Tell me what happened during your first year of college.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I didn't really get asked too many questions, my interviewer pretty much just told me stories about dentistry back in the day and I jumped in during relavant parts of the conversation. My faculty interviewer knew my file very well though.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Very nice school, nice facilities, very up to date technology wise, student body was great and friendly. Humanistic approach makes for a really nice class environment, and the fact they only have one specialty program on campus means you get lots of cases you would never see anywhere else. San Francisco is freaking awesome.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

San Francisco is freaking expensive. So is UoP. Dean Yarborough makes the case that the extra year pays you back the extra cost, but that doesn't really make any sense. No matter how you look at it you still have to pay back 300,000 in loans.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Rumors about specialty programs discriminating against UoP grads are grossly false, as are the rumours that they don't prepare you for boards.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Loooooong interview, information sessions, multiple interviews, lunch, tour, more information sessions. It was pretty low stress though and everyone at the school was really nice, and even...fun? Even Dean Yarborough seemed like a pretty cool guy, and students were joking with him/other deans in the hallway.
