No, only about 30%

 

[missfrizzle]

Is anybody else having trouble with activating their network ID?

Was your network ID And student ID just missing? If so same

 

[missfrizzle]

Yeah mine were missing. I called the help line and she said other people had trouble too; they’re calling the med school registrar to get them to make the accounts.

 

[medicalmusic]

When were you complete?

Complete October 10th... late boi

 

[Dr_Yankee]

So should we just wait to hear back about the student and network IDs? Or should I also call to individually set up my account?

[955897]

Pre II R LM 76.5

 

[missfrizzle]

Did anyone hear back about the IDs yet?

 

[Sagebrush]

Any chance that there are still one or two current CWRU students hanging around here who I may be able to bother with a question or two via PM? I promise to try to avoid taking up too much of your time!

 

[miaminative]

Did anyone hear back about the IDs yet?

not yet

 

[futuredoc.3]

Did anyone hear back about the IDs yet?

The network ID and student ID finally showed up on my portal today (under the Financial Aid tab)

 

[pstomd]

When do you think there will be movement off of the alternate list?

 

[jrmjrm]

App withdrawn post-II. Best of luck to all still in it!

 

[miaminative]

Anyone who was told in their acceptance letter they will be invited to apply for the dean's scholarship in January, have you gotten any information on how to do that?

i havent yet

 

[Sunday11]

i havent yet

I haven’t either...It said sometime in January so hopefully within the next 2 weeks!

 

[pikatyl123]

does anyone have thoughts about sending a letter of interest after interviewing but before getting a decision? Or should a LOI be reserved for if I get waitlisted? I know that for some schools, a LOI is a "soft requirement" for an acceptance - is Case like this?

Nope, I got accepted without sending anything. If you really wanna go here after getting waitlisted then it could help. I don't think their yield is super high and they usually pull from the wait list so that might give them more incentive to pull you off over someone else. I'm just speculating though, i dont rreally know.

Awesome thanks for letting me know! I guess I'll just be patient and play the waiting game, and I'll send a letter if I get waitlisted!

On my interview day they asked us not to send pre decision LOI. But that they will absolutely help if waitlisted

 

[Wasntmi]

The waitlist e-mail made it seem like they don't have much movement, citing numbers range from 13-40 spots, which doesn't seem like too much?
On another note, can anyone speculate as to what a quick waitlist decision means (early december Interview, mid December decision?)

 

[freedoctor17]

Just got the scholarship application email. Has a few short answer questions (100-150 words each) and also has a section asking about other acceptances we are currently considering. It's due March 11th. Won't hear back from a bunch of schools till next month so will probably hold off on doing it until then.

 

[medhope516]

interviewing next week and wondering if it's worth it or if I'm interviewing for the wait list

 

[nostra_damus]

I think the school's yield is pretty low - I would go if I were you

 

[DrRiker]

Just got the scholarship application email. Has a few short answer questions (100-150 words each) and also has a section asking about other acceptances we are currently considering.

What is special about next month?

 

[phillykat96]

Did anyone receive an email stating they would like to hold their application for future review?

+1

Does anyone know how many of these scholarships they award?

 

[YKZ1418]

Pre-II R just now. Thanks for the birthday present Case Western.

 

[freedoctor17]

Not much other than a bunch of schools have pushed their notification dates on acceptances bacl to february.

 

[aceofhearts2618]

Pre-II R

 

[DrRiker]

I was complete in early August but haven’t heard back anything since. Anyone else in the same boat?

Yes

 

[pikatyl123]

For those who have interviewed and heard back: I know they tell us that we will receive a decision within a month. Did you hear right around a month after your interview day, or did you hear back earlier? It's been a few weeks for me now and I'm getting sort of anxious hahah

Depends on your interview day. For me it was almost exactly a month but i had the first interview day after the last decisions were made.

I interviewed on Nov 9 and heard back Nov 30. But like freedoctor17 said, it varies. I think I was in the middle-end of a batch.

 

[gigglybear]

Just got the R - complete 8/22 LM ~70

 

[To Freedom]

Omg yayyyyy Just got Accepted. Really quick turn around. I loved loved Case! My interview was one of my favorites too. I also had a student interviewer lol if that matters.

 

[SullyJDog]

Just got accepted as well! Interviewed beginning of January so I was surprised at the quick turnaround. First acceptance though, so I'm going to celebrate

 

[chick_fil_eyyy]

Accepted ! Props to Case Western for the quick turnaround time on decisions - that was v classy and much appreciated during this stressful time

 

[medhope516]

has anyone been able to delete uploaded documents from the portal? I accidentally uploaded the unfinished copy of my update letter and want to delete and re-upload

 

[sunnysideup220]

Accepted today after interviewing mid-January! OOS, LM 77 (but with a low GPA/ high MCAT). Really happy about this one- felt like the school was a great fit for me on interview day. I also uploaded an update letter/ letter of interest and all my thank-you notes to the portal in between my interview and when they told us the committee would be meeting- not sure if this made any difference in the decision but maybe something to consider for future interviewees!

Does anyone know when second look is? I'm having trouble finding this information online.

Congrats! Second look weekend is April 5th and 6th. This information and more is in the Accepted Central site you should be able to access through the portal.

 

[lp317]

Alternate list today, interviewed 1/14. Super fast turnaround. I know they don't reject many after interviewing, but do we have any idea how many people are on the waitlist? They interview 900-1000, but had over 7,000 applicants this year...

 

[heybatterbatter]

Accepted yesterday! Loved Case, and everyone living in Cleveland seems to really like it. Congrats all!

 

[chick_fil_eyyy]

Quick question: how competitive is the Dean's scholarship?
