How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at this page, looked on reddit, practiced my questions with friends and by myself to make sure I spoke in a relaxed and realistic way that wasn't robotic. Made sure to know why bu, why dentistry

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

It was a casual conversation and I appreciated that the interviewer was very nice and didn't seem to mind even if I stuttered or faltered a little.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not really that negative, but I got the vibe he didn't really like one of my answers to "Why BU" because he said well thats the point when I talked about how integrative the curriculum was. Also, the conversation flowed somewhat well, but he would just throw questions at me normal interview style.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To be prepared for curve ball questions

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

just know why dentistry, why BU, and if you don't know a question, take a second and then just answer it to the best of your ability. Do look over more questions than what is provided here since I got some that I was unprepared for. Also, it was conversational but he did still throw question after question to me.
