CWRUSOM/CCLCM Eggplant Potluck 2010, Halloween Style
(CCLCMer, Myuu, vc777777, Iceman, Auriga, a handful of knives and two unwitting eggplants.)
Proof that we can successfully meet in the same exact spot in the space-time continuum successfully at least once in the history of mankind!👍
I just want you all to know that although two eggplants were indeed harmed in order to create the work of art that shown is the above photo, their deaths were not in vain. I made pasta primavera and included the eggplant guts as part of the vegetables on the pasta.
👍
Loved CCLCM, interviews went well, extremely impressed! Hoping for an acceptance in December !!!
It was great to meet you. Good luck!
Excellent work. You are becoming a master at this. And I have to say that I absolutely love that the applicants are starting to compete with the students for the top post.
So I'm in an extremely privileged situation right now. Was accepted to the UP recently...I'm also holding an acceptance from my home state medical school. I'm absolutely in love with Case's curriculum (especially), atmosphere, students, etc. compared to the other school, but I'm having trouble justifying paying 15k+ more per year to attend Case. Assuming I work my behind off to get a decent finaid package...is Case worth the pricetag? Any advice appreciated!
Definitely wait to see your financial aid package before making a decision. Private schools like Case do cost more, but they also have more non-loan aid to dole out. You also have to consider living expenses, because you are going to pay out the nose if you're going to, say, UCSD even though the tuition itself would be less. When you look at everything together, it may not work out to be more expensive to come here.
The other thing I want to say is that under no circumstances should you let anyone guilt you into giving up either acceptance before you're ready to let it go. Of course you shouldn't hold on to acceptances if you know for sure that you won't attend the school. But until you know for sure, you should keep all of the schools that you are seriously considering attending.
"Surgeons at Cleveland Clinic performed 157 lung transplants in 2009, setting an international record for lungs transplanted in a single year. We completed our 840th transplant since the program's inception in 1990."
Come to Cleveland for all your lung needs. 👍
CCLCM students are encouraged to shadow throughout the hospital and scrub in for surgeries. I assume since there is roughly 2 or 3 of these per week, I am sure there are opportunities to observe.
I've never seen a lung transplant, but I did scrub for a liver transplant. It was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen in my life. I highly recommend it.
Regarding your interview, don't get caught up in the statistics of things or you could drive yourself crazy. The important thing at this point is that Case offered you an interview and that means that they have an interest in you as a potential student. The interview day here is all about getting to know you as a person, so just relax and knock it out.
I agree. Plus, one thing that a lot of people wrongly assume is that everyone who interviews has an equal chance of getting in. That's obviously not the case. Some people get post-interview rejections and have no chance of getting in. Some people are super competitive and the school wants them to the point that they offer those people a full scholarship. Depending on where you fall in this continuum, your odds of getting an acceptance are adjusted accordingly.
Is there anything I can do to get off of this interview hold? My iapply says that I will be informed in March if Case decides to interview me.
Is this the sort of thing that they don't review until March (meaning updates won't have an effect) or is it an ongoing review (send in updates)?
You can send updates if you have them, but no, there's nothing in particular that you can do to get off hold. As for whether Case continues to review you before March, the logical conclusion is that they must, because they will continue inviting people all fall/early winter as other people cancel their interviews. So March is going to be the latest you hear, not the earliest.
do I get automatically clinic'd if I use my 3000th post in this thread? 🙂
You get vc7777 and Myuu waiting outside your door ready to take you out.
. They tend to complement the iq cases fairly well most of the time. As to lecture quality, I would say most are good, but as with all lectures some are fantastic and some... Are not. Those that are not are few and far between, however.
