2 out of 10

What are your general comments?

i went in with a negative attitude, the admissions department had not been too friendly with me through the process, so i figured that i would not like the school. however, i was completely wrong, i really enjoyed it. after speaking to multiple people i realized that what people say about umich not being a good clinical school is wrong. you will not get as much experience as at a small clinically based school, but you get more than enough to be a competent dentist. umich has one of the best names in the country, and now i know why
