Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing remotely interesting. I had spoken to the admissions committee prior to my interview and was shocked with the way they treated me. Don't be fooled by Dr. Sposetti and Dr. Logan, they pretend to be compassionate, and then turn on you. They went as far as to take the things I asked them about in confidence and use that against me in the interview. Shame on them.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I had been to many other interviews and was confident with my ability to interview and communicate.......I think the communication problem is on the other end....

What impressed you positively?

cheap tuition. But not huge difference to some other schools

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Everything. The Admissions committee turned me off immediately. The secretaries inability to file (among other things), the fact the Dental school doesn't shy away from the fact that the Faculty is split (yes, they prided themselves in telling me that during my interview). The lackluster dental building. I talked to many current first years and all them relayed the same thing to me: They were most unhappy, and wished they had gone else where. In addition they were kind enough to tell me that the class doesn't get along, with them or the faculty. What a problem!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Being from Florida, and coming back for my interview from Boston I thought they would embrace the fact that I had much to offer. Apparently, what I have to offer isn't as important as the things I couldn't offer. They were very keen to point out all my deficiencies (I guess having a high GPA and DAT scores is a bad thing...). Oddly enough, UCLA, Columbia and Harvard all were very keen on me. Who needs UF?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Wasted my time, my parents money, and the paper I used to write my essay. Wish I had known all this before going down to Gainesville. What a sad visit. Nice campus, but the dental school doesn't have anything special......
