SDN, past interviews.
What impressed you positively?
The building was nice and the lunch was very generous.
What impressed you negatively?
The long, painful interview.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That NYU studends are expected to be very independant in thier pre-DDS work. It may not suit everyone, esp. if your worried about the 20% fail rate after year one.
What are your general comments?
The interview began first thing, and lasted nearly an hour. It was primarily a chance for the staff to prove I don't want to be a dentist and that NYU is too good for me (us). NYU should not be so arrogant and rude to thier applicants considering it seemed like most kids wanted to go to Columbia or some other school instead.
