"I put a stress level of 7 above only because I was almost late, and didn't have time to relax, go to the bathroom, etc. The interviews themselves were completely NON-stressful. One interviewer focuses on your academics, the second does not know your grades or DAT score. Although in my case, we mainly just chit-chatted about music in both interviews since they were quite impressed with my grades and scores (academic interview) and recommendations (personal interview), etc. The interviewers spent a lot of the time trying to sell me their school/convince me to go there."

"The first part of the day was just an introduction made by the Dean (who's a very nice guy) for half an hour, and then we right away broke off into our interviews. The first interview was based on academics (open-file), and the second interview was personality-based (completely closed-file). Both of my interviewers were absolutely great...very friendly, talkative, and extremely encouraging. Neither of the two experiences actually felt like an interview, they were both just conversations where I'm pretty sure the interviewers did more talking than I did! The admissions staff truly make you feel like they want you there, and thats a great way to keep you calm and confident. Absolutely nothing to worry about!" More from this Member | Report Response

"All the staff and students attempted to make us feel calm and relaxed. We were briefed with what to expect and provided with an overview of the curriculum. We then had two interviews back to back. The interviews were very informal in the professor' offices, so it was seemed similiar to visiting an undergraduate professor in the office to ask for help. We then met with a member of the financial aid office, went to lunch with dental students, and then concluded the visit." More from this Member | Report Response

"2 half hour interviews followed by a tour then a financial aid workshop ending with lunch with students" More from this Member | Report Response

"There were 10 people interviewing at the same time. A faculty memeber gave an hour long overview of the school. We then took a tour of the entire school. The interviews were next. The first interviewer was a dentist/faculty member that basically asked why I wanted to be a dentist and why I chose that school. The second interviewer asked about my transcripts and gave me an opportunity to explain myself where necessary. Most of the time was just chit-chat about where I live, hobbies and why I chose the major I did. Lunch was from Domino's Pizza and 3rd year students that were happy to answer any questions. We were also given information about financial aid, admissions info for the previous year and contact information. The faculty was very warm, gracious and seemed like they genuinely wanted everybody to be there. It was a stress-free experience. The fact that it was an "interview" made me get more worked up than I should have been." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, this school is definitely worth a look. They seem to take quite a few out of state residents. I think Dr. Beeman and her interviewers were extremely friendly and professional. I interviewed at quite a few schools and this was the most enjoyable experience. " More from this Member | Report Response
