Members don't see this ad.

Will we hear back about acceptances this week?

hope so! this wait is just kinda unreal 🙁

 

[Xenith]

Yea... They are super late this year In comparison to last year. Seems like they will have a large batch for end November onwards.

 

[spr1nkles]

Is it a bad idea to call Admissions and ask when we will hear back??

 

[Xenith]

No harm in trying

 

[NotWayneBrady]

Except they're probably already enormously busy, and knowing when you'll find out won't change when you'll find out.

Please do... my bf interviewed here over a month ago and it's so stressful being around someone who is stressed out waiting for a decision! Please Case, think of the significant others!

 

[gublagu3]

Just got a hold for future consideration. Does anyone know how many people make it from the hold to alternate list and how many people get accepted from that?

 

[evansh]

I got post-II hold as well. No email, just a portal change.

 

[Xenith]

Uhoh looks like the acceptances will come tomorrow

 

[spr1nkles]

When did you interview??

Accepted too! Anyone know how the scholarship process works?

They told us that for scholarships an application would be sent out later (my guess is February) that we would then fill out. It is invitation only from what I understand.

 

[whateverisgtb2020]

Accepted! I'm so glad I finally heard back, since I interviewed way back on 11/30.

Congrats to those accepted. Feel a bit disappointed to get post-II hold. 🙁

Same boat here, my friend. Do you understand the deal with the alternate list? Is it essentially a waitlist?

I just check the 2014-2015 thread, it seems the alternate list will be made around mid April, but not all got hold will be put on the alternate list, some will be rejected.

Somehow I completed missed that Case had a biochemistry requirement. I've already been accepted and it's in my top 3. Anyone have any luck getting a waiver for biochem? I had planned to take biochem but had to drop it this semester because of a schedule change and work. My 2nd Semester orgo course had a heavy biochem component at the end and my 2nd semester bio class also covered metabolism pretty intensively.

I am also wondering this same thing...

 

[Lannister]

Just sent in my update letter/letter of intent! The next few months of waiting are going to be torturous.

Thank you 😀 Tbh I'm starting to get pretty disheartened about my chances, but I'll try to stay positive!

Anyone care to comment on their interview here? I'm up next week and just wanting to get some general ideas as to how it is at CWRU (University Track)

Be sure to sit in on a small group session if your interview schedule allows for it. It's a really great look at how things will be if you do end up at Case.

 

[virchow?]

Rejected pre-II this morning... Good luck to y'all still in the running. 🙂

Anyone going to Second Look Weekend?

 

[NotWayneBrady]

Anyone going to Second Look Weekend?

<- Your boy.

Do you have any information on accommodation for the weekend (i.e. do we have to find our own?).

 

[p0gono]

Weird question, but I wonder how does CCLCM get reported into AMCAS? I assume since there is one primary, the two tracks get lumped together in the MSAR, multiple acceptance report, etc. is that safe to assume?

Did anybody find out anymore information regarding this?

 

[Xenith]

Does anyone know when second look is?

Edit: nvmd, I see what you're saying now; my answer wouldn't have made sense. 🙂

Interviewed mid December, heard via email and on iApply

 

[Lannister]

Has anyone else sent in a post-interview update? I didn't get any kind of response when I sent in mine so I'm wondering if they got it.

I'm sure you'll hear back. I wouldn't be surprised if admissions is a little back logged right now.

 

[Lannister]

Yeah I was just wondering if it was normal not to hear back.

 

[drjosephtribiani]

I heard back right after sending one in, but don't panic. Maybe send a second email? Showing more interest in the school can't hurt.

Ah okay, in that case I will definitely send another email asking if they got the first one.
