Wait are these the same prompts for the CCLCM program?

 

[Delawarean]

Wait are these the same prompts for the CCLCM program?

This is the CCLCM program (College Program). The other Case Western prompts you may see are for the University Program.

Hi all! Quick question about Cleveland Clinic Secondary "Caregiver Wellness" Question -

Did the font size for this specific essay change (get larger) relative to other essays for y'all too?

Just want to make sure nothing is glitchy on my end... Thanks in advance!!

 

[deleted1135362]

Just FYI to all, the last prompt is 1000 characters, not 2000.

 

[bbypingin]

I believe the "Please tell us about a time you prioritized your own needs" prompt is 2000 though? So second to last one (Question 3).

Hi yes this happened to me too! I pasted my essay into Notepad to make sure the formatting was correct and the font was still bigger in the AMP portal.

 

[Dr.Yikes]

Anyone idea what the Lerner admission email is?

 

[chickenmagnet]

for the diversity and inclusion prompt: are they asking us to talk about our own unique identity and experiences (so the classic diversity essay) or are they asking how we have contributed to diversity in the ~solving discrimination~ essay way

To clarify, if you get interviewed for the college program, is it separate from the university program? Or are you technically being interviewed for both programs?

I got an email from them yesterday saying that they wanted to have a 30-minute phone interview with me before deciding whether or not to invite me for a full interview. Has anyone else had this experience before? Anyone know if it's a good or bad thing?

Hello everyone! do you all received a separate application complete email from CCLCM in addition to the UP? I got mine from UP but nothing from CCLCM. Recently called CCLCM to double-check and they said I was pending application fee (which I had already paid back in July). The status page on my end shows everything to be complete. Just want to know how everyone else's looks like, and did y'all receive confirmation from both UP and CCLCM?

Hi, I got two separate complete emails for each program, around the same time. Both of my portals say complete!

EDIT: just have one portal for the different programs
