No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school via their website... make sure you know about problem-based learning!!! I also prepared answers to typical interview questions

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of everyone I met, including staff, faculty, and students.

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of technology, really small library.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My letter told me that I would be interviewed by the Admissions Committee, so I thought it was going to be a large panel. It turned out to be only two people: one faculty, one student, and a local dentist was supposed to be there but didn't show up.

What are your general comments?

I got there way too early and had to sit in the library for an hour, feeling really out of place and I kept getting more and more worried about the interview while I was waiting. The interview was really laid-back though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
