✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the school website, wrote out possible questions and answers and reviewed them, and looked up common interview questions through various websites.

What impressed you positively?

I'd been there before on a field trip for a few years before that, but the clinical settings with computerized records and specialty areas have always impressed me.

What impressed you negatively?

The area the school is in is not of the highest caliber, but other than that, I can't think of any negatives about the actual school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known what the interview format was going to be. I'd heard of group interviews as well as one-on-one.

What are your general comments?

I arrived about 25 min before my interview time. This gave me a chance to talk casually with the admissions staff and also get a feel for what the day was going to be like. The actual interview was serious at first, but then switched to a more conversational approach after about 20 minutes. We spoke about many topics in medicine and dentistry today as well as each others views about them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
