10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Have answers for "why dental," "tell me about yourself," and "why this school," and then just do some reflection and understand yourself. Finally practice having conversations and saying your thoughts out loud.

What impressed you positively?

Everything was brand new and top of the line. Also, El Paso is extremely welcoming and it truly, genuinely feels like everyone is a big family.

What impressed you negatively?

The food they provided wasn't amazing but that's an insignificant point.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is only one MMI question, and later you get interviewed by two volunteer dentists who don't work for the school but are a part of the community.

What are your general comments?

It would have been good to make the directions to the interview building a bit more clear.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
