Visited School and SDN

What impressed you positively?

Large program. This school recieved to most in research funding dollars last year of all dental schools. Friendly admissions staff.

What impressed you negatively?

The labs were kind of old but other areas are quite nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is very limited parking.

What are your general comments?

I did the Early Admissions Program. I think they will only let you into it if you are a resident or from a neighboring state with a contract. Do EAP if you can, it will really help your chances at getting in. During the interview they just asked a list a general questions, nothing to personal.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
