How did you prepare for the interview?

read sdn, read interview feedback, rehearsed my answers to the typical interview questions. I also went through their website and came up with questions to ask the interviewers.

What impressed you positively?

Buffalo is very cheap. That was nice. I liked how you have your own chair for your 3rd and 4th year. And the entire dental building is wireless.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather was gorgeous, but I've heard horror stories about the winters. Be sure to have warm clothes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview went very well. Two days prior, I got an email informing me that they would want us to complete a writing sample in 10 minutes. So, as part of the process, we had to do this writing assignment. Other than that, the interview was great. Buffalo is a great school for the price. All total, when you factor in living expenses, it costs half as much as a private school in a big city (NYU, Tufts, BU, Temple, UPenn). The staff was very friendly and the students really seemed to enjoy it. Some of the students had turned down acceptances at some top schools to come to UB.
