What are your general comments?
I had a great day, and came out loving the school! Ellen in admissions is AWESOME; she was so friendly and helpful and cool. In fact, everyone I met was friendly and helpful and cool. I enjoyed both of my interviewers very much (the faculty interview is open file and the student interview is closed, by the way). After an acceptance to one of my top-choice schools in November, this is the only interview I kept, and I'm really glad I did.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why would anyone want to be friends with you?
What was the most interesting question?
It's been said that laws, without morals, are nothing. What do you think?
How did you prepare for the interview?
sdn feedback, read the website, reviewed my secondary
What was the most difficult question?
"Tell me about a disappointment in your life and how you handled it." I could not for the life of me come up with anything worthwhile to talk about.
What impressed you positively?
Really friendly, warm people that seem to have a happy and tight community. Dean Horwitz has great vision for the school and for its student body... it seems like a very forward-thinking place. I like that the curriculum is moving to include more small group learning in addition to lecture, and I looove that the grading is REAL P/F, no honors, no ranking. I would also, most of all, like to give a shout out to the best damn rap session ever ;-)
What impressed you negatively?
Cleveland as a city doesn't excite me. But that's not Case's fault, and wouldn't keep me from attending the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Hmmm... nothing in particular comes to mind.
