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!)

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
