mock interviews, SDN, previous interviews at other schools

What impressed you positively?

students (the only 2 that I got to talk to) seemed to enjoy their experience there, facilities very nice

What impressed you negatively?

First off, the dental school entrance was hard to find and my cab driver had no idea where the dental school was and ended up circling the block three times before dropping me off, luckily at the back entrance of the dental school. Then no one could tell me where the Admissions office was. After FINALLY finding the Admissions office (I was lucky I got there so early), I had to wait around for the interviewers. The Financial Aid lady ran off unexpectedly so I waited around again for an hour before I got a tour with two students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have to wait so much and that Cleveland was so deserted. I saw no people on the streets, it was kind of creepy.

What are your general comments?

I found myself waiting around A LOT. Plus, I didn't get to meet many students and the tour was really quick and half-assed. Cleveland is a nice-looking city, but has no people.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
