How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read AADSAS application, looked at school website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Both of the admissions officers who interviewed me were incredibly friendly and nice. The secretaries in the office helped me find the Red Line station near campus afterwards to get to the airport.

What impressed you negatively?

Buildings aren't amazing but they aren't terrible. Going to start building an extension to dental school in 2013.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had the later session (i.e. the one that starts at 10:30 am) so I got to the school around 10 am to work on the essay I'd heard about. However, a few minutes after sitting down, I was told that they were going to interview me early. So just be prepared for anything!

What are your general comments?

Great admissions office. Love how connected Dr. Chuck is to applicants and how much he reaches out to pre-dental students. Cleveland really isn't as terrible as people seem to make it out to be. Definitely make sure you get to the school early so that you have time to find the admissions office.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Better signs/directions to the admissions office within dental school building.
