2018-2019 Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am a bit surprised that we haven't received news about our disposition - we obviously don't know what their process is, but given that acceptances were determined, I really wish we could just know whether we should still think about CCLCM
A previous poster said that CCLCM was planning to release WL and R decisions by Tues, but apparently, AAMC was experiencing a lot of problems on Monday and Tuesday (due to ERAS and the SOAP) that also affected AMCAS, so maybe that's the cause for delay.

interesting point - had no idea. Good luck everyone
 
You all might be super high on the waitlist. Or maybe people already withdrew.
 
When is second look day? Do you think it's for attending that? Mine also got a call/email. Maybe that's why they haven't updated the portals yet?
 
Second look is April 12th weekend. It says it on the accepted page (i i was accepted to cwru so i see it).

Did all of you just get told by your PI's that they were contacted? Were you with your PI's when it happened?
 
My PI also got a call. My brain is telling me this a high WL but my heart wants it to be an A. I am a little confused though because I’m pretty sure they said at the interview they only called for accepted students.
At my interview I believe they said they’d be calling those high in the WL who would be invited to second look
 
Anyone who got accepted in the last 16 have the option to select CCLCM on the choose your medical school thing yet? Also, good luck to everyone waiting to hear, rooting for all of you!
 
I took the decision to withdraw my candidacy. I was accepted to my dream school recently and my heart is there. Good luck everyone who is waiting, you have been a great support system - keep thriving friends!
Congrats I’m so happy for you!! Best of luck, will miss you on this thread!
 
Hi guys, congratulations to those who have already been accepted, and fingers crossed for those still waiting! I so clearly remember being in your shoes 🙂)) I can't wait to meet you all!

I'm currently a third year at CCLCM, going into fourth when you matriculate.

It's probably a little early, but my dear classmate and roommate of 3 years recently got accepted into NIH for her research year, so I plan to start looking for a new female roommate. If anyone is interested in checking out the place during or after Second Look this April, please drop me a message. I can provide more info and will be happy to coordinate with you.

Since I'm rotating right now, Friday would be best to meet/hang/show place, but we can figure out the details. If you got other questions about CCLCM/Cleveland, I'll be happy to answer them too!

Take care and best wishes.
 
Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group specifically for the CCLCM class? The link on the portal had me join one that is the CWRU class of 2023 but I am not sure if there is another one.

Hi ParaBuckeye,

I happened to see your post while scrolling down. Usually a Facebook group is created after the class is more-or-less finalized. For my class, we created a Second Look group, but it was fairly short-lived because we soon got our class proper. You are right that CWRU SOM 2023 is already up.

Hope this helps!
 
Got an alternate list here as well but not sure if my PI was called or not. Will find out from them tomorrow. Not gonna lie, was expecting a rejection so I'm pretty happy with the alternate list.
 
IllI check if my pi was contacted when i see them tomorrow. If my PI wasn't contacted and I was also waitlisted then im guessing the rest of you who had your pi contacted will be invited to second look weekend.
 
If no admissions decision (aka not put on alternate list) is popping up on our portal then that would be a rejection right?
 
Also for anyone wondering, last year wait list movement was reported to have started on April 18th so it seems like after second look people start withdrawing.
 
Alternate listed as well! Does anyone know how many people are typically invited to second look?

Edit: After doing some digging, I noticed @adcom101 said back in 2017 that 5-6 people get SL invites. Is that still the case for this cycle?

@adcom101 how should we interpret PIs being called at this point? Does CCLCM call all waitlist? High waitlist? Or only when you’re going to be accepted?
 
Anyone not get an email? It’s in my portal, so I’m wondering if me accepting it already prevented me from getting the email.
I did not get the email after accepting it on the portal. I did get a confirmation of my waitlist acceptance though.
 
Also an alternate list through email, no call to PI. Has anyone on the alternate list receive a second look invite yet?
 
Dang, I was excited to get on the alternate list but maybe they don't reject anyone post interview anymore? I have been missing my PI every time I go in lately and feel a little awkward emailing/texting to ask if he got a call.
