How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed possible questions online.

What impressed you positively?

Beautiful building ; Decent facilities; Honesty about the cost of living in NYC with recommendations about where to live;

What impressed you negatively?

Interview was too quick; Lots of waiting around; No formal presentations about what NYU Dental has to offer; No real effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

NYU says that there is one 1-on-1 interview and then a "chat" with an admissions staff member where our questions may be answered. It's actually just a more conversational second interview.

What are your general comments?

The admissions staff should really put together some sort of presentation about the school admissions process/statistics/curriculum/what sets it apart from other schools/etc, and not have us sitting in a room for two hours waiting to be called for two different interviews. They should also consider doing interviews later in the interview day (after the tour) so we may have more questions for them during the Q&A session.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Add an informational presentation about the school to the interview day, and please do the interviews after the presentation and tour.
