How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, books, YouTube videos... all not needed. Just know the typical questions (why dentistry, strengths/weaknesses, etc.) and come up with a few questions. The interview is very laid back and conversational.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is REALLY nice, the faculty, students, and staff are friendly and hilarious, the weather is good, and the area is safe.

I was the last interviewee out of 16 people, so it was terrible having to anxiously wait hours for my interview. Even the interviewers seemed like they wanted to get it over with as it lasted only 10-15 minutes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.
