How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on current big topics in dentistry and browsed through the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

The overall organization of the interview and presentation of the school was excellent. The faculty and students were extremely welcoming and approachable. Furthermore, the newly rennovated teaching lab on the fourth floor looks amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing negative about the school. The only downside is the availability of parking around the Westwood area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school's facilities are relatively new and that students are not bound by limitations in resources.

What are your general comments?

I found my interview experience to be extremely gratifying. The professor who interviewed me was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. Overall, the students as well as staff members were very welcoming. The school's program really aims to prepare students for a solid career in general practice or as a strong foundation for those who want to specialize afterwards. I was very impressed by everything UCLA dental has to offer- it's no wonder they have such a strong reputation in the field.
