What are your general comments?
There was actually some mixups, so I watched my interviewer lecture to dental students for an hour and a half before the interview. I had read here that the interviews at NJMS could involve ethical questions and the like, but mine didn't. It was a very relaxed conversation. My interviewer told her story, which was a little unique (switching from OB/GYN to pathology). Overall, very fun, and I learned a lot about the school.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Do you have any medically-related extracurricular activities?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over the school's literature and web page.
What impressed you positively?
The amount of patient contact possible, even in the first year, as well as a good residency matching rate.
What impressed you negatively?
The lack of housing, and the neighborhood -- as much as the tour guides tried to say that the area isn't really bad, it's obvious that it isn't very good either. Also, even though it's a state school, it's still fairly expensive, so some financial aid info would have been nice.
