SDN, Reviewed secondaries from other schools, talked to a current student, practiced answers beforehand.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really--it was my first visit so I don't have much to compare it to.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew there was an essay because of SDN, but the school doesn't warn you ahead of time. It was no big deal, just a paragraph about an ethical dilemma.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview experience, and I was incredibly nervous beforehand but I can say now that there was really no reason to be. The interview was incredibly relaxed and casual. My interviewer took the time to study my application beforehand and asked me about really ineresting things from my application. I was happy to speak about things that really mean a lot to me--not all related to dentistry. The MMI's were a good exeperience, but some of the interviewers were quite intimidating, others really cool. Overall I liked my experience there but it snowed--in October!!
