Oooop, I also didnt get an email but we should know by tomorrow morning

 

[Rising_Sagicorn]

true, it has been an enigma since it was first reported

Was the pattern for the first group the same-- acceptance emails the day before?

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

Did anyone who interviewed in early December get an email?

Yes I interviewed on 12/7 and got the email.

 

[treesarefrends]

interviewed 12/2 and got an email!

 

[sako123]

When did you get the email?

interviewed 12/2 and got an email!

 

[romanjoe]

Interviewed 11/16. No Email

What time did you guys get your email? & the meeting tomorrow is at 11am correct?

 

[sako123]

Anyone interview 11/9 and get an email? Sorry my neurotic premed self is coming out but I am just freaking out this is probably an alt list :/

 

[cinnamontea]

same. I hate how this email conspiracy has proved true over the past decision dates. I'm about to lose full at work

i thought in the past the people who received the email ended up being accepted?

 

[romanjoe]

i thought in the past the people who received the email ended up being accepted?

yes!

 

[Idahomie]

yes!

There were people who were in an alt list zoom meeting, so this has not been true for everyone.

Hopefully, we can get more data points tomorrow so we can figure it out.

does anyone know if people have been accepted without the zoom link invite?

 

[Idahomie]

I'm telling you it's a mystery. This happened last month and in October too. Everyone pops into the thread saying they got the email, and then like 90% of them dip and don't say anything else after that.
My Christmas break starts tomorrow, and I'm bored, so I'm thinking about PMing everyone who has said they received the email invite to the zoom meeting and pestering them until they reply on what goes down in those meetings.

Based on what happened last month I think zoom meeting means acceptance :/ really disappointed since Case is my top choice

It's like watching all of your friends get invited to a party, and you're just sitting there pretending not to notice you didn't get invited.
Then when you see your friends again later they are all quiet and aloof around you. It's like they joined a cult or something at that party. You hardly even know them anymore, but deep down you really want to join the cult too so that you can be cool like your friends. You just want to be in the room where it happens. You yearn to belong.

The only exception here is that it's not a party, it's our future careers. Also, it's not a cult, but a pretty dope med school. Regardless, the feelings are the same; we just want to belong.

We should start an alt list thread so we can commiserate with each other over our misfortunes.

 

[treesarefrends]

When did you get the email?

around noon today

 

[premedguy12]

Do we think no email means an email tomorrow morning for the waitlist zoom meeting?

 

[romanjoe]

Do we think no email means an email tomorrow morning for the waitlist zoom meeting?

that's what I think

 

[katty213]

Just to add a data point - I was invited to a zoom meeting on October 14th and was accepted on October 15th.

 

[lunaflor]

Just to add a data point - I was invited to a zoom meeting on October 14th and was accepted on October 15th.

As another data point, I did NOT receive an email and was waitlisted on 11/19

 

[Isomerase]

Seems like we're due for another Pre-II R wave?

 

[premedguy12]

What did the zoom meeting mean!

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

Did not receive an email yesterday. Just received the WL email. Heartbroken, Case was my #1

 

[idiot_sandwhich]

+1, also heartbroken

 

[GoneDriving]

Got WL as well, but will go ahead and withdraw

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

+1, any idea what WL movement looks like for this school? can't imagine the odds are great since it seems like everyone post-interview is WLed

iApply WL status says that there usually isn't much movement on the WL until after May 1st. It also says they are unable to predict the kind of movement they will see, and that the WL is not ranked by priority. We just have to wait and see :/

 

[laffingdead]

Alt list as well. Interviewed 11/18 no email yesterday

 

[premedguy12]

Waitlisted!

 

[Rising_Sagicorn]

Waitlisted!

+1, no email yesterday

 

[Idahomie]

The people in the zoom calls must be told not to post about their acceptance or comment on the calls. It's too bizarre for this to happen every time coincidentally.

Which in of itself is pretty telling of what it means

 

[ChonkySkyBison]

Accepted! Couldn't make the zoom call because I was at a funeral so I don't know what went on. What a bittersweet day. I'm sorry to hear about those on the WL. I have faith that everyone will end up at the school that is right for them, I don't know much about Case's waitlist but hang on in there.

 

[flutacious]

Pre-II R, complete late July

 

[loosecriminal]

Just got hit w that pre-ii R rip!

 

[definitely_chondria]

MSTP A! 😍 Just wanted to add for my fellow MD/PhD applicants that we aren't included in the zoom meeting thing so no need to worry about that lol. Had me panicking for a sec

 

[definitely_chondria]

Did you receive a call or an email or both? I interviewed in October and was told that decisions (A or defer or R) would be given out today but haven't received anything...

I received both this morning!

 

[Isomerase]

Seems like we're due for another Pre-II R wave?

Pre-II R, complete late July

Yikes I feel responsible

 

[9000ayud0009]

Does waitlist mean no chance at scholarships, even if you get in?

 

[vitafusion]

Does waitlist mean no chance at scholarships, even if you get in?

They’re not giving out merit scholarships this year, only need based aid.

 

[applicanttimes2]

Pre-II R, complete late July

 

[Fawna]

They’re not giving out merit scholarships this year, only need based aid.

Why is that? How do I find this information?

 

[mindstirfry]

How much more expensive do yall think CWRU will be without merit aid? And can we still get merit aid after our first year?

 

[Rising_Sagicorn]

Why is that? How do I find this information?

The admissions team explained that with the effects of the pandemic (people losing jobs), they foresee more people needing need based aid. And @mindstirfry, they havent decided but it could become permanent depending on how this upcoming year goes

 

[GoneDriving]

And can we still get merit aid after our first year?

Can’t imagine that they would have any incentive to

 

[KatsuCurry]

Can any current students or people affiliated with CWRU comment on students negative experiences with the institution's handling of the covid vaccine?

Albeit a small sample size, all 3 Case students who filled out r/medicalschool's survey have a negative view of Case's response to rolling out the vaccine to med students. Furthermore, many of the comments seem to indicate an overall frustration with the lack of transparency and communication with the administration.
