Fair enough - Good luck, and we'll see you when you are in town. 👍
Listened to the good advice I got on the Case thread and took the deferral, too many $$$ to pass it up. Gonna save me 6 figs by the time it's all done. Almost as good as going to CCLCM.....I said almost!😀 Currently looking for a camera so I can take those pics in Europe, "Pics or it didn't happen." 😉 Also looking at SA for a service project, Guyana, maybe Venezuela. Ok, yeah I'll take the camera for that one too!Hey Midfield, how's life? 🙂 We haven't seen you since the last thread. What's up?
Smiling right now as I read this years thread thinking back at how crazy the med school application process made me. What a ride! These candidates are very lucky to have you guys to help them keep the lid on!
Case, definite class act. Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

So... 😏 Where ARE you going now? 😛
Also...indeed! plz plz plz post your adventures on our thread.
how stringent is the "2-week rule"?
Not super stringent. However, to paraphrase Myuu, ability to follow directions is desirable in a medical student. Be reasonable.

For UP. Thanks for your help!
VC: Believe me splitting it up wasnt my first choice. I thought about it for a good day. October was just a bad month with me missing things. I'm an engineering student so im sure you remember how bad it can get when you miss stuff Especially with senior design 
Especially with senior design

I wish case would just invite me for an interview
patience is hard
patience is hard
it will be ok, illinois!
haha thanks i hope so. that pic definitely helps.
did you already hear from cclcm?
oh no. when i said case i meant both CP and UP. haven't heard anything yet.
This thread just seems so out of place on the second page. Had to bump it.
Hey folks. If I applied to Case last year (2011 cycle) on AMCAS, but didn't submit a secondary, should I check the box that I applied previously?
No, you did not receive an admission decision. Therefore, as I understand, you did not finish your application.
When you were complete has almost no bearing on when you are invited to interfview, fyi.
Haha couldn't have said it better myself

Update:
New first year medical student has massive, cast Pirate belt-buckle that has a skull and crossbones on it with a big pirate hat...plus the mouth doubles as a bottle opener...
In summary:
First year CCLCM student? Check
Massive pirate beltbuckle? Check
I'm not a statistician, but that is pretty good prevalence...
Also, sparkling, prancing unicorn T-shirts are in! Designed by a fifth year with over a dozen publications who is applying to neurosurgery. "Work hard, play hard" - I say.

One more question:
Does the e-mail that "strongly encourages" us to fill out the secondary mean anything at all? Anyone who got this e-mail get an interview? Anyone who got it get rejected? Thanks!

You should do what the nice letter tells you.
I plan on it! I just found it a bit odd, considering I got my AMCAS verified last friday. Still, I plan on submitting it this weekend (by tomorrow). I do have heavy research experience, but I am not sure my numbers are good enough. Certainly going to give it a shot.
Numbers aren't everything. Case looks at your big picture. They create a cooperative class that works perfectly in a small-group based learning environment, and as such are looking for more than stats in an application. We look carefully at a lot of people, not just the ones who walk in with spiffy numbers.
ah great! i have that and didn't even realize they provide that info. thanks!
We are pass/fail for the first two years. Feel free to read up on the program on our website, http://casemed.case.edu/admissions/ 🙂
soooo, any good Pho/Thai/Indian places to suggest for when I head to interview?
+1 on superior pho...lemon grass for thai is surprisingly good...High Thai'd is Ok and more convenient...lemme think about this more.

I have had two research experiences that were both very meaningful to me. I chose one of the on my AMCAS to be one of the "meaningful" experiences, but not the other (just because I wanted to expand on other activities that I had done, other than research).
For Case's secondary, I chose to talk about the research that I didn't mark as most meaningful on my AMCAS, but I could honestly spend the entire essay going into the experience and what it meant to me. Does anyone think this is realistic? Or should I talk about both experiences equally (but, in less detail, obviously).
Thank you for all your help. Great thread.

If you feel you can write something meaningful and useful to your application, then by all means do so.
You should still be able to make it, but I like to give myself a whole two hours to work with. It'll probably be fine.
Also, that is an excellent use of David Tennant.
Hmm alright sounds good. Thanks Myu. Its either that or Ill have to skip another day of class for transport back to my college town
How reliable/close is the train to CCLCM? Im stuck between using that and a Taxi to get back
And thank you. I'm on my 3rd watch through of DW.
