What was the most interesting question?
What do you think the biggest problem in dentistry is today?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN interview feedback, BU website, ADEA official guide to dental schools, a few random interview books with sample questions which i practiced and video taped on my webcam
What was the most difficult question?
What do you like least about dentistry....I feel like there is no good answer for this question!
What impressed you positively?
everyone is extremeeeely friendly! one of the students there said that coming to BU felt like a "big hug"..and i totally agree. everyone really seems to care
What impressed you negatively?
I wanted so badly to love the facilities of the school since I am a Mass Resident and loved the atmosphere of the school...but the other posts are right..it's still not quite as good as a lot of other dental schools. not to say that you wouldn't get a good education from these facilities, they just aren't quite as nice for the price of the school
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
it definitely depends on who you get for an interviewer! (not that i had any control over this) some of the interviewers were extremely laid back and from what i heard from the other students barely even asked any dentistry-related questions. mine definitely did, however..but still wasn't overwhelmingly intense
