Hey I'm thinking of applying here. Can anyone tell me their impressions of the school? Is Cleveland interesting at all?

Myuu, which are you? college track or university track?
 
Sweet, Case looks awesome. Good choice! I really hope I get an interview with either program.

If you get both interviews, I believe they schedule them on consecutive days. Prepare to marathon!!

I wish I knew! I encountered a similar problem a year ago. And now I'm stuck with it.:laugh:
 
are the they strict about the 3500 character limit? it says about 3500 so im not sure
 
good to see a lot of action already for the next year class! it's so exciting :)

sup myuu :D

on the topic of stats for our recently accepted class (i'm class of 2013, up student)
hmm let's see, the UP students had an average mcat of 34.1 and the cclcm average was 34.7 i believe, and the gpa averages were 3.66 and 3.7 or something close to that. so it's not a huge difference in terms of numbers.

good luck!

Case is super-fast. I submitted last night and was marked complete this morning. I'm impressed with the school already.

just added Case to my school list after some consideration. good luck to all!
 
Just submitted, though its against my better judgement. This school is way out of my league. I tried to skip it so i dont have to feel bad when they reject me asap :(. But dr mehta got me too excited about the school :(. I guess at least its free? :)
 
So i was looking at the print preview of my application and I noticed this:
CURRICULUM ESSAY (CCLCM ONLY) . Does anyone know what this is as I did not see it anywhere on the actual app itself

its for those applying to the cleveland clinic program, its a 5 yr research oriented MD program at case. If u didnt apply to it, which i doubt you did judging from your response, its nothign to worry about its not needed:)
 
Lol I'm applying to the CCCLM program but I had only two essay show up as being required(the group essay and weakness one)

I searched for that too but couldn't find it. Maybe a mistake carry-over from last years app?

I would ask for you, but I have no idea how to contact the CCLCM admissions office. The UP one isright around the corner, though...

It's subliminally suggesting that Case is awesome and you don't want to go anywhere else.:thumbup:

For anyone else wondering, I called today and was told that it was a carry over from last year.:thumbup:
 
So...I have a few research experiences...Does it matter which I talk about? I sorta talked about one in my personal essay which was much more scientific and advanced bc it was research in a lab...the other option is a clinical research project i did in undergrad which really wasnt that complicated...but which had results that i could talk about. Which is better...to talk technical or give a story with a beginning middle and end?

thannnks
 
you know what, my knee is starting to pain a little...

:)

Well, it doesn't have to be the knee. There's lots of variety in the bones left for the rest of the class to break...:thumbup:
 
anyone find this secondary even worse than chicago?? hahah maybe I'm just being a baby, but I've finished all my other secondary essays and now just have this one. and i can't seem to get myself motivated to do it. luckily there's the 2 week deadline, so I have to do it soon. I really wish my LORs were all in so I could actually send these darn things

it was a pain, but no where near as bad as the UCs, USC, or rush, or loyola. I procrastinated a lot on case though.

Pritzker's last year I just didn't bother finishing, actually.:laugh::laugh:


But I submitted Case's secondary late, so by then I'd already assembled most of the material needed to write those essays.... essay? Hmm...

in the "optional" research essay, i talked about all of my different research experiences in order and showed how i "evolved" with them. i put more emphasis on my current/most recent research project. i had talked about research in my personal statement, but hadn't gone into much details. the case research essay allows you to go into the technicals, so use that to your advantage to show you know your stuff
 
Anybody else hear about Obama's upcoming visit to the Cleveland Clinic this week? In his press conference today he mentioned that it's another example (in addition to Mayo) of what health care should look like. :thumbup:

yup he'll be here tomorrow. i guess today now.

thumbs up? thumbs up to rushing health care reform? we need GOOD reform, and i don't see what obama's hurry is to finish it all in the next few weeks.

Yikes, I just meant thumbs up to Cleveland Clinic as a model for health care reform. You're not disputing that, are you? :confused:

oh misunderstood. as i understand it, they pay physicians a set salary so doctors don't all clamor to get the most # of procedures in possible. that's a good idea that should be looked at more.

but boo obamacare as it stands
 
case has a two week deadline? does this include LORs?
 
what are you talking about 2 weeks?
that is not true (i think)

Here's a portion of what I received in the e-mail from case asking me to complete their secondary: We request that you complete the online secondary within two weeks of receipt even though the deadline for last submission is December 15; completing the secondary as early as possible will enhance your chances of being invited for an interview.

So I guess they don't have a 2-week deadline but they strongly encourage you to complete it within two weeks. No, I don't think that incldues LORs since you can submit the secondary without the LORs being downloaded, but I would call them just to be sure. Good luck everyone :luck:
