They just sent a group e-mail out to several of us who had responded, saying that Second Look Weekend is full and we have been placed on a waiting list. Argh! Waitlisted again!
Hey guys, it turns out that I won't be able to make it to second look weekend. A family emergency has come up, and I'll be out of the country. So the waitlist should be moving, if only by one spot ! I hope you all have a great time.
I RSVP'd for second look on Feb 3, but I never heard back from Case. I'm not sure what to think guys! For those of you that are going, did you hear back from Case, or only those on the waitlist?
Hey rev,
Did you hear from Case yet about the possibility of showing up for social functions only?
They sent me a confirmation email with more info.
Dear rev.doc,
Although we would like to open the Second Look Weekend to everyone, we are not able to accommodate more people than are on our list of registered students for the weekend events. Just a few of the issues involved in the weekend include space, food and transportation. We, Dr. Mehta, Christian Essman, Dean Ornt and I, discussed this thoroughly and are really unable to make it work for more than the 130 students currently registered.
Our waiting list is 25+ and most of those people have the same requests you do; wishing to get their own room and attending the events. We will be happy to send any printed material passed out during the weekend to you if you would like.
Sincerely,
Barbara
Just thought it might be fun to meet some of you in person! I completely understand if you want to preserve your anonymity, but if you're up for saying hi (and/or want to have someone you "know" to talk to at the beginning of the evening ), let's meet up!
The reception on Friday starts at 6:30pm, so how about 6:45pm (unless the dean is speaking or something like that)? Since the reception is at the hotel, maybe we could meet by the porter's podium by the front door? Anyone else have any other suggestions? Who's with me?

Are any waitlisters planning on visiting Cleveland during the same time as Second Look? If so, we could meet during a time we're all available (probably between registration and the reception if that works for everyone). If not, it's probably easier to meet up at the reception the first night.
If you're a waitlister and you'd like to join us, please post or PM me! I'd love to meet you, too! Thanks!
My SO and I will be in Cleveland to walk around campus and look at neighborhoods. We don't get in until Saturday morning, but I would love to meet up with anyone who's around.
Hey pom,
Thanks for the links. We're probably looking to buy, though we'd start later on this summer. I haven't totally decided about Case yet; we just wanted to get a better sense of what the area would be like to live in.
Sorry to miss you and your husband. I hope you have a great time at Second Look -- and please post how it was afterward. I'd love to hear what it was like.
Hello to all who have patiently waited to hear about Second Look Weekend openings. We wanted to let you know that all openings have now been filled and all registration is now closed. This means that even if a change occurs we are not able to add people. Also, because of space limitations and other logistical aspects, we are unable to invite the wait list students to single events or even events that might appear that it wouldn't make a difference.
We do still have a large number of students on the wait list and want to be fair to everyone, so to allow just some of the wait list people to attend events, is really not an option. The information passed out at Second Look will be posted on the web at https://iapply.case.edu/ and you may feel free to contact the admissions office for any additional information you may need.
We look forward to seeing you in July.
hey pom, i just wanted some clarification .. you've been waitlisted for Second Look Weekend? b/c i've been waitlisted too, and would love for a chance to get to meet some future classmates.
are any other waitlisters, going to attend the information sessions and things where there might not be a restriction on the number of ppl?
Sorry I missed you guys at the beginning of the reception--our home inspection took almost 2 hours longer than scheduled (~4 hours total!), and I couldn't get there by 6:45pm. But I did meet cubbbie and her SO at the reception. I also think I met Lanced at the breakfast on Saturday. I probably met more of you without knowing it!
Anyway, here's my recap of Second Look, for those of you who weren't able to attend:
Then the IT guy told us that we have to pick one of their 4 available computers. (I agree, Piper, that was a little disappointing.)
Anyway, I hope other people can fill in the gaps and/or give their perspective of the weekend! Feel free to PM me or post if you have any questions! I hope you all had as good a time as I did, and that you decide to attend!
I doubt it can't do vertical scroll...on my laptop that's an option that you have to enable via software that comes with the computer.
It was nice to finally meet you pom! (See what I mean about my SO?)
So he is now very, very enthusiastic about the school, which is great. Even though I really don't know where I'm at in terms of choosing between Case and Columbia (I even had an MS-1 at Case tell me over the weekend that I should go to Columbia. What?!?), I'm glad I went because I do think that, no matter what happens, I will be pretty intimately connected to the school.
I smell a future class president.
Thanks, guys! I also got the update this morning from Christian on iApply, so the computer situation is a bit clearer, now.
I haven't heard anything about scholarships...
