What impressed you positively?

the energetic people, the new equipment, the individual operating

What impressed you negatively?

my interviewer kepted yawning....that's prolly my fault though. some parts of the building had poor lighting which produced an eerie, uncomfortable atmosphere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I learned that interviews are not supposed to frighten people. They just want to see if you can carry on a good conversation for more than 5 minutes....something every dentist should be able to do.

What are your general comments?

This interview had a strong Texan flavor: it was energetic, very friendly, confident. Great clinical skills are almost guaranteed at the school. Academix are taken very seriously at this school, though the students seem to know how to have fun w/ sports, alcohol, etc. If I ever get accepted and have to turn it down for some reason, I know I will be very sad. Word of advice: eat lots of fiber the night before....I caught one of my interview group member taking a dump; from the sound of things, he was having a lot of trouble. just imagine the fear he felt!
