How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied notecards, researched information on the school, reviewed the interview feedback and questions on SDN.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I loved how supportive and laid-back the whole staff was. The interview was super casual like a conversation among peers.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They emphasized the project based learning a little too much. I wish they would have emphasized they types of experiences their students get in the clinic and early on.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was a soap carving activity.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The soap carving activity for manual dexterity was a lot of fun (20 minutes timed though which was nerve-wracking). The interview itself was very laid-back and enjoyable. They did the interview earlier on so the rest of the day was relaxed. The school is very new so the clinics are gorgeous.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Emphasize the experience the students gets more than the project based learning, although that is very important too.
