What was the most difficult question?

Medical school is very difficult. Do you think you can really handle it? The question itself wasn't that hard, but after I explained why I thought I could handle it (I thrive in academically challenging situations, I'm good at prioritizing what is important to me, I have a good support network), he said, "Yeah, great. But do you really think you can handle it? It seemed as though he didn't think I could, which didn't make sense considering my stats and my academic record.

What impressed you positively?

Everything except the interview itself. I love the program. Being matched with a pregnant patient first year is amazing. The elective program is really flexible and open. You can apply to the MPH program after you enroll. Students seem really happy and unstressed. The Dean is AMAZING! He's so excited and happy to have his job. Hmmm... Yeah, everything about the actual school was impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was challenging. He disagreed with me on almost every answer I gave and dismissed a lot of my reasoning. I wasn't prepared for this after hearing how relaxed Case interviews are supposed to be.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I'd known that the Primary Care Track doesn't really exist anymore. I guess Case decided that everyone should be learning the things that PCT taught, so it isn't necessary.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Even though my interview was very stressful, the day was great. The other people in my interview group were sociable, and the students were welcoming. After my bad interview, I thought that I'd blown my chances, but I just received an acceptance letter today, so I guess not! It's possible that the guy I interviewed with just likes to push people to see how they react. Anyway, Case is one of my top two choices (tied with University of Rochester), so I now have to decide which one to go to! It's nice to be in this position.
