What are your general comments?

"My interview at Case followed what probably was my favorite school so far, so a bit of a letdown was expected. It was my first trip to Cleveland, and I have to say, as a town, it's a nice place. CWRU is located right on the undergrad campus and nextdoor to nursing and dental schools. My interview was with a PhD who teaches, and I have to say, she was a wonderful interviewer. Corny as it sounds, I think she really "brought out the best" in me as far as being able to highlight my achievements and leading me down roads that played specifically to my strengths. Basically, it was the ideal interview and she was quite forthcoming with her opinion of the students (surprise: it was far more neutral than positive) at the school. The interview was supposed to last for an hour, but was waning about 30 minutes in. I asked her a few questions and ended up talking to her for another 20 minutes or so. The interview was followed by a tour and lunch. The tour guide was an 4th year MD/PhD who the admissions rep had to call that morning to take care of us. He seemed a bit tired/stressed and perhaps out of it, but he did his best for us. He did answer all of our questions (and we had a lot) but he didn't seem particularly excitied about much of anything the school had to offer. It was a far cry from the other schools I have seen where students are scarily eager to show you around. He did an acceptable job, though. It is worth noting that the hospitals seem to be first-rate and are amazingly asthetically pleasing. Some downsides: the classroom building is depressive, you will need a car for your 3rd and 4th year curricula, and the cost of living (one of our interviewees was a resident) is higher than you would expect for a city of this size. Tuition is high but it "includes" the cost of a mandatory laptop which is used extensively in the cirriculum. Overall, it was a good (but not a great) interview -- perhaps just not the best fit for me. Definitly worth a look though, especially if you are an OH resident." Report Response
