How did you prepare for the interview?

Look over everything. Oh yeah, for anyone going on any interview: you don't need a prada suite to impress your interviewer. For the most part, no one even looked at what I was wearing.

What impressed you positively?

The staff, faculty, and students are all so down-to-earth! The med students there are really pampered. The faculty are all ready to help if help is needed.

What impressed you negatively?

They all said that Cleveland is cheap, but it's not that cheap. I was hoping to get by on a $600 budget, but the students say they need about a $1000 per month. It's cheap compared to NY or Cali, but not anywhere else.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are all such great people! I can completely see myself there. Also, they are one of the few schools who has a true pass/fail system--no hidden rankings.

What are your general comments?

We had a great breakfast. All the interviewees started to introduce themselvs and we got along really well. Then, we talked to the Dean and the Assistant Dean, who were both highly intelligent and welcoming. Most of us did not have morning interviews, so we sat in on first and second year classes. Then we had the financial aide session, followed by a catered lunch, during which we were introduced to the brand new curriculum. The whole experience was just so smooth. After lunch, we went on a tour. The hospitals were just amazingly beautiful. They have top notch peds and cardio depts, not to mention cleveland clinic being one of the best hospitals in america. As soon as we came back, I went on my faculty interview. This was the most relaxing interview ever! we just chatted about the school and about how I will fit into the school. Afterwards, I had a student interview, which was in a similar style--very conversational (about 45 min). And that was that. The day was over before I knew it.
