How did you prepare for the interview?

I read half of an interview book during the plane ride the night before.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities and location were very nice. The clinical research center was very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The recurrent theme of the day was: "This is definitely not the best dental school." This was repeated many times by the students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was no breakfast.

What are your general comments?

I was overall unimpressed. They didn't seem to think very highly of themselves, often admitting that they were not the best dental school and that they didn't have a good reputation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Include a schedule of the interview day either in the folder or in an email.
