How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview

What impressed you positively?

The facilities. I really like how the students are assigned to teams of ~10 students in their third and fourth years for their clinical component. They are like small general practices overseen by faculty members. Each DS3 and DS4 gets their own operatory too.

What impressed you negatively?

The current renovations and upgrades which are supposed to be completed next fall. They are remodeling the pre-clinical laboratories and building a sim clinic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

The morning started at 9:30 with a presentation about the school, followed by financial aid, then a presentation about the curriculum. Then we ate lunch with senior students, asked questions, etc. We toured the school, then had our interviews. One was with a student, the other was with a faculty member. Then we take a survey and write a short essay/response. Overall it was a positive experience and I can see why everyone says such great things about the school. I love the family-like atmosphere!
