SECOND LOOK WEEKEND
The Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Office of Admissions receives approximately 5,500 applications each year from applicants from all across the country. From this pool, approximately 360 applicants, all with exceptional academic records and extraordinary personal accomplishments are accepted for admission.
The "Second Look Weekend" was developed three years ago as a tool for the recruitment of top students who have not yet decided among multiple offers of admission. These top applicants consider not only the academic credentials of the school, but also weigh lifestyle factors such as compatibility with fellow students and faculty, housing, and attributes of the city in their decision making process.
The Second Look Weekend allows potential matriculants additional time to meet with current students, faculty, alumni, and potential classmates in a more relaxed and informal setting than the interview day. In addition to campus and city tours, the applicants enjoy an evening dinner with alumni, learn about a multitude of student organizations, receive further curricular information and have the opportunity to sample Cleveland nightlife with current students.
In the past, Second Look Weekend also coincided with the student musical production of "Doc Opera". Of the 130 students who attended Second Look Weekend in 2007, over 60% ultimately decided to matriculate at our School. Second Look Weekend is viewed by top schools as an increasingly important recruiting tool in ensuring strength and diversity of the student body.

"One of the main reasons why I chose Case was because of the people I met on the Second Look Weekend. I met my roommates for next year, amazing faculty, and friends I will remain in contact with regardless of where they decide to attend school."
