read sdn

What impressed you positively?

all of the students seemed to really love it there, and there is guaranteed housing for students in a dorm across the street

What impressed you negatively?

the pre-clinical facilities--they were the worst i'd seen at any dental school

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how poor of a pre-clinic facility they have, that they're building a new research building, and that the students are basically med students for the 1st two years.

What are your general comments?

my first interviewer was quite harsh and it was impossible for me to tell whether or not she liked me. but my second interviewer was extremely relaxed and friendly. so it really varies.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
