The interviewers did most of the talking, they only asked two questions which were no-brainers, one asked what I will do if don't get in, the other asked why did you get a C in organic. That was really the only two questions asked.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at the interview feedbacks on this site.

What impressed you positively?

Both the DentSim labs and the clinic.

What impressed you negatively?

The location is downtown Richmond, which looks as if it could be hectic if you're in a hurry (i.e.late for class).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, the feedback from the interviews on this site covered pretty much everything that happened.

What are your general comments?

My interviews were probably different than most because the dean knew me and had already talked to the interviewers about me. There were six of us interviewing that day and both the dean and his assistant seemed to talk to me moreso than the others, I would think they were probably a little uncofortable with that, but hopefully it was good for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
