Acceptances want to share stats (some of "you people" like to hid them in your MDApps 😛)?

This is making me so excited/nervous. Ughhhh 2 more weeks to hear back!!!
 
Accepted today 🙂 🙂 🙂 Also got the scholarship eligibility message (Not sure how rare this is?)
 
35 ~3.6 Also I got that scholarship eligibility message but then I exited out of the accept offer link and now I can't find it nor did I get to see it. Anyone else experience same thing?

Nope. Not on the status page with the rest of the letters. Maybe it's a glitch now or was a glitch when I saw it the first time.

I think it's this, because it was there right when I confirmed my acceptance. When I clicked on it, it led me to a blank page.

Still so grateful to be accepted!!!
 
Congratulations to everyone who was accepted today. Hope to see you in July!

To those of you on hold, don't panic! A large segment of the class comes from the hold list.

At first I had a "scholarship eligibility" link. but then I clicked on it and there was nothing there. Now I can't find it anymore. thought i had gotten a scholarship 😛. still excited i got in!
 
Is a hold and waitlist the same thing at Case? Or is it a separate category.

Edit: nvm, figured it out. it's different. waitlist is generated in the spring.

Whoever clicked the " Accept Offer " in between 3:00PM and 4:00PM , you guys might not see the acknowledge letter , just post me a msg and I will activate your accept offer button!!!

Many of you have acknowledged while it was in the testing mode , so I had to clear your acknowledgments so that everything went out fresh !!!!
 
Did the Scholarship Eligible letter go out by mistake earlier today? It was on my iApply page then disappeared.

No it was not by mistake. I was in the same situation. Contact the admissions office and they will return it to your iApply status page.
 
So what percent of on hold people ultimately get accepted? I really liked Case, yesterday was horrible (was placed on 3 on-hold lists at 3 different schools post interview). Do I still have a shot, or is it over at this point?
 
🙁🙁🙁🙁 I really really really adore this school in every facet and was super bummed to get put on hold. Can anyone tell me my honest chances of getting in (3.88/37Q)? I felt like the interviews went really well, but I did not send thank you notes until a week after..does this play a large role? (That may sound stupid, but I am just so upset and analyzing everything)

Don't panic! I interviewed last October and was put on hold and subsequently waitlisted. I ended up getting the acceptance call in mid-June. If you really are interested in Case, send in an update letter expressing as much (I sent three). I doubt thank you notes impact their decision--I never sent any. Good luck!

First of all you know that your grades are stellar, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to be validated.
I believe they mentioned during the interview that everyone who received an II was academically worthy of attending Case. Only the interview would affect one's chance of acceptance at that point. Maybe someone with more experience can confirm or clarify.
 
If you don't mind me asking....when were you complete? I'm still waiting on my rejection....I mean decision. 🙁

So if we saw the Scholarship Eligibility link to a blank page after we accepted the offer, this wasn't a glitch? I apologize, I just want to clarify before I call the admissions office...I wouldn't want to sound like I was complaining about scholarships when I was just accepted to such a great school! 🙂

Yes, that's correct and is exactly what happened in my case. The scholarship eligibility letter went away and calling the admissions office brought it back.

I saw it initially too and emailed the office and they said unfortunately they only have a limited number of scholarships and they could not offer me one. Unbelievably grateful for the acceptance, however!!!!

put on hold for cclcm... is this just a slower rejection? 🙁
Click to expand...
No. If you were going to be rejected, you've have gotten a rejection. Hold means that they haven't decided whether to invite you yet, and it can still go either way.

spf15 said:
Would it be worth sending an update letter to a school that I've been put on hold at? Does CCLCM care for update letters or do they find them annoying? I've gotten a publication in press, attended a few conferences, won a best presentation award and a few other things between the time I submitted my AMCAS and now. No grades yet, though, and I'm not even counting on them being too awesome.

Any input from people familiar with CCLCM would be very much appreciated! It's definitely one of my top choices.

Send an update letter if you have something significant to update. It's definitely worth letting them know about the accepted pub and the best presentation award. (Congrats on both, btw.)

I submitted secondary on Oct 1st to the College Track, is that too late?
Click to expand...
If it's before the deadline, then no, it's not too late. Just keep in mind that the earlier you submit, the more interview slots will still be open.

So, I got an interesting but exciting update from CCLCM... They said I was not originally invited for an interview, but they are offering me the opportunity to have a phone interview with two of their most experienced members of the adcom, who would decide if they should invite me or not. Has anyone EVER heard of this happening or what to expect? I'm happy just to not have been rejected yet but I had no idea this was even an option... For what it's worth I was on hold prior to receiving this update and was rejected from UP a few weeks ago.

I have never heard of this before-must be something new they're doing this year. But congrats, and good luck!

Sending or not sending thank you cards plays no role. Even so, you should still send them as a matter of courtesy. I used to write mine on the airplane after each interview.

For the people getting acceptances, are any of those for CP? Or when do CP acceptances go out?
Click to expand...
CCLCM acceptances have not gone out yet. vc7777 can probably give you exact dates, but I wouldn't be looking for any acceptances before December.

Thank you CCLCMer for answering our questions and calming those SDN nerves!

np. I still remember what it's like to have those application anxieties better than you might expect.

Anyway, I can't really answer questions about daily life in med school any more, so the least I can do is give some moral support, right? Kind of weird to realize that I'm getting out of touch with what's happening at CCLCM. I don't know any of the MS1's at all and barely met some of the MS2's when they were interviewing. I'm going to visit Cleveland in a few months though, so that will be fun. vc7777 and Myuu and I have some pho eating to catch up on!
 
I just submitted my secondary two days ago. Is Case one of those schools where if you're late, you're pretty much finished?

at the risk of getting booted from the case thread.... what is pho? (i mean I can google it, but what's the appeal? and if it saves me at all I do genuinely like eggplant, which no one seems to mention anymore ...which means I really need to apply already as I've spent too many years stalking this thread 😛 )

Rejected via email yest, complete around 8/22 and OOS. 🙁
Click to expand...

Did you already interview?
For those who haven't interviewed, are all the spaces on your status page still blank?
Mine doesnt even say "reviewed" "under review" "hold" etc... nothing.

Does this mean I'm silently rejected? That they haven't seen my app yet?
I was complete 8/14
