How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at UCSF brochures, website, and talked to many friends.

What impressed you positively?

The school is located in beautiful San Francisco and their Research opportunites.

What impressed you negatively?

Shotty facilities. The students at the other schools I interviewed at seemed a lot more happy and had more enthusiasm than UCSF students. I might be wrong but that's the impression I got.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Since I had gone to other interviews, I think I was pretty prepared for this one.

What are your general comments?

What's all the hoot about UCSF? It's a good school, but why are all these people blowing it out of proportion? I'm sure the education a student receive's is top notch, but I think other schools have more to offer in terms of clinical preparation. I suggest that if you want to specialize take a look at UCSF, but there are many other dental schools with better facilities and same type of top notch education that can help you get into a specialty.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
