✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

look over my AADSAS application, personal statement, read interview feedbacks, look over the UOP website, and talk to current UOP students.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really nice and respectful. They want to answer all of your questions and be as helpful as possible. You will have a lot of opportunity to work on difficult cases since there are only 2 postgrad programs there (oral surgery and ortho) ie. you get to do all the hard endo cases.

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition... ~$250,000 for only 3 years of dental school education.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have applied earlier because the entering class at UOP fills up quickly... it was full in Januaray while my interview was in Feb. Although I did well at the interview, I was automatically put onto the waiting list.

What are your general comments?

Overall, UOP is a great dental school with its goal to produce excellent clinicians. The facilities are new and top-notch. The students and professors and staffs are very nice and respectful. It would definitely be my 1st choice if the tuition was a little lower... but you do get out in 3 years!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
