SDN interview feedback section

What impressed you positively?

The school is absolutely cutting edge in all aspects, the newly renovated 2nd floor oral surgery clinic, over 98% board passing rate, top instructors from all over the country, the dean of the school spoke to us.

What impressed you negatively?

obviously, price tag may be an issue. It seems that they were having timing issues/running late with interviews and the tour on the day I was there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The best food of any interview so far

What are your general comments?

NYU is one of the top dental schools in the country and really wants its students to do well. My interviewer told me that there was some truth to the rumors about drop out rate, however those rumors were based 5-10 years ago, but now the rate is comparable to any dental school. It seems that NYU's integrated exams are helping students to score well on the board exams (>98% pass) and NYU is dedicated to technical excellence (rather than technical competence). Predoctoral students placed over 1000 implants last year and graduates are invisalign certified. I absolutely fell in love with this place and would go here in a heartbeat.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
