How did you prepare for the interview?

researched the school, reviewed my application, reviewed past activities including research, community service, etc.

Everyone's so approachable. Very friendly.; They're building more parking spaces for commuters - should be ready by fall 2006; Campus dorms should (hopefully) be ready for fall of 2006; new facility.

What are your general comments?

I had a very positive experience. My interviewer asked basic questions about my research, why i chose dentistry as opposed to medical school, where i was from etc. to spark up conversations. She shared alot about the school and also answered questions i had for her. We even talked about spa places... haha. Just be honest and don't be nervous!!!
