Cerebellum lets you review data from both the current recruitment season and any past seasons in which your program used Thalamus or Cortex.

3. Select the section name from the list. The page will scroll directly to that section.

5. Applying filters

Each report section in Cerebellum has its own set of filters. Filters help you narrow down the data being displayed.

How filters work:

• Filters applied across two different categories use AND logic. For example, filtering by both Medical School and Self Identification will show only applicants matching both.

• Filters applied within the same category use OR logic. For example, selecting two medical schools will show applicants from either school.

• Filters are section-specific. For example, filters applied in Program Summary Statistics do not carry over to other sections.
