✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked over my AMCAS application, read an article that my interviewer wrote, and made sure I understood the school's basic info (curriculum, etc.).

What impressed you positively?

All the students seemed very relaxed and at ease with everything. The second-years had a huge exam the next day, but they were not nearly as stressed as I would've thought. The pass/fail system for the first two years keeps the anxiety low.

What impressed you negatively?

It seems that a lot of students are less than enthusiastic about Cleveland, but they said the school itself makes up for it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You don't have to apply to most of Case's joint degree programs until after you're accepted to their MD program.

What are your general comments?

My interview went long (2 hours), but most last in between a half hour and an hour. It was incredibly laid-back, and it was pretty much just a get-to-know-you session. This was my first interview, but the format was very stress-free and made the whole experience pretty enjoyable. I got the impression that Case cares a lot for its students and is very receptive to comments/complaints by the student body. Everyone seemed very happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
