Hahahah I am sure that this was meant to be sent for someone else [emoji23][emoji23] but they never respond to my emails so I hope they fix it
A friend’s PI got an email about scheduling a call on Sunday!

Tell your friend I’m rooting for them. We all know that’s a pretty good sign
Are their stats amazing, asking for me who’s stats are not
I second that, because my stats def ain’t fire, but my writing style is somewhat sexy...so hopefully my activities section and personal statement is enough to gain some attention lol. I’m going on a hope and a prayer at this point lol
I asked and she says her stats are the average for case western so I’m guessing LizzyM 75-78
How was the interview here? Was it stressful or pretty relaxed?
n=1 but I thought it was pretty relaxed and conversational. They asked a few thought provoking questions, but other than that it was fairly normal.
Fairly relaxed, I enjoyed my interviews
Your friend's update about her PI is all I have been thinking about since you told us and my neuroticism is at all time highs 🥲
Dang sorry I shouldn’t have mentioned it 😂

if I get an R from UP does that mean I'm still in the running for CC or was R for both?

You're still considered for CC sicne they are separate programs
Ahhhh well early congrats!
I’m curious, does CCLCM call the PIs of people they’re considering highly/planning to accept? I know someone who got in the program last year but their PI never received a call or anything.

Interviewed in mid Sep so hoping I can hear back in December! They didnt call my PI so dont know what to expect lol
I was under the impression pi call = acceptance, they just want to confirm you aren’t in lab as just the dishwasher

Lol the number for my PI on my primary is just our lab phone. No one picks up if you call it because our physical lab space has been empty since covid happened.....
Yeah no there's probably a good chance that my friend's PI might just not have picked up the phone lol, but I guess they won't make those calls unless a candidate was being highly considered.
MY PI IS GETTING A CALL TODAY AHHHHHHH
Congrats!! Fingers crossed!
I’m stoked for you !!!!!!!!
Anyone know if there’s history on sdn of someone reporting a pi call but no acceptance prior to getting waitlisted? I am beyond stoked rn but don’t want to get my hopes up way too high
Received II today for college program. Complete 11/12.
Good luck to everyone!
Good luck to everyone!
That's so exciting! Congrats! Do you know how far are they scheduled? Hopefully, there might be more dates due to COVID-19 but I'm not holding any breath.
Only date I could schedule was 1/28/20.

🙁 Last year 01/27 was the last available date for interview. I guess there aren't many IIs spots left, if any

My PI said she had not been called as of 12/9 when I last talked with her. Interviewed late October. 3.99/527 for those who will ask.
Do PIs of accepted students always get called?
Do PIs of accepted students always get called?
Bruh how did you get those stats Jesus
But also wanna know the answer to the pi thing and vis versa if pi call always = acceptance

Stats are just a small piece of the picture! Things haven’t gone great for me this cycle but CCLCM is my top choice so I’m really hoping it works out

They won’t call your PI if you have first author pubs/strong evidence of research. They didn’t call two of my friends’ PIs who both got in some cycles ago.
(this is just from word of mouth though, I wouldnt 100% know)
Looking back at past years threads, a few people on the waitlist had their PI called but didn't get an A.
How about for people prior to getting waitlisted? Like from the first round of acceptances
To echo what plsadmitme says, stats are definitely only part of the picture. I do believe they are truly taking a holistic approach. I think that having a demonstrated enthusiasm for research, STRONG letters of support from research supervisors, and clear idea of why exactly you would benefit from this program and how you plan to use this experience going forwards, supersede stats. Of course, I don't think this just applies to CCLCM, I believe it applies to all research-focus schools (this is coming from someone with multiple red flags).
I couldn’t agree more. The fact I even received an II from them given my paper stats made me feel like they really do try to do a holistic approach

@ClevelandClinicStudent Are you able to confirm whether everyone who is going to be accepted has their PI called?

Do they send out Rs during this time as well? Just bracing myself 😬
Me n you both 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I feel like from last years thread WL’s and R’s didn’t come till after the second round of A’s but I could be wrong

99% sure they don't come out first round because I remember them saying on interview day that everyone who doesn't get an A in December gets re-evaluated for 2nd round
Edit: Talking about people who already interviewed, not sure about pre-II decisions

Thank you! You have no idea how badly I hope that this is true and that I won't be the exception to it
