How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read ''Better'' by A. Gawande and ''The End of Medicine'' neither of which go over interviews in the slightest, but I figured both would solid up my understanding of the medical field and how research fits into it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The setup of the school, the flexibility and desire for improvement almost all of the staff had. How close the 4 cooperative hospitals were and how nice the area was. After the train ride, I was a little suspicious.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone had a car, which isnt that bad, but I am used to living in cities where you can get around most of the time without having to deal with a car and parking and all that.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have prepared more questions to ask them, because I was so ''defensive'' when they gave me a chance to ask I had nothing.

Great, I was actually feeling only lukewarm about Case before the interview and afterwards I am positively jazzed. Too bad I won't know any more on my status for weeks.
