Case Western Reserve interview
Started by sbhatt87
What's so good about Case dental school? Anybody want to elaborate?
hey man i just got a letter today. where exactly are you gonna stay and stuff?
Earliest date was sometime last week of August, but when I called mostly everything was booked up until September 14th, and that was a few days ago.
Hey does anyone remember what days they said were available for interviews? i.e. Mon-Fri?? I originally scheduled for a Wednesday, but want to reschedule for a later Friday date in order to make it coincide during the same week I have another interview. Thanks for the help! 😀

np! thanks =D goood luck with coordinating your interviews =D
i am buying my tickets tomorrow. =\
Just an idea, I have my interview next Friday and I am flying in to Akron, which is only 33 miles from the school. My flight and rental car were both a lot cheaper than flying into Cleveland. I am going the day before though, so I have plenty of time to drive in. So if your looking to save some cash you may want to look into it. I'll let you know how it goes.
i agree! thats exactly what im doing!! it comes to be a lot cheaper to rent a car even with underage fees. also, look into a motel 6 in or around cleveland. its even cheaper than the $50 fraternity house thingy that they offer. im scheduled for oct 1st! preettyy exciteed 😀
anyone else goin on this day too?!
Check cashed: 7/20
snail mail saying file is complete dated 7/23
Interview invite received by snail mail on 8/10 (Dated 8/6)
Sooo.. expect some magic in three weeks =D
Where did you search for tickets?
I tried expedia and kayak.com. flight Seattle - Akron. Cheapest tickets were still more expensive than what I paid going Seattle - Cleveland.
BTW.
I am interviewing Sept 10 and staying at the frat. Anyone on the same date?

Hey guys, here is some info. I need help in figuring out the transportation to and from the hotel, airport and school
Both within walking distance to school, but too expensive
Baricelli Inn: $150
Glidden House: $139
Frat house: $50
Was nervous about living conditions but I called them and they said it is a separate bedroom and bathroom. It is half a mile from the campus.
Two problems:
- Not sure how transportation goes from: Airport--> frat house--> airport. Just taxis? That would be expensive (25 both ways)
- Transportation from frat--> school--> frat. I know it is only half a mile away. But, wearing a business outfit and cold weather is not going to fly =\
Hampton Inn: $84
Is in downtown (Approx 4 miles from the school). However, there is no shuttle to and from the school.
Double tree: $89
Is in downtown (5 miles from school). There IS a shuttle to and from the school. How do I get to and from the airport though??? The packet says that you can take the RTA rapid transit (train?) from airport to campus -- not a hotel? ****THIS is what i am mainly confused about. I am coming in on a Sunday--- do they RUN on these days? or run on fewer times? Should I just close my eyes and give the taxi cab people my money? haha.
Sorry I sound so confused. The whole is it worth staying far away and paying more (but KNOWing i have transportation to the school) sounds better one second and =\ the next.
Thanks =D

I know exactly how you feel, Cleveland was the most confusing place, thats why I just bagged it all and rented a car.
my suggestion is land at akron, rent a car, get a room in a motel 6 or smthn, im SURE theres one within a 10 mile radius of the school. the whole deal will be cheaper than jus landing in cleveland. i looked into it, and for me, landing at and leaving from cleveland with the times i wanted came out to be around $400 just for the flight tix. then i looked into akron - its about 240 including all fees and taxes, 50 bucks for a rental car (underage fee included) and i believe $36.99 for motel6. sounds like a sweeet deal to me
i think I had seen this post before -- and I checked out Akron but I got the best deal (240) from houston--cleveland.
Even though I could get a rental car to avoid all this confusion, I would rather not. I just got into a car accident and my car got totaled. SOOOO, definitely still have a phobia of driving (that too in unknown places that MAY have icy roads).
That being said, I am trying to get hold of one of the ladies in Doubletree and see if she can give me more useful advice. =D I will let yall know.
In the mean time, if anyone gets an interview on October 12th, let me knoooow!!! We could think of splitting a room (if it is the double tree =\) and/or the taxi fare =D
Em.. My flights for November to cleveland are a lot cheaper:
Dates: November 19 at Dental School; November 20 at Medical School.

Has anyone heard of University Hotel and Suites. Supposedly it is only 2.67 miles away from Case Western and they provide a shuttle to the school. If you go on priceline.com, it's only 60 dollars a night. It's downtown and close to a lot of Cleveland attractions, but some reviews say the neighborhood is a little sketchy and the hotel isn't exactly a 4 star hotel. Any input on this deal for a one night stay??
I interviewed at Case on August 17th staying at a friend's apartment in Cleveland. I posted interview feedback ("8/18/09..."). The setting was casual and it appears they only have three interviewees per session. Approximately two blind, forty-five minute interviews: one with an individual faculty or researcher and one with David Dalsky. Case had average facilities, great simulation equipment and competitive National Board scores, but it comes at a price. Applicants with 3.5+ GPAs and 20+ DATs will be automatically considered for merit scholarships ranging from $1,000-10,000. Most of the students I spoke to were pursuing military scholarships.

I just scheduled my interview for December 11. They said the earliest date they had was December 2nd. I feel weird since all of you are interview so early! Good luck!
I stayed there this last Thursday night and you're right, it is a little bit rough looking, but the room was great, and the people were nice. I didn't use the shuttle, but I did see that there was a sign up for it at the desk. I would stay there again.
Just got a rejection from this school yesterday...1 down 15 to go lol.
kallie902, that is exciting! i'm just coming from bowling green, oh. i don't even think i'll be staying overnight but we'll see! where are you from??
Anyone going there on September 10th?
Also, if anyone stayed there in the Delta Delta Sigma co-ed, share your experiences please🙂

bump...anyone?
I'm from cleve too!! See you tmrw in the am!
I had an interview today (September 10) but I am stuck in Denver waiting for lay over flight. I will post later in feedback. For now I will say it was VERY laid back.
Yea, I liked Case in every aspect besides the 80k approximate attendance cost per year and the area of Cleveland.
my feedback is up. Check it out (9-10-09)
