<p>Monydad - Interesting, though that seems rather inconvenient. I know I wouldn’t have a car, and so the bus ride would be inconvenient (1.50 per ride and 40 minutes?). That’s pretty ridiculous, though possibly doable. </p>
<p>Miaroxs - Thank you! I spoke to one of the premed advisors at Cornell, so I don’t know why they said that there is no longer any staff that records current premed data. Yes, it was very hard for me to believe that, so I am glad you found and attached the 2011-2013 premed acceptance data. That is reassuring, as I had thought that Cornell had something to hide, but their 2011-2013 premed data looks fairly consistent with the previous years’ data.<br>
I agree that it doesn’t make sense to compare based on fundamental strengths, as both WashU and Cornell are similar in this regard. However in my opinion, it does make some sense to compare based on clinical opportunities and medical school outcomes. I agree though that not including D.O. schools largely skews the data (if it is enough to make the acceptance outcomes equal to WashU’s, I’m not sure). Thanks for the info on clinical opportunities. I wanted to volunteer throughout the school year at a hospital, so in this regard WashU has a distinct advantage. I would go broke riding the bus to Cayuga Medical Center haha. Though I agree that the number of research opportunities at Cornell, even for undergrads, is unparalleled.<br>
Miaroxs- if you don’t mind me asking, how does your kid like his/her premed experience at Cornell?</p>
<p>Cruiser101 - in light of the fact that a Cornell premed advisor provided me with misinformation, I apologize for some of the comments I made directed towards you. I am very sorry, I should have trusted you. Thanks for the advice you gave me, by the way. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how does your son like his premed experience at Cornell?</p>
