How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

This was my final interview, so I had a lot of practice. But I researched the school and made sure I made a list of questions, just in case, and guess what i needed almost all of them

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Pierpont---he's the man! He's a very easy going, yet loves what he does and it shows. He's very passionate about dentistry and it rubs off on people around him. Dr. Valenza (Dean) was also very down-to-earth and very approachable.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Dr. Valenza was going to spend a few minutes with us and wished that I could have asked a few questions, but actually no one from our group asked any questions.

What are your general comments?

Questions, questions, questions....make sure you have plenty of them. They want to see you WANT dentistry...if that makes any sense.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
