this site and UCONN's

What impressed you positively?

The interview was very organized. The students I met were all very nice. Dr. Thibidoue was very informative not just with UCONN but on choosing the right Dental School.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer did not even look at my file until I arrived. She also was part of the Med school and didn't even know a think about dentistry. She wasn't able to answer any questions about the Dental School except to say it is a very good program. Clinics were dark and cold. Building was impressive looking like Ceasar's Place, but confusing. Did not like the emphasis on how demanding the curriculum is...wherever you go Dental School is demanding and if your not ready for it you shouln't be applying. Also, community looked quiet and dead.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall the faculty and students were nice. They do take a different approach with basic sciences combined with Med on a Pass/Fail basis. I got the feeling that the students were overworked and tired. That probably during there 1st 2 years they were miserable and know in the later they are happy for experience they have learned. Community is in beautiful quiet suburbia. Students made reference to not too much excitement in the area.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
