Made a list of stories/accomplishments that I wanted to highlight about myself and brought those up and tied them into my answer for whatever question was asked.
What impressed you positively?
The schools humanistic approach to teaching as well as the way they tie in comprehensive care for their patients. Also, they don't have a certain number of procedures you need to do for graduation. Its just based on what they call competency tests that you do for each type of procedure. You let them know when you think you're ready and you just have to pass and show the faculty you are able to be proficient.

The school was great, but the area that its in was a bit of a downer for me. Wish the neighborhood was safer and had more to do.

Great school and a very different approach to dentistry. But a good different.
