How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a little about the school; although I have to say that their website was not very informative about the school. I definitely tried to find info about the school that I couldn't really find on their website.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The clinic and sim lab was really nice. The students and faculty all seem really happy to be there. I really liked how much emphasis is put on clinical work. I also LOVE San Francisco! (besides the cost of course)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Only about 20% specialize after graduation. They also make you buy a laptop when you get there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

UOP doesn't really have specialty programs there. There is ortho there, and the only other specialty they have is oral surgery, but it's on the Oakland campus --> therefore, the dental students get to treat the really complex cases that come in, which is great experience for the dental student.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was very laid back. Everyone was really friendly. The whole process is very well organized. You have one one hour interview with a faculty member, and then one half hour interview by a student. They buy you lunch :)...and, there's a Coffee Bean across the street....yay!
