No responses

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and the dental school's website

What impressed you positively?

friendly admissions staff

What impressed you negatively?

my interviewer would pause during the interview to read my entire personal statement and to read my letters of recommendations. She didn't prepare beforehand to get to know me as a person, and she seemed really irritable when she was interviewing me. I just sat in silence as she read my file-it was awkward.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That a student was going to interview me and that the interviewer would spend more time reading my file in silence than answering my questions.

What are your general comments?

Louisville was a decent school, but I didn't leave there feeling enamored. There was nothing special about it. All the other schools I went to had some special feature that stood out. The people there were generally nice, and they arranged for discounted accomodations at some nice hotels. I just couldn't see myself going there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
