What impressed you positively?

The school was a million times better than I expected. I was hesitant about going and I had a great time. The interview was the best one I had at any school. The interviewer was so nice I couldn't believe that it was actually my interview. The sim lab is gorgeous. Tons of patients. Cool students. Lots of diversity. Foreign dentists join the class in the second year. Lots of volunteer opportunities and mission trips to other countries. Amazing research opportunities. The admissions staff was very positive and friendly. I believe that I will get a top notch education at NYU.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost. It's just so expensive. The interview started at 8am.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much I would like the school.

What are your general comments?

It was the easiest interview I had by far. We just talked and the interviewer kept saying really nice things to me. The whole time I was thinking is this actually my interview. No tricky questions. He wasn't trying to stump me, just see what type of person I am and if I would fit in at NYU. I was accepted and will be attending in the fall.
