How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read through Case information, re-read my secondary application.

What impressed you positively?

Just about EVERYTHING. Everyone was so enthusiastic and happy to have us there. It seems like Case really listens to their students and treats them as equals. It's as if all the things they tell you in the brochures are actually TRUE! Also, the hospitals (University and RainbowBabies) are joined to the

What impressed you negatively?

Cleveland, somewhat, but that is to be expected. Also, the facilities were not quite as new as I expected, but it's not a big deal at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I Would have known how long it was going to take me to get there from my hotel, but that is partially my fault!

What are your general comments?

I had a great day at Case. I had never been to Cleveland, so everything I was seeing was brand new to me. Absolutely everyone I met there was so eager to talk to us and share their experiences. Even though Case prepares students to be top notch physicians, they told us that they STILL had time to be normal!! The interviews were very low-stress. The faculty interview was open file and very conversational. Mine was over an hour long. The student interview was a little more informal, but very informative and also conversational. Everyone and everything ran smoothly and on time, and it was a great experience!
