What was the most difficult question?

As interviewers, we have the opportunity to plead your case to the larger admissions committee... Knowing that we represent you, and if I told you I can tell them anything you want me to, what would you want me to tell them?

The amount of space dedicated to the dental schools (ie. all the chairs, all the post-doc training, etc)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer who interviewed me was very negative and I felt berated many times.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the Dean snowboards: it could have made for good small talk around lunch. Too bad I only found out near the end. You can leave your coat/bags with one of the secretaries of the Admissions Committee - it's less awkward than leaving it at the patient scheduling desk :( lol... The school is really big, and the tour is really small - you barely see any of it. So if you really want to see the school, schedule a full one (there are two campuses).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Seems like a great school with many opportunities... The students seem pretty happy with their choices and the city doesn't seem as boring as others make it out to be - sounds like they have a lot of fun in Buffalo.
