We shall get at the top snipers playing for the numerically important 1500 top! 
Go downtown and go to the pier. Both are neat things to see. There are several places that get really lively at night - like w 6th st and others, but you can still take a look at them during the day. If you are reaaaaaaaally eager to look around a lot, rent a car. Otherwise, get a bus schedule, and check it out. Some people say the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is amazing, I haven't been yet. But it's not going to be what draws you to come to school here 😉
Congrats guys!!! A round of MC Hammer monkeys for you, on the house!
CONGRATS! Let me know what day so I can spontaneously drop in on the interviewees 😉
My faculty interviewer talked a lot also. I think he was watching my reactions and how I interacted with him. That might just be his methodology.
Aww sorry to hear that! Good luck on your other interviews! 👍
ummmm....Auriga - doing some catching up on the forums are we?
I was away so lonnnnnnng I have to make up for ittttttt.
Your call.
Sending them an update will show continued interest on your part. I am not sure what more you expect to achieve from a letter than that?
The difference is really just semantics between letters of "intention" and "interest". Yes, the intention letters are worded stronger and will say you promise to attend if accepted - but there is nothing binding about a letter of intent. There is also no standardize process for such letters at any school that I am aware of.
Anyway, these types of letters are only useful when you are waitlisted AFTER an interview. This is when the adcom needs to start ranking the waitlist.
So any letter you send now will be an "update." As obvious as it sounds, I think the majority of people are interested in the schools they apply to. That is, your interest is implicit in your application. So I am not sure what any other kind of letter at this point will do for you? You did your best on your essays when you submitted your application. They know you are interested. Send an update if you want, but writing a "letter of interest" is not my advice to you at this point.
In your case, all you can do is update your application if there is reason to update. The act of updating means you have CONTINUED interest in CWRU.
Your call.
Once again, your application has been submitted. It's sort of "out of your hands". You have been on this thread enough to know that people have been getting rejected - so at least take some comfort in your continued consideration.
Not sent from my cell phone 😏
Quoted for truth. Both routes lead to M.D. The question to ask yourself is: HOW do you want to GET there? That's why I picked Case. There wasn't any question for me in that. And like Biochem, I am so glad I did. I can't imagine myself anywhere else. But it's an individual thing.Congrats on the acceptance
Remember that med school is 4 years of your life and if you are not happy with your surroundings/curriculum, those 4 years are going to seem like a really long time. $60k is certainly a lot of money, but if you are unhappy then it is unlikely that you will be able to perform to your abilities. If you are at a school that you like and entering a field that you love, you will work off that additional debt without a problem.
Everyone has different things that they look for in a medical school, factors that are uniquely important to that person. When I chose to come to Case I "went with my gut (heart) feeling", not my wallet. I could have gone to schools that were cheaper and schools that were more expensive, but in the end I came to Case and I am so happy that I did. To be blunt; I love where I am, who I'm around, and what I'm doing, plain and simple
Congrats on the acceptance
Regarding choosing a school: it is a very underrated-ly difficult part of the med school application process. The short answer to your question is that there is no answer that someone else can provide.
You have clearly worked hard to be in the position that you are in now, so you should take some serious time to make your decision. Try making a list of the pros and cons of each school and see if that helps. While money is clearly an important factor (15k/yr x 4yrs), it should not be the defining factor. What is it about each school that draws you there?

In summary, my suggestion is that you sit on your acceptances for awhile and really think about your motivations for each school. Talk to students at each school and find out what they do and don't like about their schools. And finally, attend the "second look weekends" for each school in the spring. Not to over-hype it, but Case's Second Look was convinced me to come to Case.
wow...
Rockaction! Welcome back 😀 and btw WHO ARE YOU? o_0 I probably sit next to you every day but have no clue. pm?
