SDN, read through the website.

What impressed you positively?

Clinics were all being/have been updated, all students seemed very happy with their choice of attending NYU, many opportunities to get help with academics, Sim Labs and overall facilities were very nice. The surrounding location is very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Price, very little on-campus housing, Price, Class size, Price

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew that NYU had a large class size of about 220 but I did not know that after the first year 150 MORE foreign trained dentists are thrown in the mix creating a class size of >350 the remaining years!!!

What are your general comments?

The interview was extremely laid back and conversational however I felt like the interviewer was indirectly talking me out of choosing NYU (after I told him where else I applied, he basically talked up those schools and proceeded to tell me how expensive NYU is). There are MANY rumors out there about NYU, all of which were truthfully debunked during the interview and tour. NYU does not kick people out, there are so many opportunities for tutoring and what not that people that do fail out must be trying to. I went into this interview thinking it would just be a practice for my top schools however I really liked the school and would definitely consider it if I ever got over the cost of living in NYC!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would have like to tour the school prior to the interview.
