No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my essay and tried to plan answers to anticipated questions. (why do you want to be a dentist?.......duh)

What impressed you positively?

Basically everything. During the interview I actually learned things I didn't know just through general chit chat. Lunch was great, simulation labs were phenomenol (generous alumni). Amazing weather. Best part....CHEAP TUITION!! (for Florida people)

What impressed you negatively?

Lecture halls looked a bit lackluster, which surprised me because the dental school is one of the youngest in the country.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The whole day in general is good, but on the lengthy side. You really learn a lot about the school and the dental profession in general there, but they can probably condense it some.

What are your general comments?

Great overall interview. The committee was nice, and very down to earth with me. They make you understand that they aren't out to pummel you, and that they just want to get to meet you and know you better. I asked around at the lunch and apparently it is their policy to give you no idea of your status until the letter comes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
