How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, common interview questions, watched Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle...that loosened me up the night before.

What impressed you positively?

Students were friendly with us and with each other.

What impressed you negatively?

They kept comparing themselves to Baylor, as some sort of costant competition. The presentation was boring and worthless!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were ants in my hotel room, and the shoes I wore to the interview were not ment for tours.

What are your general comments?

I was very nervous because it was my first dental interview, but talking to the students really helped. I was not impressed by the facilites but I don't expect them to be any worse than most dental schools.
