How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The ratio of students who were able to specialize from UF(I think it was 33%)...very impressive!

What impressed you negatively?

The clinics are not up-to-date...it is a state school so one should expect that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Ask the secretary what the names of the people interviewing you are before you go in there...it would've been nice to introduce yourself with "Goodmorning Mrs. Sposetti, my name is _____"

What are your general comments?

I thought I did well, they even photographed a denture set that I made and seemed very impressed by it. They made no mention of my 97th percentile DAT score. And unfortunately I got the thin letter in the mail last week...rejected! {Hopefully b/c I'm not a FL resident}

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
