How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the presentations Dr. Chuck provided weeks prior to the interview day.

What impressed you positively?

*Technologically and clinically advanced, small class size, reputation, innovative curriculum, various specialty programs, externships, research and community outreach opportunities, and Dr. Goldman! I received a very good vibe from him during my interview. *When in clinic they schedule your patients for you, so less time to be wasted on that, which is nice. *A hybrid lecture/PBL curriculum during D1. I think PBL works more as a review session after lectures, which helps internalizing concepts and remembering stuff better in the future. *Long study time before step 1 board exam, which starts after Thanks Giving in D2 and lasts after new year (?). *Starting to work on patients during first semester of D1 with their Sealant Program on children.

What impressed you negatively?

*Facility is a bit out dated, but a huge clinic is under construction as of now, which I will be able to work at as a D4. *Cleveland is not the safest place to live. *Its cold winters and short days is a bit tough for me coming from the South. But I will be at clinic or at home most of the time so no biggy. Still much better than Michigan. IT WAS FREEZING there!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have worn an over coat. Cleveland is a tiny bit chilly!

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was very impressed with Case. Very well organized admissions. I haven't started the school yet, but as of heard from current students the school's admins know what they are doing, and don't want to make it harder as it is for their students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I loved Case! It's an amazing school with great reputation. Wish I could spend more time with students and tour more areas of the school.
