I applied last year and I initially filled out a very long answer. I checked later on and they had put a 3500 character limit a few weeks after I submitted though, so I would try to stick within that.
Does the clinical trial have any connection at all with your past research experiences? I think first half going brief into past research (I'm assuming more basic science-related), then connecting to your current research cause you wanted to better understand the human condition/disease could be a good way of going about it.
That kind of what I ended up doing, although I kept the discussion of past research fairly basic, and basically just talked about it in the justification for the hypothesis and methods of our current study... I might go add a little more about the results from previous research but I'm basically at the character count and honestly a little burnt out from all the CCLCM essays lol
That sounds good using the previous research findings to inform your motivations to conduct your current project! Also I feel...pre-writing really did not work out for CCLCM LOL...
Yeah, I think that this is tricky. I worked on a big bioinformatic project that had a pretty murky hypothesis because it was much more of a general research question than a specific investigation. I did still list the most specific hypothesis that I could because they were so direct about wanting a hypothesis.
Yes, CCLCM accepts international students (as well as DACA), and there are on average 2-3 international students in the class each year. Not sure about the accuracy of MSAR data or if it includes Canadians as "international", but I personally know of ~10 international students currently at CCLCM, so that data seems suspect. Additionally, I have heard of international students getting married and having their visa status change during the course of medical school (helps for residency applications), so I'm not sure if this affects MSAR data.
Last year it was beginning of September but that was a delayed cycle. I’d suspect the next couple weeks if everything in the process has adjusted back.
Check the Case Western thread. There was someone who worked in the admissions office that answered the question but I can't remember what they said or if it was this years or last years
I'm sure they look at everything. After all, they are making an entirely independent admission decision, similar to MD/PhD at other schools. It's not like they are only admitting you to a program, and only after you are admitted to CWRU. I don't think they would want to limit themselves to making an admission decision based on just their program specific essays.
It does not.
Memes aside, yes.
it was really just a joke
Oh I know. But so was my straight-man response.
+1 lol
complete in july, received an interview for the University program though.
R today, complete 7/23
Congrats!! I was able to access the calendar just by clicking on the "Interview - CCLCM" Tab. However, the calendar didn't immediately populate when I was trying to schedule my University Program interview. It seemed to just resolve itself after I clicked through every sub-tab then clicked back on the main interview tab...
Whatever was wrong, that worked! I clicked through the entire portal and the calendar finally showed up. Thanks for the help! Good luck with your interview!
You too friend!!
I believe the information they gave us last year was between 250 and 300
Are you a student at CCLCM?
Yep!
