The dental building will not be finished unti 2013. At my interview, the school had only around 20 staff members. Greenville is rough.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be over at 2.

What are your general comments?

Overall I was impressed with ECU's dental school. However, they are taking a different approach to dental education. This may work or may not. They spoke a good game but it has yet to be seen.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Because ECU is a new school, I wish they had printed out everything for me including curriculum, teaching philosophy, cost of attendance, ect.
