What are your general comments?

Maryland is a good school, and will be fantastic school once the new school is finished. All new equipment and state of the art everything will be great. The interview starts with an introduction to the school and then a financial aide overview, and finally with a tour of the school and then the interview. Overall it was well organized and the dental student all looked happy to be there.

Where do you see yourself practicing and how will it be managed?

What impressed you positively?

The new school will be awesome, and will have the best technology around. They have a good mix of research and clinical training so if you're undecided upon the twp fields you can have a good background in both. The local seafood is wonderful, if you like crab.

What impressed you negatively?

The city around the dental school is pretty ghetto. If you are not usd to living in a big eastcoast city it would be a switch. The cost of living is very high especially if you're looking to buy a home.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview wouldnt be stressful or a grill session at all. Also there is so much to do in Baltimore and the surrounding area like D.C. and such that I wish I had more time to tour the area.
