So tell me about you?
Student interviewer a lot more relaxed. Told you flat out they don't want to be impressed by you just want to have a normal conversation and answering any questions you have. They just wanted to make sure you weren't socially awkward. Also before the interview the dental students would let you know what the faculty interviewer was and what were their interest and what not.

What impressed you positively?

The weather, facilities were nice/OK

What impressed you negatively?

Some students said if they had a choice they would go else where. During the financial aid section the speaker made it sound like we would 'easily' pay back our loans and that most students only have about $150,000 in debt when they graduate which is totally inaccurate. Very turned off by the school trying to brush the issue of cost aside.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How expensive a cab ride would be.

What are your general comments?

Did not like the dishonesty by the financial aid person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
