Secondary prompts are up for your immediate consumption. Please note: If you are applying to both the Cleveland Clinic Learner College of Medicine ("College Program", "CP") and the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine ("University Program", "UP"), you'll need to do the essays for both. Also, if you initially apply to one and then decide to add another at a later date, remember to resubmit your application. Otherwise, it will be viewed as incomplete.
