SDN, school brochure, previous interviews.

What impressed you positively?

enthusiasm and confidence of students, two month long breaks, the admissions committee meets and makes the decision right away, they just can't let you know before dec 1!!!

What impressed you negatively?

nothing much, except they don't have a sim lab. (students, however, seemed confident and skilled enough. They are given adaquate training to perform just as well as any other dental school students. or so they said)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This is one of the oldest dental school in the nation and so it has a great tradition to rely on for its glories!

What are your general comments?

Start with a great video, then a short essay writing. Then interveiws. It was great, the interveiwers were very friendly and paid close attention to everythig I had to say. They were very positive about responding on my good side rather than nitpicking my negatives.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
