Pre II R, complete mid July. Based on numbers, I thought this was one of my best "matches". Just goes to show how unpredictable the process can be (not complaining though!)

Did anyone use a student host? I emailed 6 people two weeks ago and only heard back from one person saying they couldn’t do it. My interview is Wednesday and I’m going to have to give in and get a hotel. I understand that people can’t always host but it’s been complete silence... Anyone have a similar experience?

I had to email like 8 people for Case with follow-up emails for all but eventually got one, good luck!

I used a student host. I emailed 6 people, 2 replied with only one of them saying they could do it. Maybe follow up on some of your emails and email a few new people.

Hi everyone! I have a question about sending in a letter of intent--I thought I'd put the question out here in case anyone had some valuable input! I've interviewed for both the Univeristy Program and College Program (Alternate list at UP and still waiting to hear back from CCLCM). Case is 100% my top choice, and I want to tell them that in a letter of intent. Since the University and College programs have different admissions committees and different curriculums though, I want to tailor my letter of intent to each of them individually. However, since the portals are linked for the two programs, the admissions committees for both programs would get both letters.

What I am trying to decide is, do I send just one letter of intent, to Case as a whole, incorporating both the University and College Programs, or do I write letters individually for each program. I am kind of stuck here, because say by chance I got into both the University and College Programs, I would have to choose one over the other (in my case I would choose CCLCM). Does that mean that I should only write the letter of intent for CCLCM and then just write a letter of interest to the University Program? (Letter of intent being "I will come here if accepted without hesitation" and letter of interest being "I am very interested in attending this school if admitted).

Any advice would be appreciated, and I'm sure some other people are having similar delemmas as well since the UP and CCLCM are distinct, yet both are a part of Case.

Just interviewed here! My understanding is that the two programs are almost like two separate schools. Therefore you can't really send a letter of intent to both, instead just pick one of the two! Also make sure that you are sending it to the right admissions office because they have different

I would say only write one letter to one program (the one you are most interested in)! I only interviewed at UP, but I definitely got the vibe that they are completely separate entities (do not write one letter for both), with even separate admissions staff and processes.

I would say it is best if you wait to see what CCLCM says and then write your letter of intent if you are waitlisted.
 
Got hit with the pre-II R this morning. ORM, LM 72, complete late August. It was a long shot, but I thought I had a chance. Oh well, ya win some ya lose some.

R. But i also sent in a risky secondary and didn’t want to move to Ohio. Goodluck to everyone in the running
 
What is a risky secondary?

I talked about the ending of my friendship with a best friend and my boyfriend breaking up with me . But in the sense to say that my personality had become dichotomous and i has to find my way back. it was very cathartic in hindsight but probably not the best for med schools but I don’t care, I have plenty of IIs

Thank you so much for this advice. Best of luck to you :))

Accepted!!! Interviewed 11/1!!!

An anecdotal source - I recently heard from an M1 that a large chunk of her class (she said half, I figure that is an exaggeration) is from the waitlist, so alt list people don’t lose hope!

The invitation to apply for merit aid is in the offer letter on the portal NOT the email acceptance letter btw! As an aside, does anyone know the typical amount awarded for the merit scholarships?

Not sure what the average amount is, but on my interview day the finaid director said the max they gave out last year was 40k, I believe.
