Tip for Case Western Interview

Members don't see this ad.

So I just interviewed at Case Western. There's just one thing that I'd like to warn people about.


I wasn't sent a map of the school or anything like that, I was just sent a letter from the admissions office, and there's an address printed on the letter, which I assumed was the address of where I would be interviewed. So the day before the interview, I actually walked to that address, and I saw this huge sign next to an office building, which said "10900 Euclid ave. Office of Admissions". Since I also noticed that the neighboring buildings were part of the school and had different numbers (increasing from 10900), and since the sign also said something about admissions, I was pretty sure that I had found the right building.

Fortunately, I arrived at that building at 8:45 the following morning, and not at 9 a.m., which is when the interviews start.....because it actually was not the right location. The dental school building is actually quite a number of blocks away. So please look up where the dental school building is on a Case Western map online, and do not go to the address printed on the interview invitation.

Now why they wouldn't send you a printed map is beyond me.

I got there just in time (literally), but it's still a whole bunch of unnecessary stress. And it doesn't help that the building is sort of an extension of other buildings and is a bit confusing to navigate through.

Having said that, everybody there was super nice and it was a positive experience.

its easy to find but it is not at that address, just go find university hospital and the dental school is located around the corner behind the hospital next to the med school.

to add a transportation tip --

if anyone's going to be taking the public bus to the school for their interview, get off at the euclid ave & cornell st. stop. then just walk straight down cornell st. for about 3-4 minutes. the dental school is to your right just as you pass the university hospital. you'll have to go up some stairs.

www.gcrta.org has a trip planner you can use to find route & schedule info if you're relying on public trans to get to the school from your hotel (or around the city if you're sighseeing). but if you type in the 10900 euclid ave. address as your destination, it'll tell you to get off at the euclid ave. & adelbert stop. if you want to avoid walking an extra block to get to the dental school, get off at the euclid/cornell stop i mentioned, which is one stop further east.

Or follow the ambulance truck 🙂🙂 Dental clinic is across from the emergency room.
