***Official Thread for 2017 BSMD applicants***

Last year these 2 folks (@eclucas98 & @Undecided3494 ) got admitted for CWRU PPSP. Let us see if they can respond and shed some light on the interview format and general info.

Based on @eclucas98 post, PPSP also put students in ‘alternate’ state during offer (after interview). They accepted her from the alternate state. But @stresstasticlife your situation is different since you are in alternate for the interview.


  1. Alternate status doesn’t mean it’s over.

Although rejections of course must be accepted at face value, I took alternate status for just what it was: a chance to prove myself further, to prove myself willing of the time commitment such a prestigious program like PPSP needs in case a spot opened up. I emailed the director of the program expressing my continued interest in the program and he was very receptive to my emails, stating that he noted the strong interest in my file. By the end of the month, I had been accepted into the program! If it's really your dream, pursue it.
