⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Negatively ☹️
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
"i'm just trying to get a C in each class to pass so I can take over my dad's private practice"- tour guide...
that was the sentiment running through everything that was presented to us. you pay loads of money to feel like you're on a dentistry conveyer belt, just try to pass and just get through school so you can go right into filling cavities non-stop for the rest of your life.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
"so how's school going for you this semester?" (i've been out of college for two years and my essay described all the research i've done. she didn't read my application)
How did you prepare for the interview?
school's website
What impressed you positively?
i was not impressed at all. but if i had to pick something, the facilities were new.
What impressed you negatively?
everything. i felt like the place was a dentist factory. they made no attempt at making anything personal. the lady couldn't even sign acceptance letters. they sent me a photocopy of the letter i think. nothing about the interview day was professional in the least. the interviewer could tell i was overqualified for the school (no offense, sorry)and it was evident she didn't even bother to read over my application before interviewing me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that if you have even thought about specializing or deing research or academics, don't go to BU.
if you want to finish school and go into general dentistry, go to BU. don't waste your time and money at other schools.
