How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, researched the school program, reached out to current / past SA dental school students

What impressed you positively?

New building is nice. Students were very helpful and encouraging. How innovative the school is.

What impressed you negatively?

The old building is OLD. No windows. No natural lighting. 2 years of dental school will be spent there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Felt very prepared. Just relax. Prepare your best. Once you do that, there is honestly absolutely zero point in stressing or worrying. You did what you could and you did your best. Leave the rest up to God.

What are your general comments?

Almost 100% behavioral interview. I heard some others had a rough time. Expect at least one question on your essays, so be able to genuinely talk about them. Closed file, but I heard one interviewer asks about your GPA and DAT, so be ready to back it up.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
