None really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were more non-traditional applicants and dental students than I had thought.

What are your general comments?

There were two one-on-one interviews at HSDM, whereas at other schools, there were only one interview. The interviews were very relaxing, but they asked a lot of questions. It was interesting that some questions two interviewers asked were identical. I had to say same things twice.
