What impressed you positively?

the staff are AMAZING and really nice! students there liked the school; students who led the tour were very friendly and insightful; students raved about the clinical exposure - you're out in your first year placing sealants in underserved communities; campus is nice; simulation lab is pretty high tech

What impressed you negatively?

Neighborhood is a little bit sketchy; some areas of the building are old, but they are going to renovate soon; over 80k for tuition

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that at 6 feet tall, i would still be the shortest one at my interview lol; nothing really, the whole interview was very laid back and relaxed; a lot of public transportation - saves you the money, but don't go too far down east of the school cause it gets a little ghetto

What are your general comments?

great experience; really laid back and conversational interview!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. The Admin Office was great! The staff at Case Western are superb
