How did you prepare for the interview?

Read info on the website, talked to dentists in the area, looked over my app, SDN... the usual.

What impressed you positively?

OH MY GOD the new building is absolutely gorgeous and honestly nothing will compare to it in the country. I also loved all the faculty/ admissions staff and 4th year students I met!

What impressed you negatively?

It was a crummy day (seriously, I was completely floored by the school)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How laid back and friendly everyone was. Nothing to worry about. Also, if you are out of state, I wish you woudln't apply (just kidding) b/c you have a pretty good shot of getting in with their current admissions percentages.

What are your general comments?

It was a great day and time and effort well spent. I want to attend this school hands down! My interview was thorough and informative. The tour took my breath away. And the people were chill and really interested in getting to know you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
