SDN, went over interview questions prior to the real thing

What impressed you positively?

the # of patients in the waiting room; the clinical focus of the school

What impressed you negatively?

the depressing atmosphere of the school; the general lack of enthusiasm of the students, contrasted by the over-the-top nature of the tour guide

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that dental students have to lug around carts wherever they go in the building

What are your general comments?

from my limited experience, the school had a social fraternity vibe, meaning that it did not seem very professional or intellectual. the eagles and football in general seemed to be the topic of conversation. i did not find this very appealing. while this impression was based on 1 day of experience, it was a definite turn-off.
