You will not be considered an early applicant at Case. Case starts their interview in mid August and they usually have a backlog of applicants waiting for interview (usually 2.5 months backlog if you receive a interview letter in end of Aug- early Sept). When you submit your application and send it to the school, it will usually take AADSAS about 1 month for the whole proces, so it will be about mid Sept before Case gets your info. I will predict that by the time you get the interview letter and schedule an interview the earliest dates they will have will be in early to mid December. To note, they will start interviews for alternate list in February so if your stats are not what they like, they might just give you an interview for the alternate list instead.


I kind of figured that...although I called Dalsky today, talked to him for quite a while actually, and he said they probably will have to push back interviews because of the AADSAS ordeal...he said if my stuff is there by Oct. 1 I should be good to go...because of this being a somewhat recent decision I didn't have time to go through committee, but my pre-health guy is making an exception and doing it late..Dalsky said thats unheard of and thats really awesome, and I should send him a note explaining that so he can use it in the admissions committee for explaining why I dont' have a committee letter yet..is this good he kind of knows who I am? or do I just look like a problem now?
 
Getting your name known by Mr. Dalsky will not hurt you at all since he is the admission director and his status does carry some weight, especially the positive comment he has given to you. However, when it comes down to it, it is your application score/competitiveness and how you do in the interview is what it counts.

Let me take initiative and come up with approximate dates when we all can finally hang out before school. How does this weekend sound like? Or any other day the following week...?

I'll be out of town chilling in San Francisco from July 16 and coming back on 24th.

Don't be shy and speak up!

oh definitely...thanks so much! along those same lines, once you get into the interview does case kind of consider all things equal at that point, or is it still just a small portion of your overall impression on them (meaning gpa and dat are still a big deal)? and what kind of male/female ratio do they have there? is it 50/50?

You should ask Mr. Dalsky about this. Nobody on SDN knows



and what kind of male/female ratio do they have there? is it 50/50?

In our class '08, there are 21-22 females out of 70. I forgot the exact number. Same ratio in other upper classes also.

This weekend would be fine for me and early next week would work. I'm going to Cabo San Lucas with my wife for a week starting next Wed. I've only met one other DS1 so far and would like to meet some more!

I am up for this weekend too. Does anyone have anything in mind?
 
I move in the 22nd of July. ANy time after that I am game🙂
 
There is a farm that belongs to Case somewhere off Mayfield Rd if you like to grill 🙂 and have a few beers. There is also Jillians (spelled right?) sports bar that about 5 minutes from Case located on Cedar. It's a very nice place with games, bar and excellent kitchen. We might also hit west 6th if you feel like night lounge club atmosphere.

Any other suggestions?

I like the grilling out idea myself. But I would be open to the sports bar as well. Saturday works the best for me.

8pm falls at a bad time for me so I'm not going to be able to make it. But thats cool there will be plenty of other times including the next four years! Have fun ya'll.
 
I am not sure if I can make it since I have another get together to go to at that time. But I will try. I'll give you a call if I can make it...
 
Is anyone still waiting for their Case Signature Loan to be processed? I keep checking salliemae and I get a message telling me they are waiting for the school to confirm the loan or something. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. See you all in a couple of weeks!

Check your briefCase under Financial Aid Award for your Signature Loan status.

https://finaid.case.edu/CWRUfas.aspx?Menu&Office=CWRUfas&Level=0


My loan was approved 2 months ago but SalliMae's site still has the same message " AWAITING INFORMATION " status.
 
Mine still says AWAITING INFORMATION

Hmm, anything sounds good to me. I am not too familiar with Cleveland, where would you wanna go? Does Serge have any recommendations? Anyone else interested hollah!
 
Just wanted to say hi and that I'm moving in as well! Won't be there until late sunday night though. How many of us first year dents do we have hanging around in Cleveland already? Any other planned getogethers during the week before orientation?

I still have to pick up my student card. Everyone get their student cards already?

i havent gotten my id card yet as well. serge has informed me that if you are planning on parking your car on campus, you have to have bought a permit before the first day of orientation. also, so far, i know that me, and maemie (grinningrice) and serge (dds2be) are planning the get together for sunday. most likely serge will know where to get a good bite =) so if you havent yet responded and still wanna do dinner say sunday night. then drop a line.




chang
 
how much IS the parking on campus? I'm guessing we wouldn't be lucky enough to get the underground parking of the dental/med/nursing building? That would be too good to be true...

sorry! can't make sunday for dinner! hope you guys have a good time though. i'll likely still be on the road at that point.

Hey, would it be possible that you could give me a telephone number where I could reach you for dinner? If you could pm that to me it would be great. Thanks!
 
im not sure how much it cost for a parking permit, but i got my ID card today, and the guy that gave it to me reemphasized the need to have booked a reservation for a parking permit, or else there is none left. so if you havent taken care of parking arrangements, do it ASAP. i guess i will meet all you SDNers soon enough, since orientation is about to begin. The ID pass, allows us so far to have access to the gym and library. the dental school access i am informed will begin august 1st. and one more thing, any dental students living at the triangle?
chang
 
There are a few D2s living at the Triangle so I am sure you will find some fellow classmates living there as well. HuyetKiem is one of those that lives in Triangle 1.

yah, i got my id card yesterday - man was it hot out.. not a good day to be taking a id card photo.. heh! did you get the guy that talks SUPER fast? if you're at the triangle, i'm guess that you are pretty satisfied with how close you are to the dental school though.. you wouldn't need parking on campus, would you?

i'm living at the triangle too... trying to get settled! i love the parking though. very convenient!

see you guys at orientation!

Hey, I just wanted to say that it was wonderful meeting everyone. You guys are all so nice and cool. Hope you guys all have a nice weekend before school starts!
 
i just wanna say, thank god i met you SDNERS before i got here. bc it really makes me feel a lot more at ease during orientation and stuff that i already knew some familiar faces. and partying last night with you guys definitely was the best way to start the weekend, before monday comes around.

Thought I would bump up this page. Congrats for those who have gotten into Case, and for those who are looking for housing, I may have the right option for you. I am a first year dental student living at Delta Sigma Delta, the dental fraternity on campus. Its about a 7 minute walk from the dental school, all utlities included(electric, water, gas), free high speed internet, free cable(with free ondemand), and free laundry. Also free parking! The rent currently is 300/month, if interested, please respond to this, or pm me. Thanks!
 
There have been a new update on the policy for Delt house residence....We will not be able to supply everyone with completely furnished rooms. Most of the rooms have a bed available but only a couple have desk or chair. At the current time, we may not be able to supply these additional amenities. The rent is still $300, all inclusive - gas, water, electric, laundary, cable and internet. All other stuff (bed, desk, cabinet)are just luxury items that we may be able to provide (if available) to some of the rooms. However, I would encourage anyone that would be able to bring their bed here to do so, so that we would be able to provide our beds to anyone who can't bring a bed here.

Please PM me or e-mail Josh if you would be able to bring our own bed. Also, if you want to know what items we have currently in your room so I you can figure out what you will need, please contact us as well.

Thanks

Derek
