What impressed you positively?

"Really friendly, warm people that seem to have a happy and tight community. Dean Horwitz has great vision for the school and for its student body... it seems like a very forward-thinking place. I like that the curriculum is moving to include more small group learning in addition to lecture, and I looove that the grading is REAL P/F, no honors, no ranking. I would also, most of all, like to give a shout out to the best damn rap session ever ;-)" Report Response

"Cleveland as a city doesn't excite me. But that's not Case's fault, and wouldn't keep me from attending the school." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I had a great day, and came out loving the school! Ellen in admissions is AWESOME; she was so friendly and helpful and cool. In fact, everyone I met was friendly and helpful and cool. I enjoyed both of my interviewers very much (the faculty interview is open file and the student interview is closed, by the way). After an acceptance to one of my top-choice schools in November, this is the only interview I kept, and I'm really glad I did." Report Response
