Bought a nice tie ;)

What impressed you positively?

Great facilities and lots of opportunites to explore the various fields of dentistry you are interested in. Ann Arbor is a pretty city.

What impressed you negatively?

Pricetag - especially for an out-of-stater like myself

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was a short timed writing exercise near the beginning of the day on a dental-related question.

What are your general comments?

It appeared to me that Michigan's philosophy of the whole interview process was much less about ranking or scoring the prospective dental students and more about helping them know more about the program and making the right decision. The interview is very casual, during the hour lunch break. Mine was conducted standing up, really just a friendly casual conversation. It was fun to visit with the other predents (there was a group of 35!). Everyone had a great time. The faculty were friendly and tried to be honest about the school. They did not go on and on about how great their school was like I have seen at other dental schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
