SDN and checked out their website

What impressed you positively?

The pre-clinical facilities were very modern and was an overall clean school.

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of diversity in the student body.... in general, the pittsburgh area is homogenous. Also, the school seemed dead, I didn't see a single patient being treated. The school seemed like a second class institution located in the middle of nowhere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How sorry of a dental program it was and wouldn't have wasted money on the trip.

What are your general comments?

For the above reasons, I immediately turned down their acceptance and would recommend future applicants not to apply to pitt as one of the back-up schools because it is not worth it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
