✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN's website, came up with answers for generic interview questions, skimmed UNMC's dental website (even though I really didn't have to do this)

What impressed you positively?

I liked that it was pretty easy going in the beginning. Listening to people talk and the slide show projection helped relax me before the interview. Everyone was just really nice making you feel like you were wanted there.

What impressed you negatively?

I guess I didn't feel like the interview questions really let me tell them the good things about me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish they told me that I would be given the tour w/5 other students and that the interview only lasts about 15 minutes.

What are your general comments?

I had two interviewers. They were fairly easy going, but I didn't like the questions that much.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
