How did you prepare for the interview?

I just read some prior interview experiences on this site and I thought of how I would answer potential questions

What impressed you positively?

Everything! The dean of admissions spent the whole day with us and was very laid back. The sim lab was unbelievable and the students were very friendly and complimentary of the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Absolutely nothing. The campus is a typical downtown campus, but I was impressed by the lengths that they go to for excellent security.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really, just not to stress out so much I guess.

What are your general comments?

This interview was probably one of the most laid back atmospheres I have ever been in. Dr. Coleman is such a nice and friendly person and he was very quick to let us know that his number one objective was to let us in to school, keep us there, and graduate us as the most clinically prepared dentists possible. The whole day was mainly for our benefit so that we could see exactly what the school was like. The actual interview part was very brief with about 4 faculty and 1 student. Each basically asked one or two questions and that was it. They really want to let you into school, they just want to make sure that you're there for the right reasons. With this school there was really an atmosphere of "innocent until proven guilty" instead of the other way around.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
