⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

5 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Ok. The facilities are so nice that the school can sell itself. The stress level seems very high though. Quality of education will be excellent.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your hometown and why you chose to go to X University.

What was the most interesting question?

What upper-division biology classes did you take?

How did you prepare for the interview?

practice questions, read questions, look up info on the school and other schools

What was the most difficult question?

What did you learn in your upper-division biology classes, including genetics?

What impressed you positively?

very very nice facilities, sure to get a high-quality education here; labs

What impressed you negatively?

stress..everyone seems stressed out (except for fourth-years); not as laid back here as the other two dental schools in Texas. The staff were not nearly as friendly either (the profs were ok). Called for directions/help and no one picked up. Office people ignore you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A student from this school contacts you ahead of time to answer questions (is not at all part of interview evaluation so you can ask/say anything). This is a very nice and welcoming gesture. Also, one interview is from a student (much more easy-going!)
