No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I researched the school, website (student life, classes, programs, news forum) The info is online

What impressed you positively?

They were amazingly organized, and friendly. They were well prepared to present to me why that school is special. Not cause of the fact that it is a 3 year program but that they have a humanistic approach. If you have a chance to interview here, look at all the students and how positive and enthusiastic they are, I didn't experience this anywhere else.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

you get to do more root canals and extractions than at most schools since those specialties are in Oakland. This gives the student greater knowledge, skill and experience, which is really what your paying for.

What are your general comments?

this is hands down the best university I researched and interviewed at. Also, Dr. Yarborough the dean of admissions was accessible and very helpful. This is something I didn't find at other schools. Great school. Incredible atmosphere (faculty and students)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
