No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over possible questions, read SDN experiences for UDM and other dental schools, researched school

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so genuinely nice and sincere, not only at my interview but with every contact I've had with the school throughout the year...UDM is known for its awesome clinical experience and its new facility

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was very quick and given by the admissions secretary because no student was available. She was as helpful as she could be but the student led tours are probably better. I had previously taken a tour at the UDM open house that was much more informative.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I love this school and although I have interviews at 4 other schools I am canceling them because UDM is my first choice. I love that they are always keeping me updated on my application through the mail and also that the school itself never acts like its too good for anyone. For example, rather than saying "Your DAT score is too low for us, you'll never get in" they suggest that you probably were not as prepared as you could have been and they would like to see you take the test again and improve. YES ITS IN A BAD AREA but that is an asset because of all the patients that come to the school for care. You get an amazing clinical experience compared to other schools. I was accepted 3 days after my interview.
