What impressed you positively?

The Cleveland Clinic facilities are simply beautiful and I could tell that the administration was very interested in their students succeeding and loving the area.

What impressed you negatively?

Cleveland is pretty boring. I though the Case Western students seemed a bit unhappy with their curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How geographically close the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western programs were to each other.

What are your general comments?

First day was at the Cleveland Clinic and the second day was at Case Western. The Cleveland Clinic staff and students treated us exceptionally well. I would say this was my best interview experience so far. The Case Western experience was a bit less impressive. It felt more like a normal school. Going to med school at the Cleveland Clinic would be like going to school in a hospital, wheras going to school at Case Western would be like going to school at any number of other medical schools...ie sort of like undergrad.
