Case 2014 PPSP Hopefuls!

<p>yea…i got a big white envelope with a see through part showing my letter to case undergrad. Behind that letter was my ppsp notification. Behind that was a purple sheet with more information regarding the ppsp interview. behind that was a folder with general information about case</p>

<p>Hmm…I just received the letter today.</p>

<p>Got the paper saying I was admitted and received the Trustee Scholarship.</p>

<p>But, it said that PPSP finalists will be contacted the first week in February. So who knows…</p>

<p>I was admitted and received the Trustee’s Scholarship as well and was named a finalist for PPSP medicine. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Some people who applied from my school also said that their admit packet stated that finalists would be contacted the first week of Feb. so idk what that means…</p>

<p>admitted and received Trustee’s Scholarship and finalist for PPSP medicine. registered for interview with first choice 3/19 and second choice 3/18. i looked at how other people answered the interview registration. including me, 28 have registered for ppsp medicine interviews already. anyone know how many are finally accepted into the program?</p>

<p>I have a bad feeling that those who got “contacted in the first week in Feb” are rejected already since so many people have gotten interviews.</p>

<p>oh crap…
i just got admssion package today!!!
but mine didnt have any paper about ppsp
(i’m applying to dental program…oh crap…)
omg…omg…</p>

<p>i was out of town this weekend, so i just got home and got my ppsp invite. :slight_smile: at the moment, there are 55 people signed up: 42 for medicine, 8 for dentistry, and 5 for law.</p>

<p>How do you guys know the numbers of people who registered for interviews?</p>

<p>after you register, you can choose to ‘view previous replies’ and it shows you some basic information about who has RSVP’ed.</p>

<p>Does anyone mind posting their stats? I just want to see if I have a chance.</p>

<p>Received the reject letter for PPSP. I am really very sad</p>

<p>i also got rejected without interview from ppsp but i got the provost’s scholarship with my case acceptance</p>

<p>^Anyone know when regular decisions (for us mortals who missed the Nov. 1st deadline and applied more toward the end of the month) will be released?</p>

<p>I hope the answer is NOT April 1st!!!</p>

<p>@OHKID: It’s probably a little before April 1st.</p>

<p>Also, does this mean that nearly everyone who didn’t get a PPSP finalist notification in their acceptance packet didn’t make it? That seems strange…</p>

<p>I applied for PPSP (med), but I haven’t received anything from the university yet, regarding acceptance into the program or not or even acceptance into the university itself. Am I like the only one?</p>

<p>anyone know how many people in total got interviews?</p>

<p>Do any of you know what is the required GPA for students already enrolled in PPSP-medicine to stay in the program?</p>

<p>mamatata: The website says you have to maintain a “B+” standard. So that’s maybe around 3.6?</p>

<p>I’m a PPSP med finalist and got the Trustee’s scholarship. I have a few questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>How many people do they accept into the program every year? I know it’s ridiculously competitive, but does anyone have numbers?</p></li>
<li><p>Is the Trustee’s scholarship for one year or all four? </p></li>
<li><p>If you receive other scholarships (like from your high school), does Case lower its contribution, or do you get the scholarship money in addition to Case’s aid? </p></li>
</ol>

<p>If anyone could answer any of these questions, I’d greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Trustee scholarship, it should have info on your letter, but I have one too and mine is for all four years (I think some of them are for 3 because they give some scholarships out to current freshman, but that’s not realy what you’re asking about).</p>

<p>The Trustee scholarship is based on merit and therefore does not depend on external scholarships (I think they’d probably lower it if you were going to end up making money). </p>

<p>As far as financial aid is concerned, I believe it is common practice for schools to take into account external scholarships. However, if you receieved a FA package with some loans, grants and work study I am not sure which part your external scholarship would affect (I mean if they have you the same amount in grants and just less in loans that would be fantastic, but I realy have no idea).</p>

<p>But call and check with admissions and FA about these questions.</p>

<p>Hi, I’m a senior from Hawaii and got an acceptance mail from case,</p>

<p>for ppsp dentistry, but i got an interview date on mar 18th.</p>

<p>does anyone know how the interview proceeds?</p>

<p>just wanna prepare for it, so like what kinda stuff they interview on?</p>
