How did you prepare for the interview?

I stayed with a current 1st-year student at Case. He told me what to expect. Read SDN, re-read personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are great. The faculty are very student-oriented and friendly. The school spends a lot on its students.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm not a big fan of the city itself. The roads are very confusing. The school is getting more expensive every year.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

My first interview was with the director of admissions for the dental program. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. He started by answering whatever questions I had about the school, then told me the basic outline of the interview he was going to give me. The questions were expected and very straight-forward. The first interview lasted about 45 minutes. The second interviewer showed up late, but we still spent an hour talking. The second interview was very laid-back. It was mostly a conversation. He only asked one or two questions. Overall, they were good interviews. Not too stressful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
