How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed application, went over basic questions- why dentistry..etc

What impressed you positively?

loved the staff, the person who interviewed me was fabulous and most of all the fact that specialty acceptance are quite high

What impressed you negatively?

just the 12 interview-ees who were there with me were insanely- 'proper' with 3 masters a peice speaking way too seriously, using big words to impress the dental students who were so chilled. also, the administration flaunts the 'ivy league' aspect too much

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that its way more intimidating. if you have an interview, it means you have a damn good chance of getting in- dont feel threatened by other students.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed the tour- the Dent SIM lab was incredible, the students that provided tours and info were sharp and honest. It felt like a team.
