Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The staff and faculty are very friendly. The chair of the admissions committee makes it clear that they are not there to make you nervous and that philosophy shows in the interviews. They're much more conversational than interrogational.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really other than learning that there is no way that the class I would be entering with will be able to utilize the new dental building since they are still waiting on funding and ground hasn't been broken yet.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. This is the second time I applied.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The day begins at 8:30AM. You'll want to arrive earlier to get your interview schedule, name tag, and to have your picture taken for their reference. Dr. Javed, the chair of the admissions committee, will give a brief intro and then Jerone McDaniel will then go over Financial Aid Services. Then from 9AM to noon are interviews. At noon, prospective applicants, professors and current dental students have lunch. After awhile, the professors will leave and the current dental students will field questions from applicants until 1PM. At 1PM is the campus tour and then interviews continue from 2 to 3PM. Depending on the schedule you receive, you could be done with interviews before lunch.
