What impressed you positively?

The location is a really, really nice suburban school. It was a ways from the city so it was relaxing and they promisted that there was no problem finding patients.

What impressed you negatively?

The size of the school is really, really small and the people we talked to had done their undergrad at SUNY-Stony Brook so there was no way to gauge why they wanted to come here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They only accepted 6 out of state studnets last year and half the people they interview are out of state.

What are your general comments?

It was very nice, laid back. Just a conversation about my research, grades, where I'm thinking about going with dentistry, etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
