How did you prepare for the interview?

I read and answered some of the questions mention on SDN, also I reviewed the emphasis LLU take on applicants. Read information related to the school and SDA church.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was truly interested in who I was and what I believe. It is a school that look at the whole person: not just numbers. It seems to be highly selective on their admissions for certain values.

What impressed you negatively?

It is in the same boring area I grew up in, but I knew that to began with. Too many questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I known that LLU gives short essays. I would have brought my pocket electronic spell checker.

What are your general comments?

It is a school that does not look solely at GPA or DAT, but do not think that they are less selective for that. Just expect to be asked question related to family, religion, and dentistry. If you are married, know the anniversary date and how you met; just easy points with a silly story. Be sure to know how religion has influenced you life.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
