What was the most interesting question?

Say you just started working at a dental office with a more senior doctor who owns the practice. One day he becomes very ill and you have to take care of his patients. How would you handle dealing with a patient who's case is unclear to you (i.e. you cannot see the problem that the other doctor wrote down in the patient's x-ray)?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Bought a new suit. Read some of the feedback on here. You really don't need to prepare much.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are brand new, and students clock a ton of clinic hours here.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The school isn't really a campus per se, just the two buildings with lecture halls, PBL rooms, a library, clinical spaces, and a cafeteria. It is rather isolated from the nearby towns of Bradenton and Sarasota.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Because of the emphasis on clinic hours the academic year is 48 weeks long. Also, year four is not in Bradenton but either in Erie, Pennsylvania or DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Both of these things I can absolutely live with but came as a surprise.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall I was impressed with the facilities, but not surprised. It's still a new school so I expected state of the art equipment. As far as the interview goes, there is no need to stress. It is very laid back and the fact that it's a closed file, group interview format makes it even less stressful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Communications prior to the interview were somewhat spotty. For instance I was told in my initial invitation to interview that I would receive another email ten days prior to confirm my appointment, but no such email was ever sent.
