This website. Several other online pre-dental sites

What impressed you positively?

The labs are being updated. Charleston is gorgeous. I've heard from local dentists that the MUSC faculty was unusually friendly, and I found that to be the case.

What impressed you negatively?

Some people refer to the older facilities as being a problem, but I'm not convinced that it's any real concern.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking seems a little difficult.

What are your general comments?

I showed up 15 minutes early as was one of the last interviewees to arrive. They took my picture, then showed me to a conference room to join the rest of the applicants. The room was dead silent... Dr. Javed explained how the day would go, and we had a short presentation from the financial aid specialist. Then I had 3 different interviews. Plan on some down-time in between interviews. After my interviews, we had lunch and met with the rest of the admissions committee along with a few students. Afterwards, we had some time to talk with students without faculty present. Next we toured the Dental History museum and toured the relevant portion of the campus.
