How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

Facilities were nice overall, systems based curriculum taught in modules of 1 subject at a time, part 1 of boards taken BEFORE you go into clinic, so you can focus on studying, teamwork approach that the students have with preparing study guides and studying for exams

What impressed you negatively?

price, school in the middle of nowhere, parking seemed a bit of a problem, 4th year is composed of 3 or 4 rotations that are 4-6 weeks long each, and they are all over US. Between each rotation, you spend time at a community health clinic in Phoenix. Not cool if you have a family, b/c they can't go with you...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I won't post specific questions asked of me, but I will say that if I were in your shoes, I would not bother studying geography, political, or current event questions :). For my interview at least, they seemed to be more interested in getting to know me and why I was interested in ASDOH and dentistry and public health. There were 2 dental faculty members asking the questions, and a D2 student who sat in on the interview and listened. They do still have a group activity and the manual dexterity exercise, but niether is the sort of thing that you can prepare for. Just relax and go with the flow, and everything should be ok. There are people taking notes during everything, so I think they just want to see how you work under pressure and how you work within a group.
