No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Really thought about what kind of person I am, what I want to do with my life, what motivations or goals I have for dentistry, what kind of dentist I want to be, etc...

What impressed you positively?

Their community outreach program: They put a big emphasis on their involvement or service to the community. Thier clinical training program is nice. It is called "Comprehensive care". It allows students to expose to a total management of pateints' care, as opposed to a system of block clinics in other schools.

What impressed you negatively?

The new building will be completed in late 2005, not in early 2005.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They get the second largest reseach funding from NIH.

What are your general comments?

The interview started with a question, "Tell me about yourself," and as I told them about myself, they asked me A LOT OF questions that were related with what I said. They really wanted to learn about me, and my motivation for dentistry (not in a superficial level at all). I liked it and appreciated it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
