What impressed you positively?

Very little. The school seemed less interested in training dentists to handle a small business atmosphere, which is the reality of dentistry. They want their students to serve the community for a small salary (meaning, give service to underprivilaged minorities. This would be okay if dental school didn't cost 250,000 dollars. The reality of the situation is that dentists need to make a lot of money in order to pay off their loans and avoid going broke, at least initially. I don't think the school's philosophy is based in reality and I don't think it's curriculum is designed to make their graduates successful in the field of dentistry. I did well in the interview (as my interviewers congratulated me afterwards), however, I felt that the interview was "looking beyond the mark" in that it was more of a test of my knowledge rather than a search into my ideals. I think they need to make some changes in order to attract better applicants.
