What are your general comments?

Stop wasting applicant's time by ONLY giving out interviews that they are TRULY interested in having. If you look at the class population, majority of them are rich kids, their parents are doctors or some kind of professionals....Not much diversity really going on. I felt really out of place since I wasn't one of them.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What does your name mean?

What was the most interesting question?

Interesting and stupid at the same time - how much does your parents make? (After I told them the answer) Can you even afford for dental school?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN forum, friends, UWSOD website

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me about yourself. So vague...

What impressed you positively?

Lunch food

What impressed you negatively?

Interviewers. Here's the thing, even though people are given interviews I strongly believe the interviewers know who they want and who they do not want BEFORE the interview, period. I felt like they weren't interested in me and asked me a lot of dumb, non-dental related questions. What a waste.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How unprepared and biased UWSOD is with the application process. How cocky they are.
