How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Search questions/feedback from students on the Facebook dental school interview Bootcamp group.

What impressed you positively?

1. The facility of the school and how nice every faculty was. 2. They set up the entire clinical cubicle just like any other private practice. This gives patients more privacy during treatment. 3. Students work in pairs (one main doc and one assist). This model allows a greater efficiency and students get to learn the aspect of being an assistant as well, which will be beneficial in the future if they want to set up a private practice. 4. There are no dispensary station and all the equipment and materials are accessible in every cubicle --> Time efficiency.

What impressed you negatively?

The students there did not seem very enthusiastic about what they do.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How relaxed the interview is.

What are your general comments?

Touro has the great potential to become one of the best dental schools in the country.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Touro has a great potential to become one of the best dental schools in the country. Be proud of your curriculum and clinical training program, and make sure you sell the school well.
