I am going to attempt to upload a picture I took today on my way home. For those of you not in Cleveland, you missed the one perfect fall day we have had for this year. Sorry.
Can you guys see the picture?
Good call. How about now? Wow, it looks even better all blown up! I shrank it down some more though, because that was just a little too out of control.
Well, the question I got was asking about a mediastinal mass, which turned out to be a nonseminomatous tumor based on the biochem. Go figure. I was thinking T-cell leukemia or thymoma based on its location. 😳

Oh puhleeze. I took Step 1 a year and four months ago! After being on rotations all this time, I'm lucky I even remember what a germ cell is.
See below.
Exactly. When acceptances do come in late December, there will only be approximately ten of them. They will all be given first by phone call, followed up by mail. CCLCM never communicates with applicants through Iapply.
Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck!
It's impossible to predict, which is why we don't overaccept. Last year I believe we had about 50-55 acceptances for 32 seats. So there may not be tons of waitlist movement, but there will be some. 🙂
I doubt there's much waitlist movement. I feel like once people see what the program is really like, they spring CCLCM to the top of their list.
CCLCM = college program
All of the last page's worth of posts are making me confused.
I'd say those that have other conflicting priorities. Sure, people care a lot about money, but especially for people who have their own families or otherwise have major issues they need to consider, sometimes coming here doesn't work out. I told you about that one example. 🙁
Here it is only October, and with all the acceptances you already have, I think it's fair to say that you've had a pretty good golden touch so far. If you told me which numbers to pick for the Ohio lotto, I might actually buy them. Keep the faith, my friend.vc7777 said:
We are so outnumbered. It's not fair. On the other hand, we are much better financed. Let's count our money!!! 😀iceman77_7 said:Come to the UP! Down with CCLCM! *starts humming the theme from West Side Story and snapping fingers*
That is SO last year. 😛
You're looking at this all wrong, and here's why. You are assuming that everyone who interviews has an equal chance of getting accepted. But actually, the 250 interviewees are NOT all equal. It's not like the adcomm fills a hat with everyone's names and randomly selects 10 of you out at the subcommittee meeting! Fit matters a lot at CCLCM, and the adcomm rates each of the applicants after their interviews during the regular bimonthly meetings. Some of the interviewees will be rock stars who the adcomm will almost certainly accept. Others will obviously not be right for this school, and those applicants may not even be considered by the adcomm during the subcommittee meetings (where acceptees are selected). A big chunk of people will be somewhere in the middle, but even there, all applicants are not equal. The moral of this story is that some of the 250 interviewees will have significantly better odds of getting in than 1/5, and others will basically have no chance. If you're in the first group, that will look awesomely good.
Nice! Glad I could do my part to contribute to your education. Let's see, what other interesting facts have I learned that might show up on future exams....when do you do neuro block? Just so you know, there are not any radiologic or lab tests used to diagnose Parkinson's. No tests have ever been shown to be superior compared to diagnosis based on history and physical exam alone. I got that one right, but I kind of guessed because I couldn't think of what findings would show up in CSF, CT, etc. Turns out there's a good reason for that!
