Absolutely wonderful interview day. Really relaxed. I'm lucky that I had this as my first interview in the cycle. Relax and tell them how amazing you are!

My experience may be different from others since we get different faculty. But I wasn't asked about my research in depth as I expected. The faculty were MD and did not seem to understand or care for the nitty gritty details. They asked about it but it didn't feel like they cared for asking follow-up questions that really focused on the science.

There isn't much that was negative. I guess I thought the program provides a full ride but they provide full tuition, and you take care of living expenses. However, I did learn that 5 out of 32 matriculates gets the Dean's scholarship which is an additional scholarship that covers living expenses, so those 5 students do get a full ride.

How laid back the day was, and I absolutely loved touring Cleveland Clinic. Ups the game. I also actually really enjoyed my interviews, especially the ones with the faculty. Interviews are nerve-wracking but the interview room is small (so it felt cozy despite the white walls and modern furniture). The group activity was also fun (mock PBL session).

I read over my application and made sure I understood my research.

School is very fit for a particular type of student.

A good amount of students are from Ohio

Class size was really small, lectures mandatory

Facilities were amazing, PBL, No grades

The school's facilities, PBL group model, unique curriculum, research emphasis

Researched the school and familiarized myself with the curriculum.
