Members do not see this ad.

So, if we don't get a call from CCLCM in the next few hours or days, will we get an email notification about our rejection or on hold status?

no from what i remember we automatically get considered in the next round (mid-January)..im assuming they'll be sending out acceptances to the most stellar applicants in this first round since they'll only be accepting only around 10 out of ~180+ or so applicants (not everyone has interviewed yet)...

 

[vc7777]

Nice! Can I sign up for an avian EM rotation there?

Wow, that's a tall order. Everybody wants to do a rotation at the
"av-EM", right BB?

 

[mrmilad]

Anyone off the hold list get any news yet?

Hey guys,

I've gotten a few PMs from people asking if they should give up or what their chances are. I just want to say that even though the waiting is incredibly painful, you shouldn't give up just because you didn't get a call today. This is only the first of several groups of acceptances that will go out. There will be 20+ more acceptances given out in January and February, and some people will also get in after people who are already accepted withdraw or off the waitlist in the spring. As for finding out what your chances are, unfortunately I don't think anyone can tell you that. All I can tell you is that as long as you haven't been rejected, you are still in the running. Also, I promise that I will keep you as informed as possible about what's going on.

Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Years. 🙂

 

[vc7777]

You guys! (non-gender specific term, of course)

You rock too! 👍

I wish everyone the best of luck!

I've been meaning to say this all along..

Thanks so much for your contribution!

Without your useful info, I'd simply go insane

seriously. CCLCMer is like the jack bauer/michael clayton of this process

 

[Reggieray2k]

Anyone have any good experience with a specific student host? No one came from my undergrad 🙁

 

[JJMrK]

Did people interviewing for both programs stay with 2 different hosts?

 

[Myuu]

Yo, hoya and vc--just one question.


...how does it feel?😀😀😀😀

Congrats to you both. You've earned it!

 

[twoinone]

yeah i stayed with two different hosts. both were very nice and even picked me up and dropped off at the school.

Thanks Myuu! Want to hear something? I thought it was a prank. I am still not sure how it all went down, but I am remember saying "Is this a prank?" Pinch me!

You're welcome. I know this whole waiting game can be excruciating.

If you're asking about CCLCM, everyone is nice. Pick someone starting from the bottom of the list, because they don't get asked to host as much as the people at the top.

Did people interviewing for both programs stay with 2 different hosts?

Personally, I think it would be kind of presumptuous to assume that someone would host me for two nights, so unless they offered, I would plan on finding somewhere else to stay the second night. When I interviewed here, I spent one night in a hotel and one night with a student.

Thanks Myuu! Want to hear something? I thought it was a prank. I am still not sure how it all went down, but I am remember saying "Is this a prank?" Pinch me!

Doing it the other way around (i.e., scaring someone by saying they got rejected and then saying, just kidding, you're in!) is a prank. Calling someone and pretending they got accepted when they didn't is just being a jerk, and it's not at all funny. 👎

 

[LAman10]

ah crud. I was without phone service this whole weekend. not that I'm expecting a call or anything, but IF they did, would they have left a message? lol

 

[CCLCMer]

Yes. You would also be receiving a packet by mail that contains the acceptance letter, so hopefully you aren't without postal service. 😛

 

[vc7777]

Wow, what a weekend...back at work. People are more than happy to bring me back to reality, even if it's a short week!

 

[ballin]

Do you guys now how many people are accepted and how many students matriculate to the CCLCM program? thx!

 

[vc7777]

I might be mistaken, but I think the rough order of magnitude answer is:

"About 50 accepted for exactly 32 seats."

Caveat Emptor being nobody outside of the adcom knows their matriculation rate, so the first number may be way off (either way).

And 12 of those acceptances have gone out already.

 

[ballin]

Thanks for the info. Do you know how many people actually get interviewed? thx again!

"About two hundred fifty"

[ThatQuestionGuy]

wow this is the longest interview day I've ever seen. 7:30 AM - 4 PM? 2 hour interviews and a half-hour interview? yikes

 

[vc7777]

Yeah, the interviews go by fast, but the tour is longer than most...
Wear Rockports or comfy shoes. Ladies, bring walking shoes.

Fun story 'bout that.

Uh, oh. Can't let them get too far ahead...


Here's a fun new story from the Myuu's Amazing Injuries file, now with backstory:

So, it's ice skating season here in Cleveland and, being an adventurous type, I've been wanting to hit the ice for quite some time now.

If you recall, the last entry in the Myuu's Amazing Injuries file involved me rolling over and then falling onto my own foot, for epic five-weeks-in-an-aircast funtiems. Since then, I have tried sprinting--previously weakened muscles of aforementioned foot gave out mid-sprint, sending me rolling into that oh-so-spongy indoor track. No bruises. No breaks.

What does that mean? Time for upgrades! Bought inline skates--end of season for it, though, so too cold and too wet to attempt outdoors.

More time goes by. I start to get that Thanksgiving/Winter Break cabin fever. What does that mean? Time for upgrades! Bought ice skates--hockey skates!! In-season! Cold enough! Wet enough! Perfect, yes?!

So, last night I take them for a test run (post-sharpening, of course) at a large semi-local rink. I fall on my ass twice, but am otherwise doing ok--the other falls I catch with my hands and pass off as pushups. Everyone (no one) believes me. I start learning how to go backwards, but rotation from a moving forward position seems to be eluding me. Two hours later, I've managed to rotate 360º, but not the 180º I need to start going backwards. Oh, well. Need more practice. Still can't do crossovers, but I'm starting to be able to balance on one-skate (for extremely short periods on the now-stronger left ankle). I go home and sleep like a worn out, amazingly sore log. But it's a good sleep.

This morning, I wake up and notice a tweet from 9AM (9AM?!) asking me if I want to take some ice for a test drive. Can I say no to something like that? Hell no! I was already planning to go to a later session with someone else, but I figure if I can do two hours straight, I can do three hours with an hour break in the middle.

We hit the ice. I decide to keep practicing those turns. I rotate, fall on my ass again. No biggie. Determined to keep at it, I have another go. And another. And another. Either I get 360º or I get 180º with unbalanced stoppage. Interesting. About 30 minutes in, I get a 540º, but I'm off balance and still rotating. I manage to recover, only to bend my skate inward just enough to hit 720º. At this point, I'm out of control and flailing. I trip over my own skate (Right? Left? Can't remember at this point...), fall forward, roll over while continuing to slide, and finally, forward motion is halted.


...by my very well-placed jaw and its now intimate relations with the ice. Tooth meets tooth. Myuu meets pain.




...but escapes relatively unharmed!


I now have a giant welt (still solid after 14 hours!) with a few cuts--cleverly concealed--just under the jawline. The rest of the session goes swimmingly, aside from the headache. I even get into the second session free! I learn to almost tie my own skates! I learn to do crossovers! I don't even fall!

My plan, for the moment, is just to tell everyone the ice bit me...

What am I doing tonight? Inline skating~!

 

[sirius08]

Fun story 'bout that.

Myuu, just what exactly do you think you're doing? This is worse than when you tried to stand on a mesh chair while still in your cast.

 

[vc7777]

I hear a story coming!

Right.

Right again. Guess you're going to take over this thread for me. 👍

wow this is the longest interview day I've ever seen. 7:30 AM - 4 PM? 2 hour interviews and a half-hour interview? yikes

Ha, it used to be longer. Back in the day, when _I_ applied, we had a demo of the CCLCM portal, plus the tour was even longer.

I'm actually not exaggerating about the interview day being longer a few years ago. The portal demo was the most painful part. 😱

And if you're not leaving day-of, consider ice skates.😀

EMS also gets discounts at the grocery store. Who knew?

 

[Myuu]

Living my childhood dreams?😏

I hear a story coming!

Not the one you're expecting, Mr. Doom-and-gloom!

Outstanding.


Soooo! Spent two hours on the hardwood this evening. Have gotten top-speed counter-clockwise crossovers down. Nailed 2/029384293482034 180ºs. Jumped once. Backwards crossovers do not compute.

Falls: 0.😎
Wipeouts: 0.😎
Children run over: 0.😎
Bruises: 1. Eh, I was trying to slalom my way to the bench to readjust my ankle straps and bumped the edge of it with my shin at 0.000002mph.

 

[CCLCMer]

Living my childhood dreams?😏

I thought being a doctor was your childhood dream! 😀

Just so you know, if I slip and fall and break my neck at some point this winter, I want to be buried with my sweatshirt. At a discount and preferably for free, of course.

Oh, and thank you for being my friend. 😍
