What are your general comments?
Its very good. It was my first interview. I went in BLIND, not knowing anything and I left feeling I left my mark. I got a chance to talk to a million students, professors, and even spent 30 minutes talking to asst. dean, which you cant at most schools. Overall, apply here if you have the grades. You will love it, its a top school and you will love it.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Your GPA is fairly low compared to your DAT score, why is this?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I just told myself to "tell the truth about everything" and read over few posts on SDN
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was extremley nice, welcoming, they were all great. The facility is top notch. It was just all together a great visit, plus they invite you for dinner the night before to check it out before hand. They do their hardest to make it comfortable and easy for you, unlike many schools.
What impressed you negatively?
I didnt like the fact there were not that many restaurants and cafes on campus. I would of liked it more if there were more places on campus for students to spend time, like a starbucks or mcdonalds or club or bar. But there is stuff OUTSIDE of campus grounds which is not that bad.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I didnt realize that UNC was a top 5 dental school. I realized halfway through the process that I was competing against the top students in the nation.
