✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mostly via Gavins posts on SDN. I also have a friend that is a member of the admissions committee.

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum, the technology, access to the top academic minds of dentistry in the US. No tenured faculty. Dean Dillenberg.

What impressed you negatively?

No school tour. The students were on a break that day, there was not many to talk to. Those that were there were a little odd (except Gavin). Lack of specific information on the curriculum, faculty, etc. With only one class of students there, it is impossible to understand what four years will be like at this school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The importance of being able to talk to the current students. There would not be a tour of the school.

What are your general comments?

Luckily I live here in Mesa, otherwise I may have felt like I wasted money on the trip. After being highly impressed with UoP and BU, my experience here was almost a let down. I still think this school is in my top two or at least three choices. The interview was more like an interview where they asked me some questions, but it wasn't too stressful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
