How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over the website and checked out SDN. It was very low-key.

What impressed you positively?

Almost everything...very strong and solid clincal training, very warm and supportive community of students and faculty, gorgeous brand-new clinical building, and the current dental students were really enthusiastic and proud to be there.

What impressed you negatively?

Just the fact that the school is located in Newark; but at the same time its kind of a double-edged sword, because this location provides the students with such an abundance of patients and they are exposed to some amazing clinical cases.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be absolutely nothing to stress over.

What are your general comments?

I really liked the fact that we got the interviews overwith at the very beginning of the day. My interviewer was such a nice guy and made me feel completely relaxed. He pretty much just let me ask questions the whole time. The powerpoint presentation given about the school was really thorough, as was the financial aid presentation. We had two tours...one buy a faculty member, and then the students showed took us on another tour. All the students were really helpful and honest. Everyone did a great job of making us (the interviewees) feel extremely welcome.
