SDN, interview book, practice interviews with my girlfriend.

What impressed you positively?

1) Case Western sits in the affluent Cleveland Heights. 2) the M1's that I sat next to during lecture was funny.

What impressed you negatively?

actual facilities where they work and study is dingy and windowless.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

their anatomy program is weak (how is this possible in a medical school?), found out from my host and it was alluded to by the director of admissions and one of the Q and A students.

What are your general comments?

the interview was relaxed, she mostly just picked experiences from my AMCAS. the student interview was 30 min long and supposedly is important, but they're students, so it was also relaxed. met a 4th year on my flight back-told me some interesting details of how Case isn't a student-centered program, the gaps in the new curriculum, the faculty feeling disenfranchised, made me think a little bit.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
