What impressed you positively?
great facilities
What impressed you negatively?
I am really not trying to be negative, however I lost respect for the school at the interview. When we were served lunch, all the dental students came in and were each handed a file. Instead of us being able to talk to the students, they were frantically reading our files and personal statements (gpas and dats excluded). We were then taken by a student and had a very casual conversation. He didn't ask anything about me and when I tried to answer a question like I was at an interview, he seemed disinterested. I just lose respect for a school that does not use the interview time to really get to know their applicants. No need to prepare for this interview.
