nothing

What are your general comments?

Long tour of the school with admisssions staff. Then financial aid talk. Then more specific questions adressed by admissions coordinator. Then lunch with other dental students and in the middle of the lunch you get taken out to do your interview (So get your food first and eat fast so you don't have a bite in your mouth when they call you. Also, I suggest eating fruit, so your breath doesn't stink.) Then back to the room to address more questions.
