Hey guys,

I've been granted an interview at Cornell campus in Doha. I'd just like to know from Qataris whats the reputation of Cornell in Doha. Is it considered reputable? How's the facilities, the distance from the main city etc. Any info will be good.

 Thanks in advance!

On a US national ranking, Weill Medical college stands as teh 12th college. In the middle east, it is currently the best available medical school.

The school follows an exact parallel programs as to Weill Medical College in New York.

I am a medical student at Weill Cornell, so if you have any question dont hesitate to ask.

Answer to Sweetiepie: Weill Cornell is the only medical college in qatar as most know, and has the strongest academic/rigorous programs in the region too. Also as I said, you follow the exact curriculum of what is being taught in New York.

I wish good luck for all potential applicants to our uni.

well... the rankings for cornell NY med school are pretty high i must say...

the cornell administration (no better word in my dictionary) say that you get the same degree in qatar as you get in the states... prob is that i'm not sure about the education.. degree doesn't really matter because a doctor will get a job no matter what, but it's what the school teaches you that counts.. i guess we'll get to see stuff when we actually go there taha!!!

[yes, i got an interview too]

by the way taha, when is your interview? it would be crazy if it were on the same day.. mine's on the twelfth of march! got a week left! wish me luck everybody!!!
