"*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."

You are hooked up with an upperclassman and inherit their patient load. They have a great program called Healthy Smiles in which they go out to area schools and give free exams and sealants to 2nd and 6th graders. The students seem very happy."

Sutdents all said that the faculty treat them very well and go out of their way to help you succeed in classes. Lastly I think the preceptor goups are a valuable component of the 3rd and 4th year clinics, really help students get use to the idea of working in an atmosphere that resembles a real dental office."

"Not too many negative things came from my visit." More from this Member | Report Response

"The whole feel of the interview day was off. Instead of being treated like future members of the school, I felt like we were more of an inconvenience to those in the school. We spent a lot of time sitting and waiting in the Admissions Office, we didn't get an orientation "Hey, welcome to our school!" type meeting, and our interviewers/tour guides just came and grabbed us when it was convenient for them. We then went on a tour with a couple of students, had lunch, went back to the Admissions Office to wait for a while more, and then were given essentially the same tour the students gave us by one of the admissions staff. The whole day just seemed haphazard and disjointed." More from this Member | Report Response

"They kept asking me questions about my husband and family life after I brought up the fact that I am married." More from this Member | Report Response

"Facilities and technologies seemed out of date. Pretty small building" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really. I would have appreciated if my first interviewer would have looked me in the eyes more and stop spending most of his time winding up his watch. He never asked the expected interview questions so I had to find ways to add onto the question to iterate my pursuit for dentistry. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Both my interviewers had not read my file earlier and read it only during the interview. The person who gave the financial talk seemed more like a army, navy, airforce recruiter. Did not gain anything from that meeting. The financial handouts were more helpful." More from this Member | Report Response

"I am a first year at Case and if you are interested you should ask questions about how big the class size was last year and how they plan to fix that for next year. The class is 85 FAR above the 70 to be accepted, this has made everything more difficult from finding space to sit in class to things that will be compromised in the future. The administration has brushed this off here as being something they can take care of, but I urge anyone applying to ask these tough questions at the interview."

One of my interviewers didnt show up, it seemed alittle disorganized, though it was layed back. dental schools preach professionalism, but the entire time i was there the secretaries were in chat rooms, and on my space....you can get payed to do that!!! the price.

"The school is very very expensive." More from this Member | Report Response

"More than 50% of the school is mormon. If you're mormon, you'll love it. I'm not, so the school seemed incredibly lacking socially. The highlight of my day is not going to be playing foosball in the lounge. I'm not married, I don't have 3 kids, so I'm not going to be able to fit in with these guys. There are also nearly zero females... 15 in the last class. Again, socially the school is lacking." More from this Member | Report Response

"The only bad thing about Case Western is the location and the tuition." More from this Member | Report Response

"The cost $$$. It about 70,000 a year to attend after you include the living expenses, lab fees, and materials. Also, even though the weather was awesome when I attended, my interviewing professor said, it was an anomaly, they typically have two months of cloudy days. " More from this Member | Report Response

"First off, the dental school entrance was hard to find and my cab driver had no idea where the dental school was and ended up circling the block three times before dropping me off, luckily at the back entrance of the dental school. Then no one could tell me where the Admissions office was. After FINALLY finding the Admissions office (I was lucky I got there so early), I had to wait around for the interviewers. The Financial Aid lady ran off unexpectedly so I waited around again for an hour before I got a tour with two students. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was very....disorganized. We arrived on time, at 8:45 and sat in the admissions office for about an hour and only spoke to the secretary. The interviews were good; they were very similar to other interviews I have had. After the interviews we had a presentation from the financial aid secretary who was negative, to say the least. She seemed nice as a person but she did nothing more than make us more confused about the financial aid process. Tip for her, we already know that we are getting into a huge debt, you don't need to press that. It would be more effective to just inform us of our options. The whole feeling of the interview was blah. We never saw the dean of the school or the dean of admissions which I found odd." More from this Member | Report Response

"some of the areas outside of the CWRU signs are not where i would feel comfortable after dark. also, some of their financial policies seemed a little strict, such as everyone having to buy their scrubs and equipment from the same place at the same time for the same price. speaking of price, tuition and all the other extra fees and supplies for classes and clinics are not cheap, being more than twice as much as my state school, but i guess i knew that going into it."

"The day needs more structure in order to allow applicants to feel truly welcomed to the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"Excellent school and programs. They seemed to have a "good-cop," "bad-cop" type of interview.

"Great admissions office. Love how connected Dr. Chuck is to applicants and how much he reaches out to pre-dental students. Cleveland really isn't as terrible as people seem to make it out to be.

"Great school, quite expensive though.." More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interviewer asked me what my hobbies were, and that got us into a conversation and we just talked for an hour, about life, sports, etc. The second interview the interviewer talked for a minute or two then asked me what questions I had, and never once asked me a thing. Both were really laid back, just wanting to get to know me." More from this Member | Report Response

"Excellent dental school, energetic students with state-of-the-art simulations--facilities are average, although the tuition reflects the cost of their equipment" More from this Member | Report Response

"two interviews. each of mine lasted 45 minutes. very nice. just wanted to talk. take the RTA to 120th Euclid ($1.75 from airport). cleveland isn't a great city. campus is not very safe. there's nothing to do on campus except Little Italy." More from this Member | Report Response

"You have 2 interview each an hour long. Each interview is open file, but both of mine really never looked at the file, it was pretty relaxed. They just want to see if you can carry on a conversation." More from this Member | Report Response

"I arrived around 8:30 and waited in the student lounge and watched sportscenter on the big screen TV. Four lovely ladies later joined as they were to be interview as well. There were 2 interviews total. My first one was with the remedial director and was very conversation-like. I couldn't believe it actually lasted 60 minutes. The 2nd was with Dr. Dalsky, the director of admissions, and was centered around 3 questions (see below). Once everyone was done there was the financial aid spiel and then lunch and a tour. very nice." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was there with two other interviewees, one who arrived very late (but they accomodated him). They did not have a big information session or multimedia presentation. They did brief us on financial aid. There were two seperate interviews with different people. They take you to their offices. My two interviewers were very different from each other. I felt really good about the first one and not so good about the second. Students take you on a quick tour and then to lunch. You have a lot of opportunity to talk to them in a very small group. " More from this Member | Report Response

"How layed back and easy going it was. i felt i bombed the interview, but come to find out in december i was accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"started out by reading some financial aid stuff then 2 one hour interviews, then more financial aid the tour/ lunch with some students" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were very open-ended and laid back. There were no really challenging questions, and both my interviewers were very down-to-earth." More from this Member | Report Response

"had a great interviewing experience. i felt like i had good interviews that were long enough for my interviewers to get to know me and get good info. to present me at their adcom meeting. the school was very impressive and the students seemed to be very happy at the school" More from this Member | Report Response

"Two one hour interviews with two different professors. Long time compared to Nova. Nut it wasn't hard or stressful." More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interview was with the director of admissions for the dental program. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. He started by answering whatever questions I had about the school, then told me the basic outline of the interview he was going to give me. The questions were expected and very straight-forward. The first interview lasted about 45 minutes. The second interviewer showed up late, but we still spent an hour talking. The second interview was very laid-back. It was mostly a conversation. He only asked one or two questions. Overall, they were good interviews. Not too stressful." More from this Member | Report Response

"First interviewer was really really nice as most of the interview was spent talking about the facilities at Case and the city of Cleveland. Towards the end, was told from my application and my responses I should be able to handle the workload in d-school. Second interviewer asked about my readiness for a PBL curriculum, commented about my grades, asked about my prev. med school application and what my parents did. The rest of the interview was spent talking about research at Case. I was there for over an hour, but time went by fast!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was very lay back, the director of Adm. is very nice, tell u everything beforehand. There will be a profrssor interviewing u as well, mine wasnt that good, cuz he doesnt really seems like know much about the school. Paking around the campus is expensive, and the dental building is all the way on the back of the medical school, a little hard to see from the street. Everything was expected, they just want to get to know u, nothing hard." More from this Member | Report Response

"YOU NEED TO DO THESE FOR A CASE INTERVIEW: arrive cleveland one day earlier, located the building. A good place to stay is Amerisuites, about 10mins away by car - 35$ (thru priceline bidding) >> nice comfy beds, 42 plasma etc... get a good nights sleepp i guess. visited rock n roll hall of fame..... boring stuff... same goes for most of the city" More from this Member | Report Response

"You should arrive about half an hour early for the 8:45am arrival time. There are 3 other applicants there with you. We chatted and waited until ~9am. Either an admissions officer or faculty member calls your name and takes you to their office. You talk with that person for about an hour and then go back to the admissions room to wait. Another faculty or admissions officer will come and get you after that and you talk to that person for another hour. Once all 4 of you are done, thre financial aid lady comes in and tells you about how much debt you're about to get in. Then, 2 students give a tour and eat lunch with you. They gave us each a 7 dollar voucher for the medical dining area. It was rather tasty. After that, they set you free. It'll be done at about 1pm. Both of my interviews were laid back. The faculty interviewer hardly asked any questions. We just talked. The admissions officer had a far more structured interview with the classic questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was great! This school is awesome." More from this Member | Report Response

"This interview my first dental inteview and it was for the alternate list because I applied so late. To ALL Canadian prospective dental students: APPLY EARLY!!! My first interviewer was with Brian Sherman and he was the one who asked the standard receipe interview questions. The second interview with David Dalsky was a no brainer at all. I barely answered any questions and he bascially did most of the talking and listed my achievements. At the end of the interview he just told me if you're accepted by the committee you will be ranked very high on the alternate list." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a great time at Case. Both my interviewers were tough but fair, and I think I left each meeting having had a good opportunity to present myself to the admissions commitee. The school is really cool, each student gets their own operatory, and you get assigned someone to organize and book your patients, which is a huge help I am told." More from this Member | Report Response

"Case was a really great Dental school, and I was honestly sad to turn down their offer of admission in favor of another school. They have excellent faculty and staff, it seems and the facility and interview experience was excellent. If you end up interviewing with David Dalsky, the dean of admissions, he'll tell you about the review process after the interview so you know what's going to happen. I also interviewed with Dr. Pyle, and she was great as well. She was very sweet, and answered a lot of questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"VERY impressed" More from this Member | Report Response

"nice people, experienced faculty, large clinic, very good patient base. however, i got the impression that most of the studnets were only there because they had to be. like they weren't excited about learning the art of dentistry. i can't place one particular thing about it, but i didn't really walk away impressed. it was like there was a ton of potential that wasn't being tapped." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had my first interview with a professor. She was easy to talk to and she was the one that asked me what one of my weak points was. The other interviewer was the Dean of Student Admissions. He was very open and just wanted to know what I was like." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a very good experience. It was my first scheduled interview, so it was a good preparation for the several other interviews I have. They just ask basic questions (Why dentistry; why Case). They seem to have caring faculty and students that want to help." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I enjoyed the interview. It was a very relaxed, stress free environment, which I appreciated. They just wanted to get to know you. Most of my interview with both interviewers were conversational rather than direct questions. Case's clincial training is top notch. Students get their own operatories. Case has it set up like a small group practice. Lots of opportunities to advance your skills as needed. " More from this Member | Report Response

"1 interviewer was relaxed. the other was more serious. the overall atmosphere was very friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, Case is located in a good area. Cleveland has much to offer. As a dental school, they are in a transitional period in terms of their curriculum. Their clinical reputation is very good. And the students/faculty love their school. The interviews are long, but are conversations...nothing to worry about. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Great experience overall. Well organized. Seems that half of the interviewers are serious, and half non-serious and easy going. Hope you get lucky" More from this Member | Report Response

"I had never been to Cleveland and I must say the city is pretty cool. It has everything I would need. Case I felt is a great school. You'll be impressed with their faculty, students, and lab. The interview is not too nerve racking. They really try to put you at ease. The admissions staff is super-friendly, not like some other staffs I've encountered. I suppose it has to due with the fact Ohio is a big farming states. People here have that country-folk attitude, which is good. You go through two interviews, one with a dental professor and the other with an admissions officer. My interview with the dental professor lasted 2 hours. Whe basically just talked about everything but dentistry. For example, "College football." The other interview was just a real quick overview of your stats. Relax, enjoy the experience, I know I did." More from this Member | Report Response

"I found myself waiting around A LOT. Plus, I didn't get to meet many students and the tour was really quick and half-assed. Cleveland is a nice-looking city, but has no people. " More from this Member | Report Response

"great. so glad i didn't cancel the inteview. great staff!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Received a letter in October 21, 2004 stating that I was to be interviewed for the "Alternate List." Isn't this not permissible by the guidelines set by ADASAS, where they will hold the status of your application until Dec 1st? Called the school to clarify--turns out that there is a "Regular List" of people to be interviewed. If this group of people don't accept or drop out before school starts, they pick people who they like from the "Alternates" interview, sorted by GPA & DAT scores. Scheduled interview for March 2005, but cancelled after five interviews & four acceptances. Good Luck!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Be sure to socialize with others....you ARE at the admissions office....watch out for David Dalsky- he's the director of admissions....I believe he too has a say on your admittance....so be friendly to other candidates and make a positive impression. Overall, the school was very nice, campus was small, but nice. Also- if you can get in town before 5, check out the school and find the room where you're supposed to be ahead of time. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall the school seemed fine, nothing really impressive. We sat in the admissions office for most of the morning while waiting for our interviews and also the Financial Aid person had to leave for an emergency so we just sat there until it was time for the tour. The tour was definitely lacking. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a good experience. All of the students seem happy with their choice and say that they would choose CWRU again. Even though the school is located in a bigger city, the school makes it worth attending IMO. " More from this Member | Report Response

"They didn't really have as much of a presentation as some of the others. We never say Dalsky the whole time we where there." More from this Member | Report Response

"This interview was just boring. The process is more explained in the following questions. I am giving it a neutral rating because of the feeling I got at the interview. The school is lacking energy, maybe not the school, but the interview is definitely lacking energy and organization. I was never stressed or pushed or challenged the whole time. I do not necessarily think that the less-than-average interview reflects the school. All of the students seemed happy enough. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I liked the school itself. The facilities are all updated and have all the newest technology. The clinic downstairs didn't have any patients in it, which was strange, because our tour guide told us the students have plenty of people to work on, but when we went to the acual clinic, I saw very few patients in there. The interviewers were very nice people (both were faculty members), however, their interview skills were very poor. Both of them talked about themselves the whole time. One of them tried to talk me out of trying to specialize and I told him three of four times I had no intention of specializing, but he still kept going on and on why I don't have the grades to specialize and how no one will let me specialize based on my undergraduate grades. He was a nice guy but I just felt the interview missed the mark and that they didn't get to know me any better." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had the impression the school was adequate. The facilities and faculty we saw were unremarkable. One interviewer was friendly and interested in finding out what kind of a person I am and the other tried to show me why I wouldn't be a good dentist. The admissions staff seemed to be on top of things and was very friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had two interviews, the first one with a faculty member, who was a jerk, but afterwards I was told by other students that he was just that way. Then the second interview was with the Dean, who was great and really was helpful to me. It was totally laid back and relaxed." More from this Member | Report Response

"One of my interviews was stressful (I later found out from a student that this interviewer was a professor that no one likes), the other one was really laid back. If you get an interview, it means you already meet all their qualifications, and they just want to get to know the person." More from this Member | Report Response

" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was really nervous before the first interview, but all of the questions were pretty straightforward, they aren't there to try to get you. i calmed down a ton and just relaxed for the second interview and the rest of the day was great. overall a really nice experience. i think one interviewer is supposed to review your file with you and the other one trys to get to know you more personally. my second interviewer only asked 2 or 3 questions and then just answered any questions i had. the rest of the day you listen to a talk about financial aid and then tour/lunch with the students. takes about 4 hours total." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was laid-back, and the interviewers just want to know you as a person. The simulation lab and the fact that 3rd and 4th year students have their own cubicles really impress me." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a very good interview experience. My second interview was a 'walk-about' interview, meaning that my interviewer bought me coffee and walked through the campus and had a nice discussion. The interviewers are really laid back and only a couple of items pertaining to my file were mentioned in either interview. For the most part I felt like I was being introduced to someone, say at a dinner party, and we were just introducing ourselves and getting to know one another. Though tuition is a bit high, I felt that Case was a place I could call home for four years and get a great education as well." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very positive overall. Our group for that day was 5 (all male), we all enjoyed the visit at the school. CASE is definetly a school that promises to produce great Dentists. Students were very proud of being at the school. The school expects that the applicants are ready for some serious dental schools work... CASE curriculum is extreme for the first 2 years, students concurred." More from this Member | Report Response

"really relaxed..the first interviewer who is director of admissions laid out a map of the interview and told me what points specifically he would like to cover during the interview. the other interviewer seemed like it was a last minute thing because she hadn't reviewed my file at all and only had time for about 20 minutes before she had to go to a class...but it was nice though since she focused more on my personality and other qualities besides grades, etc." More from this Member | Report Response

"Met with Mr. David Dalsky, who was very nice, and reviewed my background (45 min.). Then interviewed with the director of pathology for over an hour. Took a tour with students and had lunch with them in the medical school cafeteria. Returned to the admissions office for a very informal financial aid overview. A very enjoyable experience, despite the weather. Positive impressions. Accepted within a week after interview." More from this Member | Report Response
