Since I'm from GA I wanted to get out of the Atlanta area plus I have a lot of family in the Cleveland area that I don't see too often. I was also very impressed with the interview process at Case. Since I got into Cleveland a few days early I called up to see if I could come in and shadow which they kindly obliged to. Not sure if they do this for every interview group (I was in an early group in Nov) but a second year took us out to dinner the night before. And then the whole interview day I thought was very personable.

I just got a bad vibe with Emory especially with their organization. There were times when I was just trying to get in contact with them regarding if they received apart of my application and most of the time I would get no response. The interview process was simple enough but to me Case just seemed to show more interest and care more about those interviewing. I also like the smaller classes sizes at Case (20ish as opposed to 50) and it seems like the first year is more hands on then most programs. Case was always my first option though.
