What are your general comments?

I had a good time the process was very relaxed and comfortable. The interviewers made sure to make you feel welcome. I showed up and had my interview, later the group of five other applicants ate lunch with students and went on our tour of just 3-4 rooms, not a lot of explanation. I would have liked to se more. Late we as a group met with the asst. Dean and had a helpful and good conversation about what the school is looking for in the future and the type of care it is looking to provide and some tidbits on dentistry. That summed things up and we were let go.
