The class size is 32.
Actually, it is very fair, because the stats quoted are for each individual program, NOT for the entire school. Keep in mind that the admissions offices and adcomms are essentially independent. Applications to CCLCM do not count toward the UP total unless the applicants apply to both programs.
Wow, vc7777, are you just finding out about Bill Clinton sleeping with that woman?
There are always rumors circulating about CCLCM changing affiliations from Case to other schools, or breaking off from Case and forming our own school the way Mayo did. You now know exactly as much about it as I do.
Yes, although CCF provides millions of dollars worth of charity care each year. Here's a recent article discussing both the charity care and general community benefits provided by Cleveland hospitals.
Some do. In fact, one of the students in the class that just graduated decided to stay and get an entire PhD. I'm not sure how many other people are taking an extra year (or three!) to continue their research, but it's definitely possible.
LMAO, man are you full of questions tonight!
😛
No. But I'm pretty astigmatic, so YVMV (your view may vary).
You can apply your "year of research" to your PhD if you decide to do that (I think I remember that question coming up during our interview day).
Haha, yes, sorry, I was already in bed. 😀
Congrats!
Pretty much.
Our admissions is semi-rolling, not rolling. If you interview in late November, you would still be considered at the first subcommittee meeting on December 15. Anyone who interviews before December 15 (even December 14!) can still be considered then.
I agree.
Nice! 👍
Usually there are around 4-6. I've seen as few as one and I think the most is 8. The person who interviewed alone, wow, talk about getting individualized attention! Regardless, there are often more students than interviewees in the room at lunchtime and wrap-up. The one time I went to lunch so far this year, almost the entire first year class stopped by after they got out of PBL, and I think the four applicants who were there that day got a little overwhelmed.
Well, I am under the weather and laying low, I guess I'll chalk much of this whole post to Nyquil but here goes:
My bad...I was partly hoping to drum up some fine intellectual talk about the future of the school...but we have a "failure to start"...we had a great push with the eggplant talk. But things are sputtering again... and we are almost within 100 posts of Mayo too...🙂Wow, vc7777, are you just finding out about Bill Clinton sleeping with that woman?
So seriously, the CEO did look into changing affiliations a couple of years ago, but the deal fell through. This was all chronicled in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. As far as I know, no further talks with Columbia have occurred.
I agree. CCLCM or Mayo wouldn't be good fits for everyone. I would also argue that judging a school by stats like number of apps, number interviewed, and number accepted is pretty bogus. It doesn't factor in any of the subjective things that are important to a lot of people, like geography. I bet if Case were in Boston, all three programs would get twice as many applications (or more) than we get being in Cleveland. Take a look in the MSAR at how many applications the east coast schools and California schools get, and you'll see what I mean.
Haha! I'll post an anonymous interview feedback too on Wednesday! Look for it folks! Shhh...no one will ever know it's me 😏
Why not? 😀
I hadn't ever been to Ohio before either. I don't think anyone asked me "why Cleveland" at my interviews. But if someone does ask you, I think that question really means, "why Case/CCLCM?" It's not like anyone expects you to move here away from all your friends and family in another state just for the hell of it!
It will certainly be an original answer.
Haha, I have NEVER heard anyone call Cleveland C-town. I have heard people call it "the Cleve."
Definitely possible. Case offers several official international electives to Mexico, Dominican Republic, Thailand, and I think Honduras. CCLCM just started a new unlisted (unofficial) elective to Peru. You can also apply to do away rotations at other medical schools. This is fairly common for fourth year students. I plan to do an away next year.
Uh-oh, you again. I'm limiting you to three questions per night. You've just used up two of them. Ok, I'm kidding. You can ask four questions tonight because I'm feeling generous.brooklynblunder said:
Haha, what objective evidence from your experiences in college, volunteering and research do you have to prove that you want to come to Cleveland as a city?
I hope you're better too. Just so you know, I already had my flu shot. I refuse to get the flu this year, even though I spent this entire week having sick adults and children cough and sneeze on me for eight hours per day. The second that H1N1 vaccine comes out, I'm going to be the first deltoid muscle in line for it.
Hey, I'll write it for you. What do you say?
Ouch...shot across the bow...That's a trick question...Cleveland is a step up so he wouldn't be asking this question...Ever visited Detroit?
Where!? You aren't telling or you don't know...
I'm slow...this was like a long-wick joke bomb...BOOM!
Question #3: We will have to find someone else to operate on.
That's what I'm saying. If you get asked "why Cleveland," you should interpret it as meaning, "Why CCLCM?"
By the time the vaccine comes out, they'll all be immune already anyway.
YOU really might get asked this question. You know, just so the interviewer can see if you get defensive and all.
I haven't even decided on a specialty yet, never mind picked an away rotation!
Bwahaha.
No, I'm serious. Does it make sense to ask someone with no ties to Ohio why they want to come to Cleveland as a city in this context? If it weren't for the med school, Homoochan wouldn't be coming to visit here.
More context needed, please. Are you trying to get to Case from the airport on the Red Line?
