How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, Creighton's website & brochures
What impressed you positively?
Creighton is the only US dental school that has no specialties, so instead of difficult cases going to the specialties, DDS students get great clinical experience. The dental outreach in the Dominican Republic sounded really cool.
Omaha didn't seem like a half-bad city either.
What impressed you negatively?
I thought I would receive something in the mail with details about coming to the interview, with parking info, the itinerary, etc., but no cigar. Not a big deal
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I was just glad that I left with enough time to find parking and not be late!
What are your general comments?
Very relaxed and pleasant experience. Dr. Ayers was so nice and Patti Churchill, also with administration, did a wonderful job of calming my nerves as I waited to talk to Dr. Ayers. The school was very nice. I felt very positive about the whole experience.
