What impressed you positively?

everything is new

What impressed you negatively?

the curriculum is an attempt to be innovative but it is going to fail. They say that they will prepare you for your boards after the first year but they scored less than the national average on their boards. They don't have a clinic yet. When you start your third year they are going to send you out to different clinics rather than have you stay at the school and learn how to do it correctly. The school is TOO osteopathic. Their philosophy is that the total health is just as important as the dentistry, which is true, but we are studying to become DENTISTS! The school is extremely small. There are only two classrooms. I could go on and on but I'll stop here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it isn't a real dental school. I have been to 7 interviews so far and am convinced that ADSOH will not prepare their students to be competent.

What are your general comments?

This school may be for some but it is not for me. I enjoyed some aspects of the school but the majority of the procedures and highlights were sketchy. I wouldn't go here if I got in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
