How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over questions with parents. I wrote down the answers and went over them. Although, most questions I reviewed were never actually asked!

What impressed you positively?

All the students seemed very community oriented, and were very close-nit. They emphasized that they were not competing against each other because they were all entering the same great field--dentistry! They share notes, old tests, play IM sports together. One of the deans shared some personal stories about life and not giving up--it was very personal and reassuring.

What impressed you negatively?

At first the recruiting guy is a little intimidating, but he is really friendly, and wants you to get the most out of the day!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

It went really well. I felt that I connected with my interviewer, and that I left a positive impression about myself with him/her. The school is very family-like in that everyone is friendly and wants each other to succeed. The students were excited to be there, and they have a strong emphasis on clinical (begining 2nd semester of 2nd year) and a strong emphasis on research. Also, they have about 93% pass of national boards.
