10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

1) read sdn, amcas, my research papers and their website 2) talk to my friend at the school 3) went to my faculty interviewer's personal website - you should definitely do this. i got to ask questions about his research a little bit, and he seemed impressed about how prepared i was :)

What impressed you positively?

small/medium groups. you can take any undergraduate classes for free. i'm thinking about taking some anatomy classes through this. even though, the school building looks old, the hospitals look very nice. as we all know cleveland clinic, university hospital and rainbow babies are great hospitals! cheap living expense. etc

What impressed you negatively?

their new curriculum has not been proven yet since it's been applied for only two years. i'd like to see how well their second year students do on usmle 1.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

alraedy knew most of the stuff.

What are your general comments?

overall very positive. just know that the school is looking for someone who actually wants to attend their med school. case is competing with other top -tier med schools and probably don't want to accept someone who'll also get accepted to harvard because that applicant will probably go to harvard if accepted to both schools. matriculate/acceptance rate is very important to all med schools. they may actually ask you what other schools you are applying. just be yourself and if you really like the school, let them know that you do.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

i think you should talk to the students about what not to do in class. me and others applicants saw
