Did you guys get blanked yesterday? My status went from "Invited for Interview" to "Received/Under Review" yesterday and hasn't changed today. I guess I will just have to wait for my letter to come in the mail.

Does anyone have a "Wait Listed" status?

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, Carpedm! I heard that you guys recently got a new clinic director, who has changed how the clinic operates, what the students are allowed to do/not do, etc. I was wondering if you thought the changes were for the better or if you are not a fan of the new director. Also, how much exposure do you have to each of the specialties? I know Case has each specialty department and you do rotations through them, but do you actually get to work on patients or do most cases go to residents? Thanks again for your help!

The new clinic director is great. She is very helpful and I feel comfortable talking to her about questions/concerns that I have. It has definitely gotten better with her here and I know other students feel the same way.
With the specialties, it depends on the specialty. If you want more exposure in a specialty, they are fine with having you shadow/help. But chances are that you won't be doing any 3rd molar extractions or molar endo or crown lengthening... It all just depends on difficulty/liability.

@carpedm- do you have any cons about the school that you have experienced that maybe the tour guides and whatnot haven't expressed?

@carpedm- do you have any cons about the school that you have experienced that maybe the tour guides and whatnot haven't expressed?

Without having to think very hard, the biggest con is definitely the price. Especially as I'm getting close to graduation, I've likely got $300,000+ in student loans (just from dental school). There is a lot of paperwork and dental treatment takes a long time for patients, but I'm sure that's typical of every other dental school.
Most of the other cons are about Cleveland, not necessarily Case. I HATE the winters in Cleveland (cloudy and cold from Oct-March). There are some pretty ghetto areas in Cleveland, but if you don't go to those areas it's not a big deal. If you haven't seen this video, this says it better than anything else - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM
I honestly can't think of much that I would consider a con about Case, except tuition.

UPenn is $22,000 more in tuition. More like $50K more when you add the UPenn fees. The cost to live in Philly is 2-3X the cost of Cleveland. Rent in Philly $1200-$1800@ Month vs. $450-600@ month in Cleveland. All totaled the cost difference is closer to $100,000!! I would definitely choose CASE, but only if you are lucky enough to get in. :)

You have a chance to attend an Ivey and Case is just depressing.
Just cancel the interview and go to Penn.
Let someone who really wants to attend Case get the chance.

No way is Penn worth $100,000 more. By the time the 100K is paid back, it's really more like 250-300K, and that is on top of the $320,000 you would owe, assuming you went to Case. Ivy League dental school does not make you a better dentist.

Case is about 50k cheaper/4 years than Penn if you consider educational cost + living expenses.

According to the numbers given by each school, Case would cost $331,068 and Penn would cost $366,188. That is $35,000 in difference.

God these schools are expensive.

I was using the data from ADA (2009).

Total educational cost for Case was $220,585

and Penn was $264,015

the diffrence was $43,430 and considering dirt cheap living cost in Cleveland, I would say Case is about 50-70k cheaper than Penn.

The interviews are pretty laid back. Just try to relax and be yourself. Like in any interview, dress professionally, strong handshake, good eye contact, and don't forget to smile. Be prepared to ask questions. Come prepared with why you want to go to Case.

You will do great!

I remember you saying that you wouldn't attend NYU because the school is too expensive and living cost is also tooooooo expensive.

So, I've been accepted to Case and UOP. UOP has been my top choice, but I was very impressed with Case when I interviewed there. As of right now, I'm still planning on going to UOP, but I wanted to see if anyone here could give me reasons of why I should choose Case over UOP. I want to make a more informed decision, so any comments would be helpful. Thanks.

UoP has a great program if you want to be a general practitioner. I think Case is more well-known nationally and globally. Because UoP is condensed into 3 years, students have said they have little time to do research or other extra-curricular activities to help them work towards specializing. In general, there is much less research going on at UoP than at Case. Basically, if you go to Case, I think it would help you keep the door open on specializing. Just my 2 cents... both are great choices. Good luck with your decision!

The fraternity house is very inexpensive for minimalist accommodations. The interview is pretty laid back. Be prepared with questions that are relevant to you. If you do your research about the school you will do fine. Just be yourself and Relax....

I would definitely not stay at the frat house.

I stayed there and it was completely gross. The bathroom had stuff growing in it and I am certain the building as a whole has not been cleaned in about a year. Another kid I interviewed with stayed at a nice hotel for the 50 bucks. I would take the hotel any day, especially if you want to shower without getting a disease.

Being "blanked" means the status is actually blank. The next day the status changed to "offer made" only. If your status changed to "Received/Under Review" maybe you will be made an offer or maybe the adcom is actually reviewing your application. Good Luck!!!:):):)

Hey guys, I was recently accepted at Case. I was wondering if any of you had to pick between Case and NYU? If you did, what made you choose Case? I have been researching the forum and found a few that were not happy with the clinical prep at Case and even though it seems to be extremely strong in all aspects, those posts really worry me. Anyone else had to make a decision to pick case over another clinically strong school?

Thank you! I really appreciate your help. Congratulations to all that have been accepted to Case!

Hey! Thanks :)

I have heard that in the past they did take people from the third group. The next major deposit is due July 7th. I would assume that some spots will open up then. Just in case tho, I would have a back-up plan in case you don't get in. I know its tough, but things happen for a reason. But hopefully u will get in!!

I called on Friday morning, and was told we are still 8 on the wait-list. Anyone knows about any changes to this number?

I was hoping that since tuition in many schools was due by last Friday, some of those 8 students (who were maybe accepted in other schools) would have withdrawn from the waitlist..........

any idea?

Hiii thesecre08,
I was browsing through the class of 2016 thread and the Case archive and I've noticed that you got accepted. I currently on the alternate list and I was wondering if you can answer some questions for me of how to increase your chance of getting accepted the next application cycle? I know that your file does not allow receiving private messages. Is there anyway that I can contact you?
thank you !!!!
