Yes. See below.
Right. These are the 12 acceptance letters from the December subcommittee meeting, which did not get sent out until last week. Like I said in an earlier post, our admissions office is a bit backlogged at the moment. 😳
Again, no new acceptances will be decided upon before next Tuesday. You won't get an acceptance letter without getting a phone call first. So I guess the answer is yes, if you didn't get a phone call last month, and you do get a letter this week, that wouldn't be a good thing. 🙁
Right. 👍
There aren't really "rounds" for rejection letters. The rejections are not decided at the subcommittee meetings. Those meetings are only to consider people who might be accepted. So rejections are being sent out to applicants who weren't ranked highly enough after a Thursday biweekly meeting review.
I suggest that you wait until you get your financial aid packages. Also, if you can, try to go to both second looks. For me, those were the two things that helped the most with making the decision, even though I wasn't initially all gung-ho about moving to Cleveland either.
they're switching over to p/f with the new curriculum starting next year
This is news to me. Do elaborate.
...and Case is very pro-Gaul.
Excellent: You can take that one to the Bank...Those dweebs over in the UCSD probably have no clue...bleh...mediocre nerds they are! This is where you belong...don't fight it.
Hahaha...as if you have to ask....
My brother even read it in Euskadi - Basque 😎
Myuu is cool like that too...
Yes, here at Case we speak Nerd in many, many languages and cultures...
...In fact...pull a guy straight out of the Amazon forest and he'll I.D. me as a nerd at 20 paces....

Ok...I'll put it up on the Board:
CWRU: 1
UCSD: 0
P.S. We also suffer from less Skin Cancer here...but Vitamin D supplements are annoying...FWIW
My high school French teacher actually had us read Asterix for an assignment. The pro-Gaul comment made me lol literally...and I'm at work >_<
Sorry I have no idea....when did you interview? They mentioned at my interview Jan 4 that they're meeting again this week to do another round of reviews.... >_<
Sorry, guys. 🙁
Ok, so what I was told is that both high hold and hold mean that you're still being considered for acceptance. Whether you are on hold or high hold has to do with your ranking after one of the Thursday meetings.
A lot of people are donating money to organizations like the Red Cross, and some are also volunteering for Medwish.
The school will give you a list of suggested courses you could take.
I'll make sure to fast 12 hours prior to arriving for my "second look"* haha
Yes, that's what it means. I don't know how many people are on hold right now, or even how many people are on high hold versus hold. But if you are on hold, then you are still being considered. The next subcommittee meeting is on Tuesday, and again, approximately ten people will get accepted. Dean Franco will call the accepted people later in the week, like on Thursday or Friday.
Maybe your letter hasn't come yet. As far as I know, everyone is getting some kind of letter (rejection, hold, or high hold).
Case does have a Sim Center, but we mainly have used it for our OSCEs. These are practice Step 2 exams where you see standardized patients. We also used it for our bridge week at the beginning of third year to do things like learn to suture, do venipuncture, etc. There are mannequins like what you're describing at CCF. I was practicing intubating them a few weeks ago as part of a research project I was asked to participate in. Also, when I was on peds, we ran a mock code on a sim child mannequin like what you're describing. As far as I know, though, the med students don't normally use them in a lab per se. At least, we haven't so far.
Yes, it's possible that you could be considered next week. Or in February. Or both.
