How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Umich web site, reviewed my app

What impressed you positively?

Nice sim labs. While the largest research school, clinical opportunities are there for those who are proactive with the faculty to get the experience.

What impressed you negatively?

The idea of sitting in the same lecture hall from 9-5, but its grad school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I found out the night before that there was an essay. Mine was the pros/cons of using live vs. manequins (sp?)for regional boards. Pretty easy... some other essays I heard about included amalgams vs. composites and the #1 issue facing dentists today.

What are your general comments?

YOu can get teh clinical experience, but it wont come to you. If you go out and get it by showing interest, it is there. If you want to do some research... they get some 1 out of every 3 NIH dollars (Dont quote me on that)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
