How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my essay, studentdoctor.net, some current event articles concerning dentistry.

What impressed you positively?

I really liked the student that interviewed me. She was really nice and made me feel really comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

All they talked about was how their were the number one school and how great their laptop curriculum was. Well, every school has a laptop curriculum now and it is nothing special anymor. The facilities were also outdated, and the building was dark and depressing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is not much in the area of the dental school. I had to drive around for fifteen minutes around the dental school to find a coffee shop to chill out at before the interview.

What are your general comments?

Overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Really, just be yourself and don't try to have prepared answers for everything. Treat it just like a conversation. This was my first interview and it was on the first day of interviews for Texas. I flew in the night before from France so I was a little jetlagged and could have done better w/ some more sleep. Be aware that there is an essay at the end of the day as well as a survey. It was quite an abrupt ending to the day. All in all I was accepted here but have chosen to go elsewhere.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
