How did you prepare for the interview?

I compiled all of the questions on SDN Interview Feedback for UNC, verbally answered as many of them as I could, had mock interviews with friends and dentist, the whole shebang!

What impressed you positively?

Definitely the fancy new building, the organization, the light breakfast-y snacks, the really nice faculty members, the familial/friendly atmosphere created by the admissions team.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing; I was impressed positively by the new building and the kind faculty who interviewed me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing!

What are your general comments?

Compared to the other three interviews I have been to, I felt the most comfortable interviewing with the two faculty members and student, mostly because they were genuinely interested in getting to know me and my aspirations and personality. One interview ended up running overtime because we were so engaged in our conversation. It was definitely a good sign! I believe the clinical training is second to none. They start you early and provide you with a lot of exposure in the specialities (all are represented at the school!), which is one of the main reasons I chose UNC.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
