How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10

What are your general comments?

I showed up 15 minutes early as was one of the last interviewees to arrive. They took my picture, then showed me to a conference room to join the rest of the applicants. The room was dead silent... Dr. Javed explained how the day would go, and we had a short presentation from the financial aid specialist. Then I had 3 different interviews. Plan on some down-time in between interviews. After my interviews, we had lunch and met with the rest of the admissions committee along with a few students. Afterwards, we had some time to talk with students without faculty present. Next we toured the Dental History museum and toured the relevant portion of the campus.

The labs are being updated. Charleston is gorgeous. I've heard from local dentists that the MUSC faculty was unusually friendly, and I found that to be the case.

Some people refer to the older facilities as being a problem, but I'm not convinced that it's any real concern.

Parking seems a little difficult.
