For people that have sent in updates through the portal-can you see old ones or are they hidden? Wondering if my updates didn't go through...

Hey! So if you got the "Upload Successful" prompt on the page then you are absolutely fine. Unfortunately there is no place to see that it is received but the admission's committee on the phone will tell you that as long as you get the "upload successful" prompt they received it!
 
After a hella stressful and silent cycle, I finally got an ACCEPTANCE of the CCL YESTERDAY!!!! I am so happy because I was literally planning on re-applying and I already started re-writing my personal statement. Just don't give up hope dudes!
For reference:
Complete: 8/31
II: 3/2
CCL letter (snail mail): 4/12
Acceptance email: 4/29

Congrats! I'm jealous/ anxious, but glad for you!
 
Do you think a lot of people have been accepted off ccl already and being silent or is there going to be more on Monday?

Seriously congrats! I can only imagine what it must have felt like waiting and re-applying. I'm actually right there with you. Right now, I'm gearing up for an MCAT re-take on the 6th and scrambling to get my materials ready to reapply this cycle. Like the others on this thread I'm waiting for the final decision on the 9th but I'm so thankful for this whole process and even this forum. There is power and comfort in knowing you're not alone. I'm so ridiculously happy for you and I don't even know you, because we all have to go through this trying process that seemingly doesn't end.

For everyone else, I believe in all of you too. It may mean nothing from a stranger on an internet forum. But we have gone up, over, and through our own mountains to get to this point of applying. If it doesn't work out this time around, well dig in and hold on tight because I'm certain with time you will make it. I'm going to check out of the forum for a bit so I can prep for this MCAT, but on May 9th I'm going to return to congratulate whomever made it into the school whether or not I get in. Because no one individual deserves a spot more than another. We didn't sign up for a process to have it easy. We've got this! Just trying to share some positivity while we wait. Much love.

Here's the song I'll be jamming out to and hope it can be some solace for some of you as well:

For the people who've gotten in off the CCL, were you guys St. Luke's or main campus? And did you write update letters?
 
I got accepted for St. Lukes campus off of CCL but had to withdraw. They had wonderful staff and I hope one of you guys get the acceptance!
 
Just got accepted for St. Lukes off the CCL. Kinda surprising, considering I already started my 2017 app. Does anyone know the FB group to find roommates and other students?

Accepted today as well! Interviewed in mid-March. I will probably be withdrawing this acceptance, though.

Good luck to those still waiting!

Congrats, very jealous! This all makes me scared that Monday's decisions will be rejections 🙁 Did you guys receive the decisions will be released Monday 5/9 email?

Congrats! As a fellow St.Luke's CCLer, did you send any updates/LOIs since being waitlisted?

Yeah, I got that email, but I guess they decided to send us the decision earlier.
 
So I'm on the CCL and I'm in a difficult situation. I need some of your guys' opinion on something. Would it be okay if I can PM someone on here. Thanks a lot!
 
I'm assuming all those juicy 3/24 acceptances will be coming out tomorrow

It didn't really say whether it was St. Luke's or the main campus, but I interviewed at the main campus. And I wrote a letter of intent after the interview 🙂

Congrats!! BTW where in the email did it say your clinical campus assignment? Mine just said "we'll make every effort to honor your priority."
 
I'm on the CCL and I'm curious if I will hear a decision regardless if I get in or don't?
 
I'm convinced that Monday decisions will be all CCL.....does anyone know if the wait list is ranked?
 
There have been barely any acceptances since March. Little waitlist movement.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910AT using SDN mobile

Yes, I believe that it is ranked. They'll start to consider applicants on a case-by-case basis later in the summer though. I'm on the CCL right now, not a fun place to be in.

Did you call them? Do you know if they are open to telling us where we are on the ranking?

Thanks!

No they told us all of this in the CCL letter. Our ranks are confidential so they won't tell us. Basically you can be taken off the CCL anytime between now and the start of school. As it gets closer to the start of school, that's when they'll accept people on a case-by-case basis. If you guys do make the CCL, be sure to send a Letter of Intent. You never know what will happen. Best of luck to everyone!

If they don't take you off the CCL will they inform you?
