well...i was in the middle of posting while you were editing, so the posts kept changing. It was like a book that tells a slightly different story every time you read it...you know...a word change here, a character change there...something stephen king might enjoy writing about.

Your bolds are probably being removed because they are doing ctrl-C, hitting reply, then pasting the text in - instead of hitting quote, and removing the quote marks at the top and bottom. If they did that, the bold formating would be preserved without having to do any more work.

CLEVELAND (March 18, 2004) ? Today meant the start of March Madness for college basketball fans. To medical students across the country, however, today was Match Madness.
Marking one of the last hurdles before commencement, March Day is when graduating M.D. students learn where they?ll be spending the next three to seven years of their lives undergoing the additional training necessary to practice and receive board certification. During the year, students have interviewed at hospitals around the country and have listed their preferences as to where they will receive this additional training. On Match Day, they discover how their choices match up with the hospitals at which they have interviewed.
At the Case School of Medicine, students, with their family members and friends, gathered at the Wolstein Research Building and eagerly counted the minutes until noon, when they would be permitted to access the table where the envelopes containing their fates awaited.
As that time approached, Richard D. Aach, M.D., associate dean and director of residency and career planning, told them, ?You did fantastically well, and we?re very, very proud of you. What?s really evident is that you matched outstanding programs that really were your top choices.?
Aach said about one fourth of the 137 students participating in the match this year will be undertaking residencies at University Hospitals of Cleveland or MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland and that, overall, about 40 percent of the class matched to residencies in Ohio and about 25 programs in the same number of states also are represented in the residency programs to be filled by Case medical students.
Ralph I. Horwitz, M.D., medical school dean and university vice president for medical affairs, attending his second consecutive Match Day at Case and his first since leaving Yale to become dean on April 1, 2003, told students, ?In the past year, I have learned that Case medical students are among the best in the country.? Additional proof of that excellence came when the students opened their envelopes to reveal matches to prestigious programs in Cleveland and elsewhere.
Primary care fields remained popular among students around the country, including those in Cleveland. Forty-seven percent of Case students matched in primary care fields. The specialty with the greatest number of matches at Case was internal medicine, with 29 matches (21 percent of the class). Pediatrics was the second most popular specialty among students in Cleveland, with 24 matches (18 percent). Primary care also was represented through six matches to internal medicine/pediatrics residencies and five matches to family medicine programs (four percent each).
As is the case nationally, the specialties of emergency medicine and surgery continued to be increasingly popular among Case students, with nine matches each, and eight students chose ophthalmology residencies.
A run-down of other fields represented in the match at Case, listed alphabetically: anesthesiology, five matches; dermatology, one; neurology, four; obstetrics/gynecology, five; oral and maxillofacial surgery, two; orthopaedic surgery, five; pathology, two; physical medicine and rehabilitation, two; psychiatry, five; radiology - diagnostic, four; radiation oncology, four; transitional, one; and urology, one.

ok, i'm convinced.
Exmike--
Are you thinking about going into optho? also, I wish they'd post the actual match list...it seems from last year that a good number of people match at U of M (my unrequited love...)
I guess no one matched into neurosurg. this year 🙁

i was wondering the same thing. 😱
not only that...it looks like there will only be 7 people in our class total if you include niveknat (because as we all know, everyone is an SDN'er)...good student to faculty ratio at least.
btw...it's snowing here (southeastern ohio) and it's nearly april!! I don't know how i'm gonna handle the cleveland winters 🙁

It's snowing up here in Cleveland right now as well. Yesterday was rainy and not too cold. Today, it's snowing and pretty darn cold.
Last year, we had already had a few warm weekends by now. Still, even after a warm weekend of two, we ussualy get one or two more snow spells.

sure. welcome aboard!
As for me, I'm gonna transcend dental medication
Judd, I'm thinking about purchasing a Condo near school. Are they affordable, relatively new condo's near campus, maybe 2 bedrooms. How much would they be if such condos existed. It seemed from your inital post that the housing near campus is mostly old apartments and houses.

hey exmike,
The closest condos are in Little Italy. As I mentioned in the first post (I think) the area is gentrifying. That means that the condos there are UBER-expensive. In the old schoolhouse (a great building with "interesting" condo spaces) has condos ranging from about 130k to 400k. I looked at a one-bedroom in that building the year before last. They wanted 170k at that time. I think some of the units in the basement were only in the 130k's. The spaces are nice, but the basement is the basement.
The other condos are really townhomes. Starting at 400 (for instance, the GM of the Cleveland Indians lives in one of those.
The rest of the housing in Little Italy is run-down rental.
You probably could not afford any condos in Beechwood, though if you do venture out that far, expect to pay north of 170k for a one to two bedroom.
Your best bet is University Heights, a cute little community between Cleveland Heights and Beechwood in which John Carrol University is located. They have cute little brick colonials (1600-1700 sq) for in the 150k. I'm guessing nice condos can be had in the 130k's. Look on Warrensville Center road near the fairmount traffic circle (the entrance to the University is on that circle as well).
My guess is you'll be priced out of the condos in Shaker heights. That community has three neogothic highrise (8 stories or so) condo buildings RIGHT ON Shaker Square (as picturesque a town square as you have ever seen in the movies, with a huge independant bookstore, organic/healthfood supermarket, and trendy eateries). The buildings are beutiful, but I think many of the condo's inside are in the multiple hundreds of thousands, though I could be wrong about that.
Actually, I see that Shaker has a number of red brick condo buildings with units in the low 100's (say, 125k). So, there are places in shaker to look at.
If you ever come to Cleveland before school starts, let me know. I can show anybody around who wants to.

These would be within biking distance to campus if you have the scratch.

wow, judd, i can definitely use your help if i do decide that case is where i will be next year. thanks in advance 👍
Hey guys (i seem to be the only girl)--here's a link to some apartment listings which seem like they're decent. Look in Little italy and Coventry--i think Tremont's on the west side. Judd may have said this already, but Little Italy's right by school. Coventry can be convenient, too--there are CWRU shuttles that go from school to that area.

thanks for the link hobs!
here's another housing link though the listings are dense and intimidating. the best thing to do is to google the individual real estate agencies and look at their websites.

Jeeze, I go backpacking for 2 weeks and I miss the openning of the official Case thread! Anyway, I'm definately University-program bound, so I guess I'll be seeing y'all in Cleveland in August. I'll be coming from the West Coast, and I'll be scrambling for housing sight-unseen, so thanks, Judd and everyone else for all your info. Also, (and sorry if someone's already mentioned this, I didn't read every post on this thread) if you're looking to get hooked up with a roommate, you can call Mrs. English in the admissions office, and she'll set you up on her informal bulletin board/list of med students looking for roomies.

Wait a minute, exmike - is the "Case intended" group supposed to be more sure about ettending Case or less sure than the "Case Admitted, likely" group.
i was under the impression that "Case Intended" means "i wanna go there, but I have not been admitted yet". I think nate has been admitted and wants to come to university, so wouldn't he be in the "Case Accepted, likely".
Clarify the labels for me.

Judd
maybe i put too many categories up.
Case intended: Accepted and will enroll
The other two contain levels of uncertainty in regards to enrolling, but all are for accepts. I for one am strongly leaning towards case, so while I am not "intended" i am "likely"
We could rejig the categories..

hmm, i assumed it was for people who have already been admitted who are pretty much positive that they'll be attending case. if not, i guess i'd best switch myself to the "accepted, likely" group.
