What are your general comments?

AMAZING school, interview was really laid back and very low-stress. Do not worry about it. Just know some basic answers and try to connect with your interviewer. Facilities are awesome-brand new classrooms and clinics...they still use some old classrooms in the medical school building and the old clinics-but they didn't seem "old" to me. First 2 years are very tough-no free time but thats at any dental school, years 3 and 4 more time and laid back. Research, community service opportunities available-awesome school
