How did you prepare for the interview?

Read every interview feedback entry.

What impressed you positively?

People are genuine. Have a real passion for dentistry.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are DRAB. Nothing seems to have been updated. Lecture rooms are tiny. Cafeteria is GHETTO. Food does not look appetizing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Doesn't matter how early you arrive and sign-in. You get randomly picked for an interview. I was the first one to sign-in and the last to interview (45 min. wait).

What are your general comments?

The interviewer asked me about almost everything in my application, starting with the numbers (GPA and DAT) to hobbies and goals. Further into the interview, it became much more relaxed and it turned out that his son and I both played the same instruments and similar hobbies. Play on whatever peaks the interviewer's interest. If he/she is a hard-ass and you feel you're not getting anywhere, ask them questions about their personal life and they'll open up right away. At least it always worked for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
