⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Overall, I was very impressed. The other SDN reviews were very negative, but the actual visit to the school gave me a MUCH better picture of what the school is like. The whole day is very laid back. I wouldn't be worried at all if I had to do it again. U of M is definitely my number one choice now.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a dentist?
What was the most interesting question?
Everyone was asked to stand up say your name, school, where you're from, and what you will be famous for in 20 years.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Checked out SDN feedback, read school's CD, and did a mock interview with my advisor
What impressed you positively?
Just about everything. The faculty and staff were excited about their school and very down to earth. U of M students actually get a lot more clinical experience then what I heard from rumors. The faculty is also very receptive to student feedback.
What impressed you negatively?
Some of the facilities are not as nice as other schools, but they are in the process of upgrading them
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview process and tour were going to be so laid back. I got pretty worked up over nothing. The interview is held during lunch. You just sit with a faculty member for five minutes during lunch and just talk. Also, they make you write a short essay when you get there.
