Yes. We will accept most materials that you send in support of your application. However, please limit the documents only to those that will give us extra insight about you as an individual. Do not send us reprints of published articles or copies of your senior thesis and/or research papers.

All applicants must apply through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). The deadline to submit the application is October 15, 2024.
