How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

Interviewer was a very nice person, knowledgeable about the field of dentistry and BU as an institution. Talked about my interviewers travels doing dental presentations.

What impressed you negatively?

Informal style of the interview and lack of feedback from interview made it difficult to know where I stand. Interviewer also talked for the majority of the time so it was difficult to talk about myself.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Really not much. SDN forum was pretty accurate to how the interview went.

What are your general comments?

Advice: stay loose and act like you are just meting a colleague or family member for coffee. The interview is VERY informal, the interviewer just wants to have a genuine conversation with you. Keep your file/CV/script handy to refer to (assuming its on zoom) just incase but don't stress about hitting every talking point. Just let the conversation flow.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing! Pleased with the experience.
