It sounds like you have enough upper-level classes that it shouldn't be an issue.
I have AP credit for bio and calc and haven't run into any issues in the UP...unless they plan on confronting me about it when I show up for orientation in 3 weeks, that is.
You can use your Mac (or any other computer) if you prefer. The only downside of doing that is that you may not be able to get tech support through the school if you need it. I'm only pointing this out because I was one of those people who was in the tech office like every other week, especially my first year.
At age 33-34, you would definitely not be the oldest student that CCLCM has admitted or matriculated.Actually I seem to be on the "young" side of non-trad. If my opps came to fruition probably apply at 33-34 yrs, and yes opp shall remain nameless at this point. I was just curious because the local small class size med school where I am admits older students, but seems to only admit one of each gender at 30+. So I wondered if CCLCM did something similar due to small class sizes or just whoever seemed most qualified regardless of age. Seems to be the latter from what I've gathered. Since it is my favorite school by far at this point, I like those odds a bit better
Case is a non-screening school. This means that if you apply, you will definitely receive a secondary. It is based solely upon completing your AMCAS and checking off the box to submit it to Case.what exactly are secondary and interviews based on? I see from the MSAR data the mean is 3.8/35, and I have nowhere near there. Totally wanna apply, but I'm trying to look at the realistic options... Completely interested and loving the school though
Case policy on AP credits (from the Case website, FAQs):
Case policy on AP credits (from the Case website, FAQs):
AP credits are acceptable for mathematics, physics, and general chemistry. They are not accepted for organic chemistry or biology. If a student does have AP biology credits, they must complete two upper level biology courses to complete their premedical requirements. We do advise that if you are not a science major you complete some upper level science courses in order to demonstrate to the Admissions Committee a mastery of the more difficult sciences.

Google is your friend.
so what kind of research do you UP and CCLM students get up to? I was in a nutritional biochem lab, mostly focusing on glucose metabolism. Are there any labs you'd really recommend looking into? I think I'd like to stick to biochem and clinical trials, but I'm going in with an open mind. Did you really change your mind throughout the program as to what kind of research you'd want to do? Do most students end up in clinical trials?
And CCLMer, you're already done with your fifth year of research, yes? How was it? Was there a good work environment in your lab? Do you work with your lab over summers before the fifth year? And what's the totem pole like when you get into your research? n00b or post-doc ish?
sorry about the machine gun questions, I have no control over my rambling fingers
from me!Don't worry...although rambling fingers is part of the sequelae of clinical symptoms that leads up to Restless Fists Syndrome (RFS) if not treated. I suffer from RFS, so I know. Although with medication I rarely have attacks anymore. Go have that checked out.
Hohoho...you should check out Dr. Hanson's research with PEPCK-C genetic mice. He's a Case instructor and a guest lecturer at CCLCM. I ran into him with a classmate at the opera once...really great speaker and really nice person. First person to link to video of his "mighty mouse" videos earns a
Also, I'm a big fan of dr. Touhy's breast cancer vaccine work.
Short answer...you can do research in nearly anything here.

As vc said, there are a ton of options. You could definitely do biochem or clinical trials research, though probably not both at the same time.
Yes, I have already graduated. Since I did a clinical project, I wasn't in the lab. I worked with a large clinical group that had a bunch of projects going on at once. Mostly I was working on two projects and helping a little here and there on a couple of others. I did work with the same PI during my second research summer, which is the clinical research summer. But it's not necessary to work with one of the PIs that you do your clinical summer with, and a lot of people don't.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE DR. HANSON! He was one of my biochem profs this past year. Amazing professor, one of the best I have ever had. And what a sweet sweet guy. I would take biochem all over again just for him
Oh, and here's the vid: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/video/2007/nov/02/supermouse
<-- as promised!

B. The Nazgul were nine human kings given rings of power by Sauron. They could each take at least 10 death eaters out by themselves.
And wow that is not the link. I'm always getting screwed over by my clipboard

I thought "Surely, this is NOT a co-incidence?". Then my son, Shirley, agreed.
Sadly, Dr. Hanson jumped ship from the Case Med curriculum once we went to PBL(WR2).
He's no longer teaching undergrad biochem either. What a profound loss from academia.

Hmmm....some might offer that Gandalf was indeed in possession of the Ring of Fire (aka Nayra The Great ring, which of course is one of the three most powerful rings besides The One). Which means he was a badass and therefore indeed capable of handling not only a balrog, but a giant snake too. OK...fine THAT MAKES me look like an uber-geek.

Really, I love Harry Potter and LOtR immensely. I can't reaaallly think of a single HP creature that evokes as many "Uh oh!" feelings as LOtR creatures, though. Even if we ignore Nagini and upgrade to Slytherin's basilisk at Hogwarts, that basilisk still was beaten by a rather awkward/clumsy 12 year old (who admittedly did have the plus of Godric's sword, but it's not like that imbues one with ridiculous sword-fighting skills). Can anyone think of a HP creature as scary as a LOtR creature, a la Balrog or Wraith? I guess the dragons of the two series seem on par...but Smaug was all clever and snarky, while Rowling's dragons seem to be your more classic "I breathe fire and RAWWWR!" I'd rather be in a small space with Smaug than the Hungarian horntail.
Oh right. A friend just mentioned dementors, but mentions that they don't seem to have minds of their own as much in comparison to the Wraiths. Hmm but the Wraiths were kind of just fingers of Sauron....hmm now we are getting more involved in this conversation and figuring out their respective psyches some I'm going to leave the interwebz and pay attention to my friends.
Looking forward to getting the secondary soon!
Several people have gotten NIH fellowships, Doris Duke fellowships, etc. It is fairly common for people to do their research years away from Cleveland. I would say around one fourth to one third of my class did that.
That is a major bummer. And Obama was going to be so good for science and research.
Awesome, good luck!
At the risk of turning this thread political, I'd say it's because we're too busy starting up a third war in Libya. But what do I know.
Residency orientation. It's pretty intense so far, and it majorly cuts into my SDN surfing time.
As awesome as it would be if this were true, it's not. If you're accepted, the school WILL pay for your second look costs in the spring though.
Interesting question...I haven't read the books in years now...I would have to say diagon alley...but I am probs wrong.
