Bust, you are a total freak. We gotta get you in at CC.UNC-or-BUST said:
gcomplex, Bust here is volunteering for your clinical trial. 
According to khalad, I'm already a current student. According to Bust, I've already withdrawn. Will the real Q please stand up?Saluki said:

It's ok if you haven't made a final commitment to the school; I haven't, either. You're just meeting with the person to make a contact and find out what kinds of projects will be available to you in that lab, make sure you like the PI, etc. I've met with researchers at several schools, as a matter of fact. Many admissions offices will even set up meetings with PIs for you during interview or second look visits. Or, if they won't, you can set up the meetings yourself. I've done it both ways at various schools. If you know that you definitely want to do research while you're in med school, it's smart to find a PI you like at each place so that you'll be all set with a lab no matter where you end up.
Yes, I would want to keep doing research throughout the year. I think that whether you have time depends on what other ECs (or outside responsibilities like family, S.O., etc.) you have, as well as on the type of research. Probably wet-lab biology research won't lend itself well to such a part-time schedule, but analytical or theoretical research could work, assuming that the hours are flexible. Several students at various schools told me that they do literature reviews or work on clinical trials where there are long periods with no data being collected, then they have to work for a day or two, and they can analyze the data whenever they have time. One very interesting guy I met was doing medical economics research and managed to get two or three papers published while he was an MSI. His work was completely theoretical, and he did it on weekends and vacations after he was done studying for his classes. So it can be done, but you'll need to manage your time well, and you probably won't be able to do experimental labwork because the schedule isn't flexible enough.khalad said:

I talked to Elizabeth Myers, and she said that we could pick them up at the second look. Maybe they were running behind and figured they'd just wait to give them to us since we were coming anyway?Saluki said:

I was. I can't go to Baylor's second look, though; it's the same day that I'm defending my dissertation.UNC-or-BUST said:

They definitely did accept a full class, but unlike many schools, they do not overaccept. So there should be some waitlist movement soon I think. Good luck to everyone waiting.TheMightyAngus said:

mmmm..... information.....khalad said:
Not sure exactly, but I'm guessing approximately 35-40 people total were accepted for a class of 32. They said a few of the acceptees did not come to the second look, and there were about 32 people there.WorkHrd PlayHrd said:
to everyone. whats your 'general' opinion of what the waitlist movement might look like?QofQuimica said:Not sure exactly, but I'm guessing approximately 35-40 people total were accepted for a class of 32.

Just to clarify, when I said before that they do not overaccept, I meant that they did not accept twice the class size like many schools do. They do accept a few extra people though, like maybe half a dozen. Again, the list should start to move soon, b/c they have an April 15 decision deadline, not May 15 like most schools.
Hard to predict. Most people seemed to really like the school, the program, and the other students, but financial aid is a major consideration for many of us. Case is a very expensive school, unfortunately.UNC-or-BUST said:
