What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so gung ho about Case's new program. The students really felt like it was better, and I was told that the first batch of students to complete it are doing phenomenal.

What impressed you negatively?

It was a huge pain to get there. Massive amounts of construction. Also, the school is just one large building attached to a teaching hospital. I guess I was expecting a bigger campus, but honestly this was a great school and I have no real complaints.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The admissions team was very helpful, I didn't feel like I needed to know anything. I had read up, but I could tell some of the students were a little shocked by the new style of teaching.

What are your general comments?

Two interviews, one with a 2nd year and one with the Dean of Admissions. Both were amazingly comfortable and very little "attacking" by the interviewers. Discussion was allowed to flow naturally from one topic to the next. My interview with the student was on a stool, which was a bit difficult to do because I was holding a folder and in a suit, so I couldn't really gesticulate as much as I would have liked. Student interview was 30 mins, the deans was scheduled for an hour. As my first interview, I was really appreciative of the atmosphere, and I was very much impressed with Case. Definately consider their new program, its worth a look. My interest level of Case went from a low 1st tier school on my list to competitive with any other school I am interviewing at. I felt a connection, and I think their emphasis on hands on learning and discussion really is the way of the future. Thanks Case!
