What are your general comments?
The school is incredible. I really don't know if there is another school in the country that has such advanced facilities. I felt pretty comfortable during the day, and the students there seemed pretty chill.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How do you think we can solve the problem of access to care in underserved populations? Is the solution in government or in our profession?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN feedback (almost all of my questions were right out of the feedback), stayed the night before with a current Maryland dental student.

What impressed you positively?
When I arrived I was greeted by a very professional administrator, given a personalized itinerary for the day, a bottle of water, and pack of cookies. The facilities were the best that I have ever seen (even after interviewing at Midwestern and a few other newer schools). Every lecture is video recorded and posted online so that you can go back and watch any portion of it again. The faculty were very professional and inviting. They definitely maintained the proper student/faculty relationship, but they made it clear that they are there to help you.
What impressed you negatively?
As I was walking to the school I passed a restaurant that had all of the windows broken out the night before. Baltimore, like any big city, has its share of crime. The school has excellent security, however. Key card controlled access and 24 hour security.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you get there early (the interview doesn't start until 11!) and have a laptop, you can access the wireless network without a password.
