How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked with some dental students before going; read the website; read my essay.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. I loved my experience at HSDM. Students and faculty seemed really friendly. There seems to be an unlimited amount of opportunity as a dental student there. I really like the pass/fail system as well as the fact that they don't rank their students because it decreases the amount of competition between students.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. The only thing is that it seems like the dental students have to work extremely hard....even harder than the medical students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That most people specialize after receiving their DDS from HSDM.

What are your general comments?

I LOVED Harvard. I really felt like it as an amazing school that gives their students an excellent education.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
