✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, looked at a few questions beforehand

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the staff.

What impressed you negatively?

The student life. The facility. The school seemed boring.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The student interviewer was going to ask so many structured questions. I thought they were going to be more relaxed and talk about things other than dentistry. My mistake for assuming so...

What are your general comments?

Did really well during faculty interview, but not as well during the student interview. It was incredibly awkward. The food was great. The room where you meet and stay in for the majority of the day is pretty small, so it gets a little crowded. The tour didn't impress me at all. Seems like the students went there just to go there. School is all about research. There is a little essay at the end to see if you actually wrote your personal statement. It's probably different for every interview session.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
