What impressed you positively?
Digital X-ray machine. That's it.
What impressed you negatively?
Very lousy school, overpriced, located in a bad ghetto area and the dental students were not satisfied with their education. In fact I spoke to two dental students who highly encouraged me to attend a different dental school. There were also some jerk dental students who had this cocky attitude toward me. The faculties also didn't seem to be friendly and were cold and distant.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The attitude of some of the dental students and how cold the instructors are at USC's dental school.
What are your general comments?
It's not your typical interview. Basically a group session that reflects a PBL situation. All you have to do is yap like a hungry dog and you get the attention by the admissions people watching you like a lab rat.
