"Brian Trecek is the coolest guy ever. Everything is brand new! Nicest facilities I have been to by far. (UNLV,NOVA,CASE,OHIO ST,CREIGHTON,Temple,Iowa,Michigan)" More from this Member | Report Response

"The Facilities and the Students" More from this Member | Report Response

"nice faculty. great simlab and clinics. student tour guide was happy." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities and the program overall. The students there spend a lot of time in the clinic." More from this Member | Report Response

"everyone was very nice, plus the other people waiting around seemed comfortable so I could talk." More from this Member | Report Response

"School is the state of the art, just opened in 2002. Facility is fantastic, and faculty was very friendly. I really enjoyed the interview experience; very laid back, friendly, and precise. It is one of the best schools that I have been interview so far. Director of admission is very nice, explained everything, but he wants to know that you really do want to go to dental school and become a dentist. Milwaukee is good city to be at, not so expensive, campus is nice, a lot of renovations been done later. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a very nice learning environment with a good professor/student relationship " More from this Member | Report Response

"the facility is great and the staff and students were honest about dental school" More from this Member | Report Response

"the school is really really nice and milwaukee is a pretty nice city. everything in the school is brand new. new curriculum with less lectures and more small group discussion type classes and more clinical time." More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Nothing about the school! Milwaukee seems like a little bit of a drag though." More from this Member | Report Response

"How rushed the interview was. I was only given 15 minutes with each interviewer. The interview was on Zoom bc of COVID so maybe it would be different in person." More from this Member | Report Response

"Only two students present on the student panel." More from this Member | Report Response

"Location" More from this Member | Report Response

"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." More from this Member | Report Response

"The weather in Milwaukee. It's in the midwest so I guess you have to accept that." More from this Member | Report Response

"1 of the interviewers was rude out of the 4" More from this Member | Report Response

"How the interview process was not geared toward getting to know you personally. Although it was open file, some people were reading it while you were sitting in front of them on their computer. By spending 10 minutes with 4 different people doesn't allow them to know you as a person, rather than file with your name on it." More from this Member | Report Response

"It seems they try to somewhat have a balance of personalities in the interview committee; one of the interviewers seems to take the "tough, stern-faced" role; I think they do it to see how you react." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really, I just wanted to stay a little longer and look around. Since it was such an anticipated day!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The way they did the interviews was too rushed. I don't know why they do it that way. I am not too excited about Milwaukee, not the worst place, but definitely not the greatest place." More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't really like that way the interviews were set up. It honestly felt like speed dating and made me and many other students relatively uncomfortable. Also, 2/4 interviewers were almost verging on terrible. One apparently acted like he was falling asleep during a colleague's interview the same day (apparently he does it to gauge your reaction... but really only looks like an inconsiderate ass), and another interview was about as dull as a butter knife and had absolutely no interpersonal skills." More from this Member | Report Response

"We didnt get to really see the clinics very much during our tour. I also wasnt a huge fan of the "student panel." I personally would have liked the lunch with current students from D1-D4." More from this Member | Report Response

"I stayed four blocks from the school and the other side of my hotel was pretty bad neighborhood" More from this Member | Report Response

"They don't have rotations through ortho. It's not that big of a deal, but I didn't know that before." More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing, may be the weather- cold" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was kind of boring. I know they aren't supposed to be fun, but they had us all in one room, kinda small, with nothing to do other than talk with each other. The students weren't really enthusiastic about the school. I feel they could have sold their school to us alot better." More from this Member | Report Response

"Two-day interview process. The day long bench test. " More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview was kind of hard, but nothing about the school itself negatively impressed me." More from this Member | Report Response

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." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was going to be held in one giant auditorium where you will have to rotate between 4 different interviewers (Speed dating interview)." More from this Member | Report Response

"how solid their program was" More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities are not as amazing as everybody makes them out to be. They are new and clean, that is probably the biggest difference between them and other schools. All the LCD monitors were not being used. Its still nice and probably the best, but nothing to get all worked up about." More from this Member | Report Response

"N/A" More from this Member | Report Response

"You can load up on as much cafeteria food as you want. I would get at least 20 dollars worth for the ride home." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Practice SDN questions!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Marquette seems like an excellent school, aside from the location. The interview was very laid back. They want you to feel comfortable. Be prepared for some tell me about yourself questions and some ethical questions. Just be yourself and you will do great!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Went into it thinking I wouldn't like it because of the location, but the school itself made me feel like I could seriously consider attending, should I be accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"The set-up of the interview day was great and ran very smoothly." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved marquette. i hope i get in!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Seems like a good learning environment overall although the school itself seems to blend into surrounding downtown areas of Milwuakee. I was not used to this so I found it odd. Also, go to the Milwuakee Ale House to eat.... great food, beer, and service!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I had a good impression of the place. My suggestions for interviewing: be prepared to answer a form of the most typically asked questions; and remember there may be a person purposely trying to throw you off your game to see how you react; they want to get a good impression of how you react under stress, so stay calm." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school is a good place for students who are hard workers and like to also have fun. So there was a great balance to the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"Marquette no longer has a biochemistry course (now a pre-req) in response to students' feedback. Basic science courses are taken on the main campus with other graduates and some undergrads. The school is also looking to expand the number seats it offers." More from this Member | Report Response

"excellent facility with an excellent curriculum, but two of the interviewers really put a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, if those are the best individuals that the admissions committee has to sell their school to students, that really says something about their faculty makeup (in my opinion)." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school with great people" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great School and Im not just saying that because Im in-state. Ive had a ton of interviews and I can say that Marquette honestly is a great school nationwide!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Wow. This school is legit. It's now high on my list." More from this Member | Report Response

";P" More from this Member | Report Response

"loved it; just got accepted and can't wait to attend!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school i loved the atmosphere and loved the campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"I absolutely loved milwaukee. Take time to walk downtown and over to the lake. The interview seemed a little structured. My interviewer had a list of questions he just rambled off. I wasn't exactly ready for that. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, it was really good experience. I received my acceptance letter a few days ago, so I'm excited." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a comfortable experience. Overall the questions were predictable, yet there were a few suprises, so those caught me off guard. Otherwise, pretty relaxed." More from this Member | Report Response

"I got there about 15 minutes early. Then I was brought to a room where we held the interview. After all 8 of my group was done interviewing two 4th year dental students gave us a tour of the building and then took us to lunch. It was a great experience to actually talk to students and learn about how they think about their school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Waited in office for about an hour. They took my picture. After an hour I was escorted out to another room and interviewed mono a mono. Immediately after I went a tour of the facility and had lunch." More from this Member | Report Response

"I enjoyed my entire visit. The interviewers were not intimidating at all and the tour guides made it sound like a great place to live and learn. It's definitely a top choice." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was my first interview so I was pretty nervous, the interview was somewhat relaxed so it wasn't too bad" More from this Member | Report Response

"There were a lot of interviewees there at the same time. It is very organized because they have appointments every half hour. The interview is first, followed by a tour, and then lunch with the students that gave you a tour. Everything was very relaxed! Don't stress too much. The interviewers said straight out that they are not trying to make it nerve racking, they just want to get to know you." More from this Member | Report Response

"First interview, give me an idea the level of questions and things schools are looking for in candidates" More from this Member | Report Response

"Solid, I thought other schools I have interviewed at were nicer and seemed to really want us. Marquette didn't seem like they cared too much." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very exited to say that I've got accepted after a two-day day interview. On the first day, I went through a radiology examination and a personal interview. The second day was an 8-hr bench test (Molar crown cutting, MOD, Upper class-II, Wax-up a pre prepared tooth) and Radiology. Other questions asked: 1) Tell me about yourself. 2) About my dental experience in USA. 3) How did you prepare for Part-1? 4) Will you relocate if you get accepted? 5) After completing DDS will you go for a private practice or work in a hospital? 6) Will you go back to your country or stay in USA? " More from this Member | Report Response

"it was a great experience, i really do hope I get in (#1). Get there ahead of time, converse with the students who are waiting with you. And next interviews making sure not to wear black, I felt I was at a funeral!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Excellent. I was so impressed, it is my new number one. Our tour guide was hot, and there were a ton of hotties in the program. I would go here over the previously mentioned schools for many reasons. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was good. Laid back though my interviewers were hard to get a conversation going with. School is really pretty and new." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very informal conversation lead by two faculty instructors. A two way conversation about my history and about marquette dental school. The atmosphere was ncie." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities, program and people there really impressed me, it could have emerged as my top choice." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was super comfortable and I think it showed (i got in) I went on the tour with the students, and they offer a lunch afterwards but I declined and went home ( my feet were kiling from the heels i had on!!)" More from this Member | Report Response

" It is all depends on who you get, the interview was very laid back, and friendly for me. I really enjoyed being there, questions were not personal, faculty just wanted to find out more about my personality and make sure it is what I want to do as a career." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was surprised to find out how much free time the student who gave the tour had" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great dental school after the interview this is my number one choice" More from this Member | Report Response

"i was even more impressed by the school than i thought i would be. my student tour guide was really honest about the things she liked and disliked about the school, which was helpful. the interview was harder than other ones i had been to but the day was overall a good experience."
