✅ 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?

Asked myself basic question: Strengths/Weaknesses, my motivations.... General questions you would expect. There is no way you can anticipate all the questions. Just be honest. If you don't know tell them you don't know.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students were extremely friendly and laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

This was my first interview. Since UTSA is supposed to be a leader in technology I imagined the dental school was newer. The building seemed very old but I must admit everything else was modern.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really surprised me. Everything you need to know is told to you during orientation. Just make sure to follow up with questions of your own. Sound Interested.

What are your general comments?

Although UTSA is ranked as one of the best schools in the nation, the faculty and students were very humble and friendly towards the interviewees. There was no reason to be nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
