What was the most interesting question?

Did you know about the President being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? I didn't because it had only happened this morning and this morning i was more concerned with my outfit and my hair than the news. But considering just how current these events were I don't think he held it against me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

not to sound like a nerd but their work load is really heavy and to me that's a good thing. they have the MAPS program (which is like a prep for the actual dental school) and tutoring and a lot of educational support. their facilities seemed pretty up to par. everyone was friendly and sweet. they seemed really generous with financial aid too.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

it starts in june but i guess they have to in order to get students into the prep-like program.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing. everything was generally explained before hand.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I really liked it more than i thought i would. there were two seperate 15 min interveiws. the initial interviewer had me stressed because they were pretty expressionless so I couldn't get a good read on how i was doing from them. the second interview was a million times more laid back and was pretty much just a conversation. they even said at the end that they were impressed by me though I'm not sure if that's what they say to all the prospectives or if it'll even count that much towards the final decision. But we'll see.
