No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This was my first interview, I realized that I couldn't prepare. I was just my honest self.

What impressed you positively?

The ortho clinic- but doctoral students don't really spend time in there, anyway, mainly post-doctoral students.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking, facilities (clinic and overall), location - the location of the dental school is in a hospital and also the city is really boring, lunch really wasn't a lunch. No student lounge, medical library is very lacking, sim lab design sucks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wear comfy shoes.

What are your general comments?

The other schools I interviewed at were more along the lines of, "so how can we help you and this is why we would like you to come to our school." UF was more like, "So why should we let you in? We are better than other schools" I disagree- I liked the other schools I interviewed at MUCH better. I also was accepted into UF but I ended up turning them down after realizing another school was best for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
