How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN and wrote down questions that others were asked. Also talked with a few dentist's and my pre-dent advisor.

What impressed you positively?

The clinics were very well established. The staff and faculty were also very nice and laid back, which allowed me to be comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is kinda old, but no big deal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed my experience at IU. They were very nice and answered any questions that I had. I hope I get in. This is my #1 choice. Don't worry about the interview too much. Just prepare ahead of time what you want to say for the questions that some students have been asked here on SDN and you will be just fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
