The photo looks like my lab puppy that I got when I was nine years old. She died on February 14 last year, I was with her, broke my heart, my heart is still broken, a great girl, a great yellow lab girl.

Most of the movement will take place after the April 15 commitment date. I know it's hard to wait, but hang in there.

CCLCMer, do you know how they go about rereviewing the hold list? When would be a good idea to send them an update letter/LOI?

Thanks.

awww i volunteer with an organization that rescues and adopts labs - its the most fun you can have at 10am on a Saturday morning.. They are all so sweet. You walk in and there are 20 giant happy dogs that want nothing more in the world than for you to pet them.. 🙂 I've wanted a lab forever and am getting a puppy before med school.

But to add to the actual topic of conversation.. I have been on hold with CCLCM since Dec 23 (Merry Christmas to me!), interviewed Dec 7, sent in a letter of update the first week of January, and am still on hold.. I wasnt expecting to hear anything until April 15..

i don't think i could volunteer at a lab rescue- i'd want to take them all home!
i am in love with my little girl 🙂
you just say her name and her tail thumps!!

i've been on hold at CCLCM since nov.- i'm not expecting any change until april- if at all... i was just curious about everyone else. i know a few people were taken off hold and admitted to the case university program.

i'm so lucky that i'm on hold for both programs! i'd be happy to be accepted to either!!! ahhh- patience.

I thought the commitment date is May 15th??

CCLCM's earlier because they start in July. I think there's some rule that if you start in July, you can make your commitment date earlier.

And Case's deadline is May 1st, not May 15th. However, someone mentioned that they are sometimes willing to extend to the 15th if you contact them and ask. Both Case and CCLCM start in July, I believe.

Iceman, did you send a letter of intent before getting off the hold?

No, I contacted my interviewer and sent in an update also talking about how I'm really interested in Case. I didn't want to commit this early in the process.

 

[dude1344]

just curious, when did you send in your update?

Labs are the best. I definitely will have another yellow lab female someday, after med school. They are so sweet and smart and enthusiastic. Good luck on your admission to CCLCM. I hope you get good news soon.

Thanks.

I'm not totally clear on the details of how this is done. But my understanding is that they have a system to rank each interviewee, and as spots open up, they will contact the people with the highest rankings until the class is finalized. When I asked her about what people could do to improve their chances a while ago, Dean Franco told me that writing a letter of intent isn't necessary. But she did say that you should send updates (new ECs, awards, publications, grades, etc.) for your file if you have them. So presumably updates can help you, and if you have anything like that to send to them, I'd go ahead and send it as soon as you can. to you. 🙂

Don't feel too concerned if you don't hear something exactly on April 15, because the admissions people will need some turnaround time before they start contacting people, and they will also have to contact some of the accepted people who didn't get back to them yet to find out their plans. I think that last year most people who came off hold heard during the last two weeks of April, not right on April 15. Good luck!

Right. We start orientation right after July 4, so our commitment date is a month earlier than most other schools. The UP also starts in early July, so they have an earlier commitment date too like lilold3chordme said.

If any of you are accepted here and think that you might not be able to make your decision by April 15 (maybe you have other second looks, you're waiting on financial aid packages, whatever), contact the CCLCM admissions office and talk to them about it. But please don't just ignore the commitment date, because then the office doesn't know whether to hold your spot or give it to someone else.
