✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Forum mainly. Almost all of the questions on the forum were the questions answered.

What impressed you positively?

The Sim labs are awesome! Very state of the art. The orthodontics clinic is brand new also.

What impressed you negatively?

I've been to Howard's dental building before, and they didn't take us to the more run-down parts of the building. Besides that, nothing impressed me in a negative way. Everyone was very nice, enthusiastic, and friendly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. The forum really prepared me for the interview.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview went well. Everyone was super nervous, but the faculty was very nice and seemed to care about the students. However, the building is very run-down overall and is in the heart of the ghetto.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
