How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talked to the dental students and those who have been interviewed recently.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, school location, and how nice and helpful everyone was.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't get enough time to talk about what I what my interviewer know about me. They just ask me their questions and told me the time is up! So try to kinda squeeze in and relate to what you want them to know about you, in your answers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I will be given enough time to talk about my volunteer activities, research ...; didn't really happen! After all you want them to remember you, and not just sitting there answering the typical questions with typical answers!

What are your general comments?

Make sure you have answers for the general questions like, ''why dentistry?'', and ''why UNC?''. But, be careful not to let the know that have just memorized an answer...pause for a few seconds, think and answer. Be honest, smile(when appropriate!), and be polite and show some enthusiasm.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
