What impressed you negatively?

2 of my 3 interviewers were extremely unfriendly, to say the least. This was not my first dental school interview, so I felt thrown off by how cold my interviewers were; the student interviewer was friendly but the two faculty were the least personable interviewers I have ever encountered. Every time I answered a question, I would be interrupted or pressed to elaborate even more, and I felt as though my interviewers wanted me to feel uncomfortable due to how they would just stare at me the entire time. They did not even let out a single smile the entire interview. Overall, don't take my experience as representative of everyone else's, but if you decide to interview here then be sure to prepare to come up with elaborate answers on the spot and don't expect them to be as friendly as interviewers from other schools.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was impressed by the clinical exposure at this school and the campus; however, the interview was such an uncomfortable experience that I knew I did not want to attend here. I had numerous interviews at other schools and none of them left such a negative impression as this one. Undoubtedly the most anxiety-inducing interview I have ever been part of. Dentists are healthcare professionals who should be personable in order to make their patients comfortable and establish good relations with others. If my faculty interviewers (both dentists) cannot treat a prospect to their school with even the slightest bit of warmth, then I don't know why they should represent the school. I will never tell anyone to not attend a particular doctorate program, but my experience serves as a warning that this interview may not be an easy or comfortable one.
