How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, looked at the website, read my personal statement and practiced what I was going to say.

What impressed you positively?

I really liked the school and hope to get in there. Boston is a great city. The sim lab is fairly new. Everything was just really nice and the people are very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is right in the middle of China Town and I hate Chinese food. Other than that the school is great but it is VERY expensive but I knew that going in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you really don't have time to eat lunch. They give you lunch while you are suppose to talk to dental students and then they call you for the actual interview. I was too nervous to eat anyways!

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a great experience. The morning was filled with presentations on the curriculm and cost. Mark knows everything about the school and is a great person to talk to. My interviewer was awesome, it really was more of a conversation-it didn't feel like an interview at all. Then you get to talk to dental students and one went to undergrad where I am now so that was cool.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
