How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website, read SDN, practiced out loud.

What impressed you positively?

The school is amazing, Brian Trecek is awesome, and you can tell he genuinely cares to get to know all of his candidates. Loved the area. This guy knows what he's doing. The school environment is filled with positive energy, the dental students I encountered during the interview seemed happy and enthusiastic about their school.

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of interest, engagement, or facial expression some of the interviewers show (2/4). Those interviewers were un-relatable and seemed like they were just there to read off of a question bank. Sure, it may be to gauge how you react during an interview, but interviews are already extremely stressful. This can hinder an already nervous student to show their personality and convey their interest in the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To be well versed with leadership qualities and what that means to you in dentistry.

What are your general comments?

The set-up of the interview day was great and ran very smoothly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
