How did you prepare for the interview?

I asked some friends in the dental program what to expect from the interview.

What impressed you positively?

I was most impressed with their laid back, friendly demeanor. After reading all the terrible responses posted about UF on SDN, I was very much impressed with how relaxed I felt throughout my interview. Dr. Sposetti was a sweetheart! I never felt that they were out to get me in any way. They truly seemed interested in what I had to say. My experience at UF was by far, the best interview I have had!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing! I love UF!!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had already gone to several Open houses at UF, so I totally knew what to expect from the school and the dental program.

What are your general comments?

Overall, my interview experience at UF was excellent--the staff and student guides were great, and the doctors who interviewed me were very nice! If you are a Florida resident, you should not pass by the opportunity for an interview at UF!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
