How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, UOP's website, I also have friends who are currently attending UOP.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is very enthusiastic about the school, I mean EVERYONE! Faculty, Students, Admissions, everyone is on some kind of dental high (maybe from the NO2). The facilities are top notch and in the clinic you really have the opportunity to get top-notch experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking around the school, maybe limited to 100 cars, it's pretty bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That getting an interview is harder than being accepted. Once you get an interview, your pretty set. Either acceptance or wait listed.

What are your general comments?

AWESOME!! I just found out I was accepted, so I am extremelly excited.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
