How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed SDN, talked to dentist and MDs about their interview experiences, reviewed my application and personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The positive and friendly attitudes of the staff, the sim lab, and the new ortho clinic. Also the fact that they impress upon that upon graduation from Howard how prepared you'll be to go out and practice dentistry.

What impressed you negatively?

High cost of living in Metro DC.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

After reviewing SDN I was pretty prepared for my interview. There were no real suprises.

What are your general comments?

I got my acceptance email yesterday and I'll be enrolled in HUDC this fall so obviously I had a very positive experience. We arrived at the school, we were taken up stairs to a conference room and brief about our day. Our large group was broken up into smaller groups and given a tour of the facilities. We returned to the conference room and were taken in one by one for interviews. We also had to right a short essay about a positive role model who influenced our lives (23 min. time limit).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
