What impressed you positively?

the clinics were remodeled in the past few years, students were friendly as well as the dentists "monitoring" the clinical floor, food at lunch was supah dupah.

What impressed you negatively?

1960's pre-clinics (but the students didn't mind working on typodonts); interview was standard

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

less than 10% of students specialize

What are your general comments?

all interviewees shadowed a 4th year as he/she worked on a patient. this was a great and informative. i had an opportunity to chat with one of the dentists who was helping students out and he seemed really, really caring, patient, and helpful. it would be great to be surrounded by faculty like him, and according to students, 90% of the faculty is fab. the interview was stressful in the sense it wasn't conversational. it was question then answer. new question then answer. new question then answer. not really my cup of tea, but i imagine some students prefer such a format.
