What impressed you positively?

Everyone is very friendly and relaxed. There is nothing stressful about interviewing here.

What impressed you negatively?

I wasn't crazy about Cleveland, but there is more to a med school than the location.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it wasn't too late to apply to the College Program even though I had only submitted an application to the University program. All I had to do was submit the additional essay to be considered. They stress that they want the right people for the right program and are more concerned with that than deadlines.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed my interview. My interviewer was very nice and relaxed. I got the impression that they are constantly trying to improve their school and involve the students in this process. They are trying to incorporate more public health into the curriculum. Also, they seem to send decisions fairly quick, I got an acceptance letter before I had time to write him a thank you letter.
