2019-2020 Case Western Reserve

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Rejected, complete 7/17. Too bad, but good to know I guess.
 
complete 7/9; radio silence...
Complete around same time. Getting nervous as I was rejected pre-II last time. I'm hoping having gone here for grad school will help in getting an II as this is a top choice!
 
For those of your concerned about radio silence- I know two students at Case and both were complete in early July. Both did not get IIs from Case until December and later got accepted. Case's cycle truly goes long so do not be concerned about silence, especially since people have started receiving rejections!

I honestly hope this is true for many other schools...
 
Most schools won’t start kicking up speed until September. That is now, so we should expect more now.

Hope so...DAY 3 OF SEPTEMBER BUSINESS DAYS GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 3!!!

I got 2 II in July, 2 in August, and I have already gotten 2 in September so either I have already met my quota for September or things are picking up lol

4 in July but only one in August and am 0 for September so far...
Ive given up trying to make predictions...
 
Pun intended?

Righteous, thank you! I haven't gotten the R from either yet, but that is encouraging. Case was kinda just a "Why not" being that CCLCM was my target....so that makes it to be able to still relax if I get an R.

HA actually no! didn't see that pun hidden in there.🤣

You have very solid interviews so far so I'm hopeful one is coming your way!
 
Omg more R's were sent out... I thought I would get to breathe easy today...the anxiety continues

Pre-II R, had personal ties to this school as well. Didn't expect to hear any news so soon, let alone news like this.

Edit: Before anyone asks, complete 8/6, submitted within 8 days of receiving the secondary

Anyone know why some people are getting ghosted? Say you are an, IDK, 3.65/520+ applicant either with stellar ECs or a PhD...why would they not have heard from Case yet? Anyone know how Case sorts their shizz?

No idea tbh I would just be glad you haven't received an R yet. But also your GPA for them is a little low, everything else is great!
For me my MCAT is low, but I got my Master's from them so I'm just not gonna complain that I haven't heard anything yet. I take the silence as good news rather than bad cause I don't want an R so I'm still in the running you know...

It’s super difficult to predict how schools are prioritizing applicants, but I agree that you shouldn’t worry since you’re still in the running since no R and you have other amazing interviews!

My PS fit very well with CCLCM’s mission so they may be first going after applicants that seemed to show this? It’s hard to say but I think you will be fine since you do have great ECs and stats!

Thanks! Yah, I guess you are right. No worth stressing over it as silence means in the running.

On that note, for CCLCM, my application is not research emphasized save for 3 research entries one of which is an MM (no research or love of science in PS). I think I killed the secondary, but will CCLCM still give love to someone who isn’t fragrantly a die-hard physician scientist prospect?

It’s hard to say! I just know from last years CCLCM thread that the student interviewers will really try to find out your goals in the interview and find people that are truly dedicated to finding future physician scientists rather than people that want to go there for the free tuition. I think with your research entries it definitely will at least give you a chance, and if offered the chance to interview they would want to learn more about your goals with the program!

Gotcha. That makes sense. My future goals are definitely 60% clinical, 40% academics so I think I can speak of that 40% academics well enough if the II comes. Thanks!
 
No school can give any decision before Oct. 15 unless you're an EDP applicant
That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure because on top of that website info, they specifically emailed that they would let us know within the month even though I interviewed 8/30.
 
Any news from August-complete people?
