What impressed you positively?

Facilities were nicer than I expected. Clinics are beautiful looking out towards the pacific ocean. The staff and students were VERY nice and accomidating. The school is top-notch for sure. I like that the dental school is attached to the med school/ hospital. It is a bustling, intoxicating atmosphere of academia and learning. Also, all the other applicants I met were quite nice and talkative. Overall it was a fun visit.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Great school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing new discovered.

What are your general comments?

The student interview was great. I felt we had a rapport withing minutes of meeting. Very laid back and relaxed. Told me up front that I shouldn't be stessed out that he just wanted to learn about me. Faculity interview was a bit stressful. My interviewer vollied question after question, some difficult some standard, one after another with little follow-up to each inital question. I wasn't asked to elaborate on any particular question but I couldn't get a good read on him because he didn't show any emotions really.
