How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through website, relaxed

What impressed you positively?

The intimate setting and low stress level. Also, the fact that only 8 or so other students were there interviewing. Each student was assigned to a senior dental student that we observed and talked to while they performed clinical work. This was AWESOME!

What impressed you negatively?

No simulation lab. I get the impression that I would recieve quality instruction in pre-clinic, but In other interviews I have seen some impressive pre-clinical simulation labs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really...

What are your general comments?

I had a really wonderful time. The faculty and students were all very nice. We started with a comprehensive tour (with clinical observation), followed by an information session about financing dental school. We had lunch and then had the formal interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
