Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I had lunch with a couple of students, and they were awesome. The director of admissions is the nicest lady I could have hoped to meet. The facilities are top notch. The faculty seemed to have good relations with students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was a standard questionnaire. I didn't feel like the interview really served its purpose. The best conversation we had was the 5 min before and after the questioning.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview really didn't seem play much of a role at all in your application.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interview process is very low stress. The admissions director speaks to you first, and she is so nice. She puts you at ease in a second. You then go to meet your interviewer. You make small talk for a couple of minutes in their office then the questionnaire starts. After the questions, you talk about whatever for a couple of minutes. Finally, you meet a dental student to go on a tour, and you eat lunch with them and their friends.
