How did you prepare for the interview?

StudentDoctor.net

What impressed you positively?

The newly remodeled floors

What impressed you negatively?

The dingy and stained old clinics. The number of students. The fact that they interview 1000 people, and trek them through the school every Monday and Friday for God knows how many months. How they have international dentists join the class their second year (no one knows if these already practicing dentists help or hurt the curve for the first time dental school students).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wear comfortable shoes! They make you walk up and down a bazillion stairs in the 11 storey building since "the elevators are slow". The student who did the tour was not a dental student. A nearby 2 person apartment costs $1,800 per person!

What are your general comments?

If I had to decide between NYU and UoP (the other school I've toured) I'd pick UoP. Of the 3 newly remodeled floors (which look like 5 star hotels) only one of the floors do the students actually step foot on.
