How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

suburban-type campus, the buildings are all new, state of the art equipment, humanistic approach to dentistry, open door policy, the fact that it has more chairs available than the number of 3rd and 4th years combined, very caring and friendly environment.

What impressed you negatively?

the fact that it's on the expensive side for a dental school, and that it's new so no history on NBDE 2 (but they did great on NBDE 1), no alumni, no known specialization rate as of now.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the building where you meet for interviewing is on the left side when you enter campus, the right side is the clinic.

What are your general comments?

After the interview, this school definitely ranks very high on my list. The interview is low stress and you have lots of down time, so have fun and socialize with your fellow interviewees!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

shorten the downtime by having more interviewers (there were only 2 people interviewing our entire group, so interviews were conducted 2 interviewees at a time while the rest waited)
