How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, BCD website, lots of practice and preparation

What impressed you positively?

The simlab was very impressive, especially when all of the DS2 students were in there having class; all of the interviewers were very nice; Dr. Spears(head of research); the cafeteria

What impressed you negatively?

One of the 4th year students said if she could, she would have picked UTSA instead(I think b/c she said it was easier-less lab work); she also said how tough the 1st year was

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I wasn't so nervous when I met with Dr. Miller(Exec. Director of Admissions); she wasn't technically an interviewer, but she met with each applicant for approx. 5 minutes

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed the day. I didn't know what to expect, but the school and faculty really impressed me. Dr. Spears has a lot of good information (be sure to ask good questions) during the conference room briefings. I haven't interviewed at UTSA or UTH yet, but I think they will have to prove to me that they are better than Baylor. The impression and vibes I got convinced me that Baylor will make you a complete and more confident dentist(versus UTSA and UTH).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
