How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed AADSAS and secondary applications. Went over typical interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing. Top notch, all digital, and very new. Also, the staff and students are all very laid-back and eager to truthfully answer your questions.

What impressed you negatively?

The integrated curriculum may not be for everyone.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How friendly and comfortable everyone makes you feel. I was really nervous, so had I known how laid-back the environment was ahead of time, it would have eased my stress a bit.

What are your general comments?

Interviews were very enjoyable. Both the dental student and professor made the interview more of a get-to-know-you session, where you as the prospective student were able to steer the direction of the interview towards areas in which you thought were important. I like this type of interview more than others because you get to ask pertinent questions and find out more about the school itself, rather than the interviewer trying to stump you with numerous difficult questions that do not really reflect your personality or desire to enter into the dental field.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
