"the school got a new dean about a year ago and things are in transition -- a lot of the things that people talked about were prefaced with *tentative*, *planned*, or *possible*..." Report Response
"One, that everyone would be so nice -- this was my first interview and I literally worried myself sick beforehand. Second, that things really are changing. For the 2005 entering class, they've gotten rid of fixed tuition, instituted a 4-month research requirement, and have extended the PCT to all students regardless of their focus. They're also starting to concentrate more on community service/public health while still focusing heavily on research." Report Response
"I'll preface this by saying that Case was my first choice even before the interview, but I loved it, and the day was great. They have a lot of new facilities and innovative programs, and the students and faculty were awesome. Also, we talked to the deans of the school and of the admissions department rather than people who didn't play a major role." Report Response
