<p>Hey guys, do you have any clue when the grades will be out for Spring 2007? Will it pop up earlier than June 4th?</p>
<p>Probably, but the official date is June 4th. They are usually early, at least they were over winter break.</p>
<p>This upcoming Friday for seniors.</p>
<p>I think May 25 is the best bet!</p>
<p>3.98 for the semester. Good I guess.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of the other seniors graduating this weekend! It's been a roller coaster of a 4 years. 0.7 difference b/w my best and worst semester GPA's. Relationships made and broken. Fun times at parties. Sketchy times as well. </p>
<p>It's interesting to reflect on how much I've matured since my HS days and even since freshman year. I guess I'm an adult now :'( Now I just need to clear the 60 beer bottles sitting in my living room before my parents show up tonight...</p>
<p>How did you find out exactly? I don't see it on JTF</p>
<p>I think only the seniors get their grades today.</p>
<p>Norcal, ru heading to med school next yr?</p>
<p>congrats on the graduation...</p>
<p>Nope. I will be completing a 1-year NIH fellowship before heading off to med school. So I will be applying this year and matriculating in 2008.</p>
<p>norcalguy, are you doing this to improve your grade? rumors have it med schools only look at the grades you achieved at your LAST degree. So a lot of cornell students with sub 3 GPAs(engineering especially) would get a masters at Cornell, get a 4.0, and then apply to med school.</p>
<p>This seems like a loophole to me that needs to be fixed.</p>
<p>I don't think the fellowship has anything to do with grades, well sort of. If you apply a year later, the medical schools can see your senior year grades instead of everything up to junior year, so it is sort of a way to increase your GPA. The fellowship is just one year of research. </p>
<p>Also I don't really think it's a loophole because for med school GPA isn't everything, and they do look for life experiences, so I guess in some instances, getting a Masters is a life experience. The Cornell Med dean said they don't look at the grades from graduate school.</p>
<p>A fellowship isn't a degree granting program he won't be getting any grades, it's more like a job</p>
<p>Grades won't be up until at least Wednesday, because my ILRIC339 TA told me he's handing them in this Tuesday.</p>

<p>No, there are no classes or grades involved. It is simply a chance for me to explore my research interests full-time.</p>
<p>The second part about med schools is untrue. Med schools value your undergrad grades far more than your graduate grades.</p>
