How did you prepare for the interview?

I personally find "preparing" for interviews to be counter productive. Thus, I didn't really do much beyond read the interview offer letter and get a good nights rest.

What impressed you positively?

-Nice facility -Very well organized interview schedule. -Free (and lots of) parking -Dean came to personally speak with us. -Lower cost of living in area -The interview didn't drag on all day. We were done by noon, nice because those who needed to leave could, but those who wanted to stick around could do that too and explore on their own. -The dental students seemed happy and were eager to answer questions. -I personally found the geography interview questions to be a bit fun, sort of like a game, which helped lower my stress during the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

-Tuition is not necessarily a bargain. -Not too racially/ethnically diverse. -Personally, for some reason people just seem to be a bit rude in the Phoenix metro area. -No mention of research opportunities (understandably since the school is rather new). -No place to grab a bit to eat in the main building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have had more questions prepared with respect to the schools clinical curriculum and future research opportunities.

What are your general comments?

A pleasant day overall. The group interaction workshop took a little time to get used to but it worked out OK. My interviewers were very friendly and personable. At first I thought the social science type questions were some sort of joke, but I could see their purpose and I personally found them to be kind of fun. After I left the interview I personally felt very impressed with the school. It was a very, very well organized day.
