For the question
Each year our students target for themselves areas of improvement. Other than the acquisition of new knowledge, what personal area do you think needs strengthening?
do you guys think itd be weird to write about body training...........?
Yes, it would be weird. Unless maybe you mean that you're overweight/out of shape and you're wanting to improve your health? I guess that would be a reasonable answer.
Well I think the question is referencing how their students target areas academically so they reflect and improve the following year. I don't think physical aspects are exactly what they mean but I could be wrong.
Keep in mind though that the question specifically asks for NON ACADEMIC areas that need improvement.
For the small group setting essay, how many people exceeded 1000 characters?.
.
If they want to be invited for interviews, they don't. Following directions counts, guys. The limits are there for a reason.
a few questions
1) I stupidly only clicked to apply to the college track but wanted to apply to both the college and university track. what do i do?
Call the UP admissions office and ask them to add you for a UP app.
2) If i do manage to get it switched, do i have to write the essay unique to the university track? it's really similar to the one required by the college track, so does if you apply to both, do you have to fill out the university track essay?
No, we have extra essays on top of theirs. If you've written all the CCLCM essays, you are set for the UP too.
3) this question might not matter if i am able to add on to the university program, but when i submitted my supplementary app, I already had all my documents in, etc, but it still said my application wasn't complete. Most school that I have applied to update it by the next day etc with a status change on the site and an email. I got neither from Case. I had a fee waiver and never had to click submit payment, so the process kinda ended abruptly. I was wondering if I had to do something else.
Thanks for all the help in advance!
I'd give them 1-2 weeks and then call if you're still not complete.
A topic I will not let die.
What does the 18th or 19th of September look like to everyone?
Myuu, CCLCMer?
Nor should you let it die.
🙂
The 18th would be better for me. I'll be at the hospital all day Sunday and can't predict when I'll get off very precisely.
Plusss:
UP and CP:
I know CP is PBL--do you still get big note packets/syllabi to study from in addition to your PBL stuff? I'd really like to lean more about how the basic sci part of the curriculum works.
No note packets, no syllabi. We do something at CCLCM that is apparently kind of unusual for medical students, which is read textbooks.
😛
Generally what happens is that you choose your own sources for PBL assignments. For seminars, the faculty teaching the seminar will assign you readings, generally from a textbook or sometimes from review articles. If it's a basic science talk, they might also assign you some research articles.
Awesome! I think that's a really neat middle ground between pure lecture and pure PBL.
I agree. The seminars and PBL cases complement each other pretty nicely, IMO.
BTW, you are also invited to the unofficial sept 13th CCLCM/Case skate night if myuu and CCLCMer are still available/get back to me hahaha.
I'm game if Myuu is.
By the way, make sure you have your walking shoes on for Monday. Besides the fact that
CCF is twice the size of the Pentagon, I'm a fast walker. I usually don't give tours actually--I've been accused of death-marching the applicants.
Ok, so seriously, the tour is an hour and 15 minutes long, and the floors are slick. Please, if you're a girl, DON'T WEAR HEELS ON THE TOUR!
does anyone have any stats on how many people interview, how many are accepted, and how many people matriculate?
For CCLCM, last year we had approximately 1500 applications, invited around 300 to interview, and gave out 60ish acceptances to fill the class of 32. Likely this year we will have more than 1500 apps, will invite around 200 to interview, and unknown how many acceptances will go out.
