How did you prepare for the interview?
I talked to previous canidates, and had several interviews before. I really didn't prep because I just wanted to be myself, not impress anyone.
What impressed you positively?
The school was so relax and chill, I didn't get the vibe that people were trying to be pretentious or overly snobby. I expected that i would not like the school or the people, but I was totally wrong.
What impressed you negatively?
While I was impressed by facilities, faculty and students, I did get the impression that the school is not as well financed as some other private institutions (or public for that matter)- translation - its very expensive and theres not much scholarship. But its harvard, right! the students are heavily recruitted from this dental school, something I cant say for all the schools i visited. (no one did a GPR or AEGD , everyone went right into there specialty like 95%, the other 5% did public health or something academic.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I you missed the sign on the way in you would never think you were at harvard. The people and the environment is very nice, and does not seem overly competitive or stressful.
What are your general comments?
Best interview experience by far - partially due to the fact that i was not expecting much... such as life.
