💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Interview Feedback, talk with dentists who went there to find out their likes and dislikes about the school, go over application
What was the most difficult question?
There was nothing really difficult. Just trying to get to know me better and double check minor concerns on my application.
What impressed you positively?
It's great the San Antonio is digitally converted and is an excellent school, but I tried to look at the little things. I made sure I observed the students there and see how they acted towards each other and if they seemed stressed. They loved it and were laid back. Both a plus in my book. Don't want to go to a place where I'm stressing out all the time.
What impressed you negatively?
The layout of the school was a little confusing. Even the students and some of the faculty made comments that it can be a little confusing but not a big deal. Once you know the ins and outs it will be pretty easy to navigate around the school
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They really try to make you feel welcome. Dr. Cappelli had some really awesome advice. He said to use this interview as an opportunity for you to also "interview" the school to see if you could see yourself going to school there. (Hence carefully observing current students as previously noted)
