I have an interview with Case coming up in early April. I would really appreciate if someone who has gone there could offer me some advice based on their experiences. Thank you in advance!
 
Wow, April is a late interview! Congratulations.

I interviewed in September. There were 4 of us including me in the group. I first interviewed with a member of the faculty for about 30 minutes. I then interviewed with Dr. Dalsky, the dean of admissions for abotu 35 minutes. Both were 1 on 1, very informal. They were both very nice, Dr. Dalsky iss especially nice. First interview was why I wanted to be a dentist, strengths and weaknesses, how would your friends describe you and where you see yourself in 10 years. Dr. Dalsky asked about family background, why dentistry and why case.

Prepare answers for teh above and you'll do fine. Be relaxed and enjoy the experience. It's pretty informal. The facilities are beautiful and the staff were all very friendly. I'll be going to Case in the fall. Good luck!

Thanks for your information! I really appreciate it. Hopefully, I will see you in the fall:laugh:
 
They have a relatively new PBL curriculum that they you should be familiar with before you go. Make sure you speak highly of it, they are pretty proud of it. If you absolutely hate it though, Case may not be a good place for you to be. Then again, whoever accepts you is a great place to be 🙂

I will keep that in mind, thanks!
 
just grill the interviewer on PBL then you dont have to answer any questions about yourself....also ask about sealant week they really like talking about it especially if your interviewer is Dr. Lalumandier
 
be yourself and make sure your zipper is closed.
case was a fun and relaxed interview. OH and leave early cuz i had trouble finding the right building.
 
early april ? School is gonna be quiet that week because we're on spring break.
 
The only thing that concerns me right now is that I don't know if there are still spaces available. I called the school and they said that I am being interviewed for the primary class, not for the waitlist. Again, there is a good chance that the class has already been filled by this time of the year. 😳
 
I interviewed today... I was told back in October when I got the invite to not worry about a late March interview, they were purposefully scheduling to fill the class more slowly than in the past.. I was told the same today, and that there are still primary seats left in the class (though the number is small, they didn't specify how many)

good luck

(and keep ur fingers crossed for me and you!!)

Same here. I got the interview invitation last November and the earliest date I could make an appointment at that time was April. It is good to know that they still have primary seats available at this stage of the application cycle. It would probably not be polite of me to ask you what types of questions they asked you in the interview since we are potential competitors, but I wish you the best!👍
 
Heh, I can definitely tell you they were all your standard interview questions, nothing totally unexpected.
