wonder if they send this to all applicants? X2 << Not to be rude, but isn't all this in our application... << I agree with you 100% haha <<< so have they not even looked at our apps yet? lol << are they even allowed to ask for our class rank? I thought the Dean has to send that x2

Do you think "top grade" means A in general or A+.....? << Depends on what is the equivalent of H. you don't want to stretch the truth incase they look on your app after, but I agree it is hard to fill it out since we all have different grading scales and different cores

hard to fill this out << yeah, this is ridiculous << this supplement seems insanely lazy. Everything is in our MSPE. Also makes it clear they only seem to care about 2 metrics x2

goes to show how silly the whole system is, we are being compared across schools in terms of grades, but each school does it so differently that it shouldn't really be such a big factor in whether we receive interviews or not at any institution. x2

Does anyone know the difference between the Metro Health and the University Hospitals program (both are Case Western)?

<Both are affiliated with Case; Metro is the county hospital, so you tend to see more Spanish-speaking patients, patients on Medicaid, etc; UH is more academic. Also UH is a bigger program (6 per year vs 2-3 per year at Metro); That said, Metro is a very-tight knit group of residents who are very much like a family (cheesy, I know, but true) << Thank you, good summary!!

Realizing I only applied to Metro as I thought the UH was DO only, oops!...anyone else? << Lolll same, thought it was DO

do you think it's worth emailing/explaining and submitting now? << No. I think it's too late.

UH does their interview invites by a point system. So you get points for different things (including class rank, honors, AOA/SSP, publications, what type of journal it was, what number author you were). This is their easy way of creating the points for us. << that sounds terrible

Guys, try it for yourself, if you say something about unethical research, the cell gets deleted. It's a cool magic trick!

There is absolutely no way this Case survey is for research - appears to be a lazy way to make us do their data entry for them to auto-grade our applications

Ew, that's even worse

IM programs go through thousands of applications, and they need to use a survey doc/point system to go through a few hundred? << Pretty frustrating x4
