What impressed you positively?

"The facilities were nice. Despite being a truly depressing city, the public transportation system in Cleveland is decent" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Cleveland...probably the worst city I have had the misfortune to visit. More homeless people asked me for money than on a typical day here in NYC. My interviewer was a PhD in epidemiology and had very little info on the school. Our tour guide seemed disinterested; like she had other things she'd rather be doing" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That interviewing here was a waste of time. Also, taking public transportation is your best bet, but allow for extra time. The train ride took literally 35 mins" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I doubt I will get into Case, but if I did it has moved to the bottom of my list. My interviewer and I had nothing in common, and even after giving her my whole spiel the best she could say was..tell me more. The thesis requirement Case has is obnoxious, and the city is decrepid, run down, and very poor. Sure Case is a bit isolated, but I still felt like the misery of the city spilled over onto the campus. " Report Response
