Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

SIM lab, how friendly people are, new structuring of clinic, recently renovated lecture halls

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

No new campus in the near future. The new Biophys class that integrates all basic science courses. All of the first year students hate it and even the faculty understands that there are many issues that need to be worked out. I question if all of the kinks will be worked out by the time I start.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Very few parking spaces at 9am in the dental parking lot. I would first try the Doernbecher parking which is just up the hill from the dental parking lot.

What are your general comments?

Interviews were set up as a conversation instead of being grilled. The interviews ended their interview saying that I had their support in becoming a student there. The admissions staff was very honest and open about how admission stats, problems in the program, and any other question you might have. It was a friendly and positive experience.
