✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

4 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, this site, talked with friends..

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are obviously nice and new

What impressed you negatively?

Staff, students, and overall vibe. Overly confident and unfriendly/unenthusiastic. Also, school was built for 52 seats (or so) and in 2011 they will be accepting 80 students...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are increasing class size to 80..food provided in the lobby while you sit around.

What are your general comments?

Overall I was unimpressed. Students were unenthusiastic and staff kept emphasizing how much of a big deal the school was because of the new facilities. Beyond the shiny new seats/technology it did not seem like they had much more to offer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Organize the interview process better. Have the current dental student interact in a better setting where everyone can engage in conversation, not in a lobby.
