How did you prepare for the interview?

Read application essay. Reviewed information on the school web site and materials sent by the school.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly and promoted a relaxed environment. Students were very nice. Individual clinic chairs for every student.

What impressed you negatively?

Very little. Sure, it's Cleveland. The clinic seemed a bit old, but was clean and efficient.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My downtown hotel was not as close to the school as I hoped. Bring extra $$ for lunch in case you go over the allotted amount for the meal ticket.

What are your general comments?

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
