No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, papers on current research, school's website, should've read up on old research

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are unbelievable! Cleveland clinic is such a strong hospital. Go through ~300 surguries/day they said! The cirriculum is very unique and seemed very responsive to the inaugural class

What impressed you negatively?

Possibly how new the program was because it seemed to be still trying to figure out kinks in the system. But the administration seems very responsive and reasonable! Also associated with Case and the Clinic so should be no problem with residency.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Come with tons of questions because the day is jam-packed with information on the school and at the end of day the interviewers ask if you have any questions for them. Also you meet a lot of people on admissions board, so you should try impress most of the time!

What are your general comments?

Extremely conversional!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
