What impressed you positively?

Friendly faculty, staff, student. The fact that many UCLA students do exceptionally well on NB I. High specialty matching rate. Nice clinical facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

Rising tuition, patient population concerns,

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were no real surprises but I was stressed with the fact that two faculty member will ask me questions regarding my essay. ( I wasn't sure if it'll be good enough)

What are your general comments?

UCLA School of Dentistry is in the very nice neighborhood. I love the surrounding college community and So Cal weather is awesome. The clinical facilities weren't as bad as other people described. I thought it was nice. The faculty member were all very approachable and easy to talk to. The main thing that got to me was the 2 page essay, but you don't need to sweat if you're a good writer. If not, don't worry. I suck at writing as you can tell by now but I got my acceptance email 3 days later. Good luck!
