I wish I had known how bad the school really was. Hindsight, I wouldn't have wasted my time and money going there otherwise. Extremely disappointing.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a dentist?
What was the most interesting question?
In what way have you assisted the dentist you shadowed?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Went over AADSAS file, and dental school info from the Indiana website. Prepared for a PBL question that never came.
What was the most difficult question?
A question relating directly to my personal statement.
What impressed you positively?
That the city had virtually no traffic, anywhere, period.
What impressed you negatively?
Too many things, but here we go. The dental students were continuously saying, ''don't come here?'' They had about five simulation chairs that were unused collecting dust. Otherwise everybody was practicing to be a dentist using 20 year old technology, consisting of generic ceramic models, and bunsen burners. A dental student overheard us talk about PBL and showed his utter disdain for the lame learning system. No lunch was served. The interviewees had to gather in a crowded makeshift office before the interview, while an arrogant Dr. Kasberg bragged about graduating from Yale, and reiterated how decrepit the school was.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How the dental education of some schools is largely inferior to other schools, despite the fact that their tuition is enormously steep, and will put a potential dentist neck deep in debt for 30 years+.
