SDN

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

More research funding than they know how to spend. Lots of money for students if they are willing to research.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Each student is read a list of 30-40 questions and given ~1 minute to answer each one. The interview is recorded. The interviewer doesn't talk, or respond to anything you say, so it is like you are talking to yourself.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you like research than there are limitless opportunities. There is a 4 year research scholarship that pays ~$7,500 a year in-state or ~$14,000 out-of-state for students willing to commit to 4 years of resarch ~10 hours a week. If you are interested you should apply for the 4 year scholarship BEFORE november! Many other reseach scholorships available for the taking.

What are your general comments?

Arrive in the morning. Meet and greet with other students. 45 minute lame interview. Really cool tour of the school by student. Clinic is new and professional. Nice sim lab, with plenty of new technology. I was impressed that they are taught CEREC during dental school. I was told they are the only school in the nation training on CEREC.
