What impressed you positively?

The Dean is very visionary and has a clear and positive direction for the medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

While the surrounding hospitals are great, the actual medical school buildings are somewhat out of date. Cleveland seems like it sucks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lots of down time between interviews. Bring a book or take a nap on the couch (as I did).

What are your general comments?

Case is a great school, I think I like Cleveland Clinic even better though. It seems like its a choice between highly self directed learning (CCLCM) or more lecture based material and a more traditional education (Case).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
