What impressed you positively?

I thought Case was great. I love how receptive the administration is - it really shows how driven the school is to innovate. Very professional presentation.

What impressed you negatively?

It's very expensive. I should underline very. Also, compared to Texas, Cleveland is very cold. I should underline very.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew I'd have to pay to get off the rapid train. That was strange.

What are your general comments?

The whole day was terrific, and unfortunately the more impressed I got with the school, the more nervous I got about my chances. This made my faculty interview a bumbling nightmare. The student interview, on the other hand, was very laid-back. The day was great, the fellow interviewees were awesome, and in the end I came out with a new top choice. Here's to hoping for the best...
