2023-2024 Case Western Reserve

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Thank you for answering. How long did you work there? I was accepted for 2024 but am petrified after reading many of the reports of crime in Cleveland. If you study and stay late in the library in the medical school, for instance, is it safe to walk outside in the evening.
I currently go to CWRU for undergrad. From my personal experience throughout these past years I haven't ran into any issues. However, I have heard of things happening around the campus. I think overall it just comes down to being alert and avoiding unsafe areas/walking alone at night like you would in any city. We also have things like Safe Ride which you can book from 6pm-2am (it's like a free Uber restricted to the campus area). Generally you shouldn't run into any problems walking at night on campus but that is another option!

What is the OOS post-II admit rate for Case?
 
Members don't see this ad :)
Is there typically a lot of movement on the alternate list? I know they said you prolly won't hear anything till April, but is there actually a shot of getting an A off the alternate list?
 
Complete 8/5 and haven't heard anything, LM 72

If we haven't heard back from CWRU, are we still in consideration for a decision regarding an interview?

Applied here but I haven't heard back since I submitted secondary Mid July.

I wonder if they screen in order of when you submitted your secondary or if they triage people based on who they think they're most likely to admit.

Does anyone know if calling them would be a bad thing lol? I don't want to annoy them but it has been forever since my application was complete and no II. I feel like they forgot about us...I don't have any significant updates so I don't want to send a letter of update! At this point I think its an R but I still want a confirmation lol

I am in the same boat, but I’m not sure calling is a good idea. I also don’t think they allow updates unless you’ve interviewed or have been invited to. I believe they send interviews into the spring, so there is still hope. Calling might make it seem like you’re impatient. I totally get it tho, and it’s fair to be frustrated!

I know its just soo hard to be patient rn....And I didnt know they didnt accept update letters pre-II because I saw the "email admissions office" button in the portal and I thought I could just send an email lol I guess I will just have to wait:(

I don't believe the session is required at all, but it was a simple medical case that a current student used to illustrate the unique learning system that Case uses. It was fun to meet and talk with other applicants and don't think it had any impact on admissions.

Calling a school to ask where your II is might be one of the most unhinged things a premed could do LMFAO.

submitted late july, no news yet. since case has regular R waves i’m just gonna take this as good news since it means we’re still in the running! (plus from past cycles it seems they continue sending out IIs for a good while)

At least it seems like Case is good at rejecting people they know they won't accept.

A lot more R messages on this thread than I think most other schools. So if you haven't been rejected here, at least good to know you're being considered
