How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked up some common interview questions on the web and read my application. I practiced some of the questions with my predental friends that had an interview at OHSU.

What impressed you positively?

Everybody was very nice. Beginning with the secretary and the dean of admissions made us so comfortable even before the interview started. The students, professors and especially the interviewer were very nice and approachable. I was impressed by the new sim lab, the low tuition costs and the ranking of the school in clinical hours and pass rate on national board exams (100% in the last few years)

What impressed you negatively?

The school needs some remodeling but everything else was good.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How nice everybody is, they made me feel at home. I heard some bad interview experiences before so I was a little stressed. The interviewer made me very comfortable by asking some general questions about my life experiences.

What are your general comments?

The interviewer was very nice, he just wanted to know some things about me. It was open file so he seemed to know a lot of detailed things before the interview started. Be ready to explain some personal questions from your essay, grades, DAT scores ...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
