✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing practice example questions.

What impressed you positively?

Honestly, not much. The guides we had were nice though.

What impressed you negatively?

No access to simlab outside of class, a D4 student told us he barely learns anything and has horrible grade, but that "he will still be a dentist". Not the thing you want to hear from a dental school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What MMI's were.

What are your general comments?

This school came off to me as one that doesn't prioritize learning, more so focused on mental health. Which is fine, but you would think you want your dental students to know what they are doing when it comes to class and clincals.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Make sure students who are not involved with directly talking to interview students know that they are coming. The one student we encountered that wasn't part of the tour made the school seem horrible to me after hearing what he was saying.
