2024-2025 Carle-Illinois

[luckycharms15]

Sorry if this is blunt but is anyone else frustrated with how slow Carle is at getting back to people? I feel like the fact that they don't have interviews and didn't even have to select showcase candidates this year means that they should be giving decisions out quicker. I'm especially frustrated because they have one of the earliest start dates on my school list and I want to start planning my summer. Of course I don't know what goes on with their admissions process so I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it feels like it shouldn't take this long compared to what other schools do.

I completely agree with this. I’m not sure why they’re one of my last schools to hear back from when their app was the least amount of content and was submitted so long ago

What's crazy to me is the number of ads I've been getting for Carle over the past few weeks. Not only am I stuck waiting longer than anticipated, but I'm also reminded of it every single day 😭. Every time I open Instagram - Carle ad. Even the caprese sandwich recipe blog post had a Carle ad snuck in yesterday. I realize I'm getting all these probably as a result of my search history, but still, the same ads 2-5 times a day is crazy while we're in limbo. Not sure if its just me 😅

SO REAL I'm glad I'm not the only one. The whole "physician innovator" thing is burned into my brain from all those ads.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the ads are targetted towards the applicants the committee has decided to let in

down for this delusion

 

[heir_of_snakes]

Has anybody heard back today?

 

[GraveOfTheFireflies]

Here and now, I proclaim and abide by a binding vow:
If I get accepted to Carle (no WL), I will
(1) hike to the top of Mt. Fuji & visit Aokigahara Forest in Japan
(2) ask out a crush I have on a date for like, the first time ever
(3) get a tattoo
all three conditions must be met by the end of this summer. If I get the WL/R the vow is invalid.

 

[luckycharms15]

are there only going to be Rs and WLs now?

Current student at Carle - just wanted to throw this out there for those weighing their options. Dean Cohen announced ~ 1 week ago that Carle will be fully accredited soon, just waiting for the official letter from LCME

 

[heir_of_snakes]

Carle’s silence is deafening

 

[heir_of_snakes]

This week has been eerily silence. Did Carle decide to forgo their waitlist and just admit people as spots open up?

 

[luckycharms15]

….more silence

 

[WildWing]

FYI, Carle's accreditation status is now Full:
Accredited U.S. Programs | LCME

When do we think next round of decisions will be?

OOS A this morning! Is there an admitted student chat?

 

[Lucky Penguin]

Is the CTE deadline 5/15? This seems very early compared to other schools’.

Congrats! There's a groupme that a Carle student should email you the link for at some point!

 

[belugaa]

Yes the CTE is 5/15 which is super early... I know a lot of students who are on a significant number of waitlists who are pretty unhappy about the CTE date

Hey y'all, current M1 wanting to share housing info. My roommate and I (1 M 1 F with 4 cats total) are looking for 1-2 more roommates in a 4B/3b house. If you're sure about coming here, shoot me a message!

Hello all, current M1 here. My roommate and I are looking to sublease our spots in our house to 2 incoming M1s! We currently live in a 4-bedroom 2-bathroom house with one male and one female roommate. Our house is also very close to the medical school (15 minute walk, 5 minute bike ride, or 5 minute drive). If you are committed to Carle and are looking for housing, feel free to shoot me a message!

 

[adequatetorus]

Still haven’t heard back. Did they forget about us? I know they don’t accept updates or anything but am wondering at what point I reach out to them

Was this not funny to anyone

I feel insulted when my jokes don't get attention

 

[notdanr]

Withdrew my acceptance. This program seems fantastic and truly unique, but it isn't the best fit for me. The match list is crazy good. Best of luck to those on the waitlist!

 

[ZippyLang]

Just checked my portal and there was an update but no email. Got the R after waiting for an insane amount time for no good reason imho. I submitted my application the first week of July, it's been enough time for a baby to come to full term. No interviews makes it even worse as people still hold onto the hope of something coming out of our waiting, even though that should make the admissions decisions come much faster than other schools honestly.

I hope Carle can become a bit more transparent about their process in the future. I know a lot of people feel like they really connect with the school's mission and it sucks to be stringed along for basically the entirety of the cycle for nothing in the end.
