8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read application, essays, SDN, arrived a day early to check out the area

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Variety of clinical opportunities (University Hospital, Rainbow Babies, Cleveland Clinic, etc.), museums and opera are adjacent to campus and students get free admission as well as deep discounts, very cool curriculum involving lots of PBL, independent learning, limited time spent in lecture

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Aforementioned clinical opportunities are relatively spread out around town (not a dealbreaker, just less convenient), Lake Erie keeps things pretty cold

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To set up cab service the night before. I didn't have a car, and when I called the front desk of my hotel the morning of my interview they informed me it would take an hour for the taxi to arrive. I ended up walking 2/3 of a mile in the cold, all dressed up, dragging luggage to the interview, and arrived slightly late and sweaty. NOT the way to start the day!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I had a terrible cold going in to this interview and had to rock the daytime cold meds which affected my performance and perception of the school. I was so self-conscious that I would look either A) obviously sick, or B) unable to articulate my thoughts.
