How did you prepare for the interview?

I read up a bit on the school, and hung out with some first year students (stayed with a buddy from undergrad) the weekend before. I asked them tons of questions.

What impressed you positively?

The program as a whole is great, and everyone at the school treated all of the interviewers as colleagues. Facilities are great, too!

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't have chocolate milk at the brunch... absolutely criminal!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the very few SDN posters that negatively rate Pitt are about as informed on good dental schools as a cow is about headlights... neither know how to recognize either for what they are! And that is no bull.

What are your general comments?

I am extremely impressed by Pitt. This school really has it together. I was prepared to see "nice facilities." But I was not prepared for the relaxing, friendly atmosphere. The faculty is wonderful, including ROSE! She is like that aunt you only see every few years, but always remembers your name and gives you a heartfelt hello at the family reunion! This is a great school-I have no clue how the negative posts arise. Don't take their word, but don't take my word for it either... apply and go interview. I will probably end up at Pitt.
