What impressed you positively?
The students seemed generally happy there, nice new facilities, very innovative way of practicing, they seem to take into account the student's feedback on the school and curriculum and work with changing things to make the school better. Also they have yummy orange juice!
What impressed you negatively?
IPE sessions, having mostly all science courses with the DO and other grad school programs, having to dress up business casual everyday, the large amount of intervieweees there at the same time, and they dont learn how to wax up teeth
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That my interviewer wasn't going to read any of my application before talking to me, essentially it was a closed file interview. Also I wish I knew I was going to be interviewing later in the day- being at the school at 745am really tires you out when it finally comes time for you to do the interview
