Why Case? What did you learn more about today that made a positive impression?
Why do you want to stay in Cleveland? (I am from here. It kind-of caught me off-guard but I was able to come up with an answer.)

What was the most interesting question?

What is your novel about? (I said I liked writing and am working on a novel. I was so excited to get asked this because I love talking about it and it helped me relax.)

What was the most difficult question?

What have you done? (Faculty interview was supposed to be open-file but she hadn't read my file at all and was reading it during the interview. I started to talk about something and then she asked me questions about it so I didn't have time to elaborate on my other activities. I mostly asked her questions during that interview.)

How did you prepare for the interview?

I have responses typed up for standard questions so I reviewed those, and looked at Case's website.

What impressed you positively?

students seemed really relaxed and friendly and seemed to really like it; the hospitals; my student interviewer was a last-minute sub but asked really interesting questions

What impressed you negatively?

My faculty interviewer was not prepared and also didn't seem to know how to interview. I just hope I managed to make a good impression anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that they only have class from 8-12 four days a week (one day is optional)! It was super-relaxed.

What are your general comments?

The interview day made a really good impression on me and Case shot to the top of my list. Everyone seemed really happy with their decision to go to Case.
