How did you prepare for the interview?

Case website

What impressed you positively?

It's affiliated with some amazing hospitals.

What impressed you negatively?

Cleveland. Reading previous comments, I wasn't expecting much of Cleveland, but it was a lot worse than I expected. Urban decay, seemingly high levels of poverty and crime. I'm sure there are gentrified pockets, but I didn't see them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everything was more or less as I expected...except how run down much of Cleveland is.

What are your general comments?

Easy going. Faculty interview is open file. Student interview is closed file and informal (conducted at the cafeteria). Much of the day is unorganized, so it's sitting around and sort of boring.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
