What impressed you positively?
Everything! Case blew my mind. The IQ, class from 8-12, students have so much free time and end up doing a ton of other things, the facilities, the research opportunities, the Cleveland Clinic, and on and on and on.
What impressed you negatively?
Ok, Cleveland isn't really THAT bad, and I'm an elitist big-city jerk, so honestly, it's not that bad. But I guess it was probably the worst thing about the interview, besides the ridiculous winds. But really, not that bad.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That there would be 30mph winds.
What are your general comments?
I applied MD/PhD, so I had a bunch of interviews, but I'm just limiting my feedback to the one MD interview and student interview I had.
