Hey all! I'll be there in July as well, really looking forward to it! I had been admitted as part of the class of 2012, but had to defer entry until this year. Like the rest of you, I can't wait to get started in July, and I'm crazy about Case! :banana:
 
Hey all,

I was going to fill out some finaid stuff for Case and found this on the iApply website for the University Program. Not sure if it's already been brought up (sorry if that's the case!):

"May 1, 2009 - Multiple Acceptances - We are aware that many students will receive more than one acceptance. We understand that making a final decision is difficult and that many factors enter into the decision-making process. Our office is prepared to be as helpful to you as possible, and we ask that you not hesitate to contact us if we may be of assistance in this regard. For those few individuals who continue to hold more than one acceptance after May 1, we do reserve the right to withdraw our offer of acceptance."

May 1? I thought the universal deadline for holding only 1 acceptance was May 15?

I was wondering this as well. Is it perhaps because Case starts early?
 
AAMC Recommendations for Medical School Admission Officers said:
5. Prior to May 15 of the matriculation year (April 15 for schools whose first day of class is on or before July 30), each school permit ALL applicants (except for EDP applicants) - including those applying to M.D./Ph.D. programs and those to whom merit or other special scholarships have been awarded:

i. A minimum two-week time period for their response to the acceptance offer.

ii.To hold acceptance offers from any other schools without penalty.

6. After May 15 of the matriculation year (April 15 for schools whose first day of class is on or before July 30), each school implement school-specific procedures for accepted applicants who, without adequate explanation, continue to hold one or more places at other schools. These procedures:

a. May require applicants to:

i. Respond to acceptance offers in less than two weeks.

ii. Submit a statement of intent, a deposit, or both.

b. Should recognize the problems of applicants with multiple acceptance offers, applicants who have not yet received an acceptance offer, and applicants who have not yet been informed about financial aid opportunities at schools to which they have been accepted.

c. Should permit accepted applicants to remain on other schools' waiting lists and to withdraw if they later receive an acceptance offer from a preferred school.

So, yeah, it looks like it's because they start early.

So...are there any plans to meet up the Thursday/early morning Friday before 2nd look officially starts?

Unfortunately, my flight's not arriving in Cleveland until Thursday 11:30pm :)mad:). But I was hoping to maybe schedule some apartment tours before checking in at the hotel...anyone care to join?

I get it around 2 on Friday.:(
 
Does anyone know just how helpful the Second Look is for undecided people? Or is it better for people who already know they're going to Case? I've registered but haven't yet booked a flight there yet.. I'm trying to budget some money to make it over, but flights aren't cheap and I am wondering if anyone knows just how important it is to come.

Well, whaddya know? This morning, I get an email saying that Southwest drops their fares by $25 each way so I decided to jump on that. Hopefully it helps me make a final decision.

Sure thing. I'm hoping this SWL helps me make a decision! It's pretty tough but today I'm leaning towards Case. Ask me again this time tomorrow, and I might be leaning elsewhere. ARRRGH.

I'm cross-checking entries on ApartmentRatings and Rent.com along with the housing guide they gave us and it's not looking so good. The towers on campus just cheated me out of $43 through selective withholding of information... next best online-searchable apartment looks like the Waldorf, which half of the posters (a self-selecting and usually negative bunch) hate...:oops:
 
1391 Sheffield in South Euclid - Family Neighborhood about 10 min. from Case and Hospitals....

We have lived in this duplex for the past 4 years and have been able to pay over half of our mortgage while owning a home. We are moving out because we having our 3rd child in July.

Upper Unit earns $550 and lower $850/ month. It depends on where you would live how much you could cut your mortgage! (Not to mention the tax incentives for first time buyers.) Each unit has 2 bedrms/1 bath and large kitchens. Lower has hard wood floors in living rm. and bedrms + new flooring in kitchen and bath. Upper has new carpet through halls and stairwell and new floor in kitchen. Basement is shared and finished w/ extra bathroom. Washer and Dryer (plus appliances for both floors) included. 2 car garage. Large backyard. New roof in 08, newer windows, and drive way. All updates made through year 2012 to be approved as a rental unit in Sout Euclid. Near bus stop and walk to 24hr Giant Eagle, library, stores, and resturants.

We are asking what we owe on the home 145,000. (purchased for almost 20,000 more in 05) We are trying to sell before putting it on the market to save us and the buyer some money!

If you guys say so. I think my talk about money scared off a lot of people.

I still haven't decided where I'm going yet, mostly because I have STILL NOT RECEIVED MY FINANCIAL AID PACKET, but it's very much up in the air.

Myuu said:
Ogod. I... do not photograph particularly well.:laugh:

I left one of me untagged. I would beg all of you kind people not to tag it.:cry:

Haha, I love the use of the crying smiley. I didn't tag myself either, as I'm continuing to remain kind of anonymous for another month or two. However, I did think about tagging the pic with my sdn name. :p
 
I would have tagged myself, but I was only in some of the large crowd shots of the presentation. :rolleyes:
 
i wasnt in any :(. maybe i should take some pictures of myself, and upload them and pretend they were there all along...:idea:
