⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Be prepared to sit and listen for a while. The day goes by quickly, you start by giving a writing sample, you have 15 minutes, our topic was "list the pros and cons of using manikins on the state licensure exams." The interview is dependent on the faculty member you draw. I had a research oriented person that really pounded home that I'd get bored with dentistry and should do research, i thought that was a little weird but sometimes you play along.
