How did you prepare for the interview?

1)Read school information on the internet 2)Read-up on dental procedures on the ADA website 3)read over my AADSAS application and secondary application for UWSOD

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers reminded me that, "I wasn't in an interrogation...and that I should just relax because they just wanted to get to know me." The admissions office staff including Kathleen Craig, Dr. James Steiner, Molly, Ms. Brown and the woman at the desk were all very kind and helpful. The students were very nice...most offered me their email addresses and a few D-3/D-4 students asked if I wanted to follow them around the clinic. My interviewers, Dr. Toolson and Dr. Maebo we're very amiable and after the interview, Dr. maebo asked me to shadow him during his restorative clinic session, where he introduced me to lots of students and Doctors and walked me through lots of procedures that the students were doing.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the parking attendant in lot E-11 WILL not give you your $$ back when you try to validate your parking pass.

What are your general comments?

I read the review just before mine, and I don't understand how that person could have felt that way...maybe they had a tougher pair of interviews and that soured their experience from the get go...? I am really hoping to get into UWSOD!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
