How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, school website, brochure, mock interview with brother-in-law who is a policeman.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is nice and well immersed within the medical community. The staff/faculty were extremely pleasant and made you feel honored, excited and proud to be there. I really enjoyed the interview process. Very relaxed.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I would have appreciated if my first interviewer would have looked me in the eyes more and stop spending most of his time winding up his watch. He never asked the expected interview questions so I had to find ways to add onto the question to iterate my pursuit for dentistry.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I read SDN and knew it was going to be laid-back but not this laid back.

What are your general comments?

I arrived around 8:30 and waited in the student lounge and watched sportscenter on the big screen TV. Four lovely ladies later joined as they were to be interview as well. There were 2 interviews total. My first one was with the remedial director and was very conversation-like. I couldn't believe it actually lasted 60 minutes. The 2nd was with Dr. Dalsky, the director of admissions, and was centered around 3 questions (see below). Once everyone was done there was the financial aid spiel and then lunch and a tour. very nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
