"louisville is really nice and cheap."
"The personal chemistry between the students and the faculty."
"It was as if everyone in the admissions office already knew me."
"The location; it was in clean part of downtown. The admissions staff, faculty and students very nice. The midnight notification of admission/denial on Dec 1; very helpful. That applicants from Wisconnsin are very pretty."
"The faculty are awesome!! I felt as if I had known them for a while and that they really wanted me to attend their university."
"Students seemed happy and the school was nice. The Faculty really seemed like it was there for the students."
"The people!"
"The students seemed happy at the school and the school really felt a need for outreach in the surrounding community."
"Pretty much everything. Everyone is so friendly there. "
"The Louisville community seemed like one big family. The students had few complaints other than some old equipment and lack of parking. Many schools admit classes that have stronger numbers than UofL's, but they always seem to finish in the top ten of board exam scores. That shows that they really do a good job of teaching. They also offer Zoo Dentistry and Forensic Dentistry courses."
"the atmosphere at the school was very welcoming"
"the students/faculty. Everyone is so friendly. The interview day was well planned and worked to perfection. The students stressed how every class is so team oriented and non-gunnerish. The faculty really want you to suceed and will even spend one-on-one time with you to help you out. There are new pedo/ortho labs that are really nice. They also have a great sim lab/program. They use a the sim lab in a clinical setting instead of just problem based. The school was nice and the students have scored in the top 10 for five years in a row on the national board part II. They focus greatly on the clinical aspect of dentistry and produce great general practitioners. Good lunch."
"The faculty and students were all very warm and friendly. They made everyone feel completely at home and comfortable. The students discussed how most of their classmates are not "cut-throat" at all, and the students all serve as a support system/family for one another."
"The clinical experience and the happy, friendly students and faculty. The city of Louisville was also a great place."
"The people of the city. The faculty and students."
"organization. we were finished ahead of time. students as well as the dean were very friendly and honest. it is a clean school. it is cheap to live in Louiville. opportunity for research is not as competitive."
"friendliness of staff"
"very nice faculty, truly friendly."
"VERY friendly. Students happy. Great clinical skills"
"Certain aspects of clinical education were lacking compared to other programs i.e., digital dentistry mentioned but not practiced"
"School is definitely on the older side but they’re making renovations"
"The school has almost no windows, low ceilings and is all grey and brown. It is dark and depressing. I expected it to be a bit nicer after renovation. Clinics looked nice but still had no windows."
"For lunch, interviewees were paired and then put with a current D3 student. At other interview days, there was lunch provided with current students, but it was less formally arranged. I liked the opportunity to interact with multiple current students that the format of interview day lunches at other schools allowed."
"Small town- not much to do outside of school"
"Nothing!"
"The location and cost"
"Class size, parking"
"The interviews were pretty stressful and they sort of skirted the issue of how expensive it is for out of staters."
"That there are 120 students that all need enough patients to go around."
"The tour guide was a bit too much. She made us walk through 3 different lecture halls filled with current dental students. We walked in and just stood there, I felt like we were on display. Also, lunch came a bit late. I was starving during the presentations."
"I do not like Louisville as a city. There is no metro or good public transportation. I will say they have good restaurants, but nothing else really impressed me about the city. Perhaps I am biased because the weather was terrible while I was there."
"Length of presentations during interview day."
"It sucked having to see the construction going on but the remodeled areas look amazing"
"Tuition, tuition, tuition. They pulled no punches and made no apologies about how expensive their school was. They recommended selling cars, never going out to lunch, and basically anything to cut costs. Basically they stressed that you will be dirt poor the whole time you're there. They are more expensive than most private schools in the long run with no chance to change residency status."
"The construction, the really old parts of the building, the long powerpoint presentations"
"not being able to see the campus before my acceptance (I interviewed in Salt Lake City, Utah), but it was convenient not to have to pay for airfare, etc to interview... sort of a catch 22!"
"All the presentations. Lasted 4 hours and they were pre-interview. "
"location"
"Dr. Hicks"
"Homeless shelter just down the street...many students commented on how often they were approached for money or, for some, mugged."
"Parts of the school are definitely out-dated and its hard to compare facilities when you interview at schools with brand new equipment. They will be remodeling though and it will directly help our class. The neighborhood directly surrounding the campus is pretty hairy! As I walked back to my hotel, I witnessed a man urinating on the sidewalk a block from the school as passerbys stood in amazement! Also, if you are from the north, you might start to think everyone there is southern. Although many people you interview with are from the north, get used to every enrolled student being a southerner, for me, that can become sort of annoying. I can only listen to so many hun's and ya'lls in a day!"
"Everything is kind of old, and reconstruction hasn't started yet. "
"nothing really. Some of the stuff may look a little older but they plan to renovate. "
"nothing....it's a great school"
"facilities were older, but they are being replaced. City. "
"price for out of state tuition"
"Nothing special. Just few places to have hardcore fun."
"The whole process seemed a little bit longer than other interviews. The interviewers did not ask many questions, but I guess it is more negative for them if they don't find out everything they want about prospective students."
"While I was there it rained the whole time, and the traffic is horrible most of the time. "
"the incredibly hot conference room we were crammed into"
"The cost for out-of-state residents; who must sign a contract stating they started school as and will remain an out-of-state resident."
"The presentation at the beginning was very informative, but did not seem to flow very quickly."
"The older faculty they seem to have."
"wait time between interviews. "
"The area is a little ghetto for me. Starting JULY 2!!!!!!! Clinics are old, and I couldn't get a straight answer on whether or not you get your own (so I'm guessing not). "
"Though I doubt I would have the time to go out, I can’t imagine there is all that much to do."
"The faculty are all old people, who are rumored to be there because for some reason they can't practice dentistry anymore (a 4th year told me that) They need new equipment, they need a Dean! (they have had the same dean for 35 years and pretty much nothing has changed in 35 years)"
"the place is old. the methods by some of the teachers seem out of date as mentioned by several students. "
"Building is kind of old, but they are going to remodel it"
"If anything, I would say some of their equipment could be upgraded, which they are in the process of doing."
"that you take your boards the end of your second year right after your clinical test and the students seemed to think it was a bit ridiculous and they didn't have enough time for everything (crazy course schedule, boards and clinical test)"
"starting in July"
"lab system and all the instruments were very old. they were still using 80's technology. there's no library only for dental student, so you have to share with medical students and it was very small. "
"my interviewer would pause during the interview to read my entire personal statement and to read my letters of recommendations. She didn't prepare beforehand to get to know me as a person, and she seemed really irritable when she was interviewing me. I just sat in silence as she read my file-it was awkward."
"My interviewer was very inappropriate and offensive; it was also obvious that he had not read my application carefully (or maybe at all)"
"Nothing."
"Most students live 15 minutes away from the school. The school is not in the nicest part of town."
"N/A"
"traffic getting there was horrible, and i arrived with only 5 minutes to spare. leave early to be sure you are on time."
"This 4th year student who gave me an interview. He was very cold and snobby. (One of the gunners) His mom is a dentist and he didn't like it when I said no dentists in my family. "
"I am not sure how well I would like the city."
"nothing, some of the facilities are older, but they are going to start putting in new equipment soon."
"The price for out of state residents is too high for the facilities being offered, but I have heard that the clinical training is excellent, which they probably are since the part 2 board scores are in the top 10."
"Start school earlier than most, but it's just to ease you into the workload. The terms' length are flexible from year to year, so it makes it hard to plan anything outside of school (vacations, etc.). It's in downtown Louisville. "
"The facilities are a little old, but are soon to be remodeled. We saw some of the areas that have already been re-done and they were quite nice. The simulation clinic is fabulous."
"Very high out-of-state tuition. And the only way to become a Kentucky resident is to marry one. So unless that is in your future, be prepared to pay a lot for your education. "
"people at the school, old facilities, snobby"
"The weather is drab. Some old clinical settings and the interview was long-(9:30-4:00)(16 students). But, new stuff is on the way and the interview went by fast. (So, not really negative)."
"3 interviews; it took a long time to do and half of the group was gone while others were still waiting for thier first interview."
"The clinic is outdated."
"I expected a fiarly laid back interview like I had heard most students talking about, and instead got drilled by this old fossil, who knows where they dug him up from. Lots of hard demoralizing questions then when I would try to give an answer/explination he would just cut me off with the some rude remark or another question. I got probably three words in the whole time. Also there were like fifteen people being interviewed that day and only two students so it was hard to ask them questions, instead we just got the fly-by tour."
"Some older equipment"
"Old equipment"
"They never asked me why I wanted to go there which I thought was weird. Some of the facilities are old but they are doable. The school is great but I was told there isn't much to do besides attend school, drink, and play golf."
"Some of the equipment was old. There really isn't much parking and there aren't a lot of places to eat in the vicinity of the school. Louisville traffic can also get pretty hectic."
"The actual clinic is old and needs to be renovated. The rennovation should take place within the next four years. "
"Nothing about the visit really negatively impressed me."
"Nothing"
"None."
"the city itself and not the school. there is not much to do besides attending school."
"The day was very unorganized. During the tour, the admissions counselor was recruiting interviewers. She was asking students and volunteer professors to interview, bribing them with cookies, etc. The students sat together waiting for interviews, and some students were forgotten, so they had to rush in order for them to have their 2nd and 3rd interviews."
"Interview day was to-be expected"
"I wished I would have known the amount of other interviewees that would be at the school that day."
"I could have stored my luggage in their office"
"How much of a time commitment interviews are. I had to travel and miss 2.5 days of school."
"I would have prepared a fun fact about myself to tell when asked during introductions"
"To not stress as much"
"How cold it was in Kentucky..."
"How wonderful the school was going be"
"large interview group"
"That there would be two separate interviews. One closed file, and one open."
"I wish I had known to not stress out about interviewing here. The experience was overall very pleasant and relaxed."
"How amazing this school was. They receive a LOT of applications, so it does take them a long time to contact students for an interview, just be patient."
"not to over-prepare and just to relax"
"I wish I would have known they weren't going to feed us breakfast and coffee."
"To eat a bigger breakfast, I did not like the sandwiches."
"Nothing really."
"You will sit in a small, hot room all morning listening to presentations before you get to move around and tour the school"
"that the interview was going to be so conversational-- it was a huge relief"
"Two separate interviews"
"THere are more then one interview, at first it was nerve-wrecking but it ended up being super relaxed. The student and faculty who interviewed me were super relaxed and you could tell they really wanted to get to know me instead of just going through the motions."
"How laid back it was. They seriously make you feel like you are home."
"Nothing, it's super chill."
"how much sitting would be involved"
"That the day would really be that long"
"That all acceptances for out of state applicants have already been given out and that now, one's chances of getting in is a number game. If I had known that, I would have saved the hotel money and traveling costs."
"that student tour guides would be interviewing us. "
"that it would be so laid back"
"nothing, very straightforward "
"I forgot to bring memory card of my digital camera. Jet lag! No sleep at all at night before my interview day."
"I wish I had had more time to drive around and see the area. I didn't know much about the town and it seems like a nice place to be for four years."
"How laid back the day would actually be. Also that the school conducts about 500 interviews."
"i wish i had prepared better questions. they answered all of mine in the very informative information overview."
"The day goes pretty much as follows: introduction, overview presentation of the school, financial aide presentation, tour of the school by a student, lunch with the students, and then 3 interviews with different members of the admissions committee (one on one.) runs from about 9am-3pm."
"Have questions ready to ask them that has nothing to do with financial aid or the school in general because most of those questions are answered during the presentation."
"I wish I would have known how thorough the presentations would be. I would have thought of better questions."
"The school is so nice and the people are so helpful. But, out-of-state tuition is high and you can't get residency. And starting in July."
"Even though it I the nation's 16th largest city, everything closes Sunday, including downtown. The city has a small town feel with a ton of museums. Very eclectic."
"that the school, takes 50% male and 50% female, this doesnt represent the application pool at all. way more males apply. i know of alot of guys who interviewed here from my university, 6 of us and only 1 got in. compared to the 5 of us who got into case in decmber. "
"Not to be stressed out by the interview process because it was laid back and relatively non-stresfull. They just wanted to get to know you. It was like conversing with one of my undergraduate professors, laid back and nonthreatening."
"that i would love the school and city SOOOO much"
"that the school of dentistry is no where near the undergrad campus."
"I should have known that this interview doesn't really affect on my admission. they already knew who's gonna be their students."
"That a student was going to interview me and that the interviewer would spend more time reading my file in silence than answering my questions. "
"Take dental floss in case you get something stuck in your teeth during lunch, since your interviews are right after lunch. "
"Have lots of questions ready"
"The actual price of school, I underestimated."
"traffic is can be bad."
"none"
"How laid back the whole day was going to be."
"Nothing."
"That the facilities are so old."
"You really need to apply early, if you are out-of-state, if you want a good chance of being accepted. "
"That it would be so laid back! "
"nothing"
"that i would hate it so much. unhonestly, they act like they are better than other schools, but in reality they are awful and their students are not that smart."
"How involved Louisville is with the surrounding communities of Kentucky. "
"That this experience would be so laid-back."
"The 3 interview format"
"The actual price of tuition and the fact that you can't declare in-state redidency. This is why I will not be attending."
"That the hotel shuttle stops running after 6pm. My flight came in at 6:30 so I had to walk to the hotel. "
"How big of a city Louisville is!"
"It took a LONG time. Not the interview itself, but the process. There were about 11 other interviewees and they all had to change in rotation from student, faculty member, to a person on the admissions committe."
"That Colonel Sanders is everywhere! There is a huge picture of him on the side of a building, it's quite funny really. Also I wish I knew about the 'exit interview.' They give you a final interview at the end to let you know what you can expect on Dec. 1 which was scary."
"Nothing. It all went very smoothly and previous SDN feedback posters did a good job of describing the experience."
"nothing....awesome experience"
"I didn't think there was any way that the interview day would take a total of 6 hrs....but, its pretty close. I was there for about 5 1/2 hours...."
"How expensive it is to travel by taxi. I rented a car and toured the city for less money and saw more sites as well."
"The interview process is quite stressful comparing to other schools. I would prepare myself more if I know it before the interview."
"The students that take you on a tour and have luch with you are the ones that interview you."
"Interviews were after lunch, and the interview portion of the day is much shorter than I imagined."
"nothin."
"UofL is a great program. Emphasis on diversity within students and admin which I think is imperative."
"Really lovely interview experience overall. They were incredibly welcoming and it feels like the family atmosphere really exists."
"Not my top choice due to the building and facilities but everyone is super nice and friendly."
"Very relaxed and the interviewers want to get to know you as a person outside of your application. Very personable faculty and students who are willing to share their likes and thoughts for improvement about the program."
"Awesome school, excited for my acceptance!"
"Great school"
"I was so positively impressed with this school."
"good presentation and very diverse student body coming from 18 different states."
"Great school, easy going interview process. Just be yourself."
"Very laid back interview. Don't stress about it. Some people were in/out of their interviews within 10 minutes. I took about 35-40 because we got onto different topics and had a conversation."
"love the school and the city!"
"Other than tuition, this is an excellent program, since I am considering a military scholarship the cost isn't such an issue."
"The students and faculty seem proud of their school which is attractive."
"Staff couldn't have been more welcoming. I felt like part of UofL SOD before I was even accepted!"
"Relaxed interviews, but sitting and listening to presentations for 4 hours beforehand just heightened my anxiety. I like getting the interviews over with early on. "
"Great experience overall."
"Great school and definitely bumped up on my list of favorite schools."
"It's a long day but almost everyone is awesome and relaxed. Some interviewees had tough faculty interviews but those were rare it seemed like. Students seemed great too. Btw stay in the bed and breakfast that is mentioned on the school's website...it's awesome. "
"**WARNING OUT OF STATE APPLICANTS*** my interviewer told me that acceptances have been given out to all out of state applicants. If you have an interview in Feb, the only chance you have of getting in is if people who have been given acceptances decide not to come. "
"Everyone interviewed with different people, so while some people were grilled and had really tough interviews...some were really laid back. "
"Good school! EXTREMELY FRIENDLY! Most friendly out of all schools I interviewed at!"
"Great school, seriously really nice people. It made it virtually a stress free interview. And they are planning a huge remodel to update facilities. "
"Great school! Great school for Research + Clinical training. Early exposure to clinical training and a lot of community outreach programs. Large size of patient pool, computer assisted education! The interview took 4hours, and I had two interviews and one exit interview. Faculty members and staffs are really nice. In a conference room, all interviewees who were waiting for their turns had time to talk with several ADCOM members & each other."
"Lower the out of state tuition."
"I really liked the school and would feel fortunate to get my dental education at U of L"
"This was my first interview. I thought it was very relaxed, not at all what I expected. The people made you feel very comfortable. "
"Overall I was very impressed. The staff and doctors all seemed genuinely concerned with the student's education. The clinics are supposed to be renovated within the next few years, but the facility is pretty up-to-date."
"Louisville seemed like a great school which I could enjoy attending for 4 years. Compared to others, the students were very happy and not beaten down by the school."
"Went really well."
"My experience was positive. It's an all-day affair and you'll learn a lot about the school. The interviews were all about getting to know the person. My first interview with the admissions director started off, "You look good on paper. I just wanna know if you can communicate? You know what I'm sayin'?" 2nd interview was with a dentist. 3rd was an exit interview that sort of wraps up everything that happened from your interviews. Lunch and tour was informal and pleasant."
"We were given a lot of good info in the morning, then a tour, then lunch (pre-packed bags- they were good), then interviewed. In addition we watched some presentation about student life, hilarious but weird. "
"I had fun. No one was there to cause you any more stress that you had already brought with you. The degree of genuinely nice folks was amazing. I would love to go to U of L!"
"One of my interviewers was so layed back. he didn't even ask me any questions. He just talked. The other guy was much more professional, but he was a microbiologist, not a dentist. Neither of them really bragged about the school, just the area."
"one interviewer was a student, and all she wanted to do is give me advice, not interview me. the doctor that interviewed me was nice but it felt like it went over rather well. they also do an exit interview, mine was doen by this nice really old guy. i dont think he understood what i was saying. "
"Overall the day went by well. Everything was the same as the others, financial aid, overview of curriuclum, etc.... Interviews went well, the faculty was great. Very relaxed atmosphere, I loved that."
"I thought it was a positive experience and will attend here in a heartbeat if I get accepted. The U of L program is top notch!"
"terrific!!! i loved it. #1 on my list. everyone is so incredibly helpful and nice. i couldn't get over how invested the school seemed to be in their students."
"overall it was a relaxing and informative day"
"there are three interviews and last one is called 'exit' interview which you will have a chance to talk to dean of admission office. He will tell you if you get in or not even though it's not 100%, he will tell you the chances. that means your interview doesn't really affect on your admission. especially if you get an interview later than December, they usually looked at all the applications and picked the winners even before you get there. unless you win the nobel prize or something like that big right before the interview. Very conservative school.. "
"Louisville was a decent school, but I didn't leave there feeling enamored. There was nothing special about it. All the other schools I went to had some special feature that stood out. The people there were generally nice, and they arranged for discounted accomodations at some nice hotels. I just couldn't see myself going there. "
"I did not like the way the day was set up: about an hour of introduction/lecture by one person (who told too much extraneous information about back in the day, etc.) The financial aid session was informative, but then we had a tour, then lunch, and then we are supposed to have 3 interviews (I only had 2 -- my professor did the 2nd and 3rd). I also noticed that all the waiting rooms were virtually completely empty (on a Monday morning!) and all the facutly members were very old, which can be problematic if you are a female or a minority and they still hold very outdated beliefs (as was the case with my interviewer). My interview was pretty ridiculous."
"I had a great time at the interview and really liked what I saw. I think the program is strong and that I would enjoy going to school in Louisville. As for their facilities, they have a nice sim lab, but part of their clinics are older. They are in the process of updating their clinics and said they would be finished by the time I needed them."
"It was a long day but we learn a lot about the school. There is 3 interviews in between the interviews you sit in a room with other people getting interviewed. There's a lot of waiting."
"The interviews were very relaxed, I was way to stressed out ahead of time."
"it was really good. it took a long time, so eat a good breakfast, but they feed you a good lunch too. everyone was very helpful and accomidating. ask any questions you can think of. also, the financial aid program here seems the most generous of all i've seen anywhere."
"Overall was good except the interview with a snob (student). Everybody else was wonderful. "
"I arrived about 15 minutes before the interview and signed in. We had to wear nametags that said our home state. We were given a presentation by one of the faculty, a financial aid presentation, a tour, lunch, and then our interviews (one with a student, one with a faculty member, and then an exit interview). "
"Three interviews, two with faculty, and one with a student. The program really values what their students think."
"I got to hear a lot from current students and faculty alike. The actual interviews were relatively short and laid-back. The atmosphere was very conducive to being relaxed."
"The best presentation that I got anywhere. I learned a lot about a dental career and financial aid. Not just a dentist factory. Great learning atmosphere. Students are very happy to be there. One interview with a student, whic was closed file and very relaxed. One interview with faculty, who just is trying to get a sense of your personality. A final exit interview where they kind of give you an idea where you stand. They might ask you if you have been accepted anywhere else. I got the impression that unless you really put forth that it is your first choice, you will get wait listed or put on the next-to-be-called list (which is better to be on, and your chances are very high to be accepted)."
"My interview experience was much less stressful than I had anticipated. We had presentations in the morning by the dean and financial aid lady, followed by a tour of the school. After lunch were the interviews. Each person had 2 interviews one-on-one with an adcom member and then a short exit interview. In my interviews, basically all we did was chat and get to know one another. They just asked the standard questions- why to you want to be a dentist, ect. One of my interviewers told me that they look at the interview as just a chance to get to know the personality of the applicants. Everyone who got an interview is already qualified on paper, so they use the interview to see if you have the personality to make a good dentist"
"U of L really impressed me. The student body is so diverse- from a father of four, to a former frat boy, to everything in between. Everyone was so nice and helpful, and most importantly, enthusiastic about their school. For the interview, all you need is confidence and a great personality, that's really what they're looking for. Also, if this is your first choice, make sure you let them know. "
"It was awful! I'm a Kentucky resident and I was treated like some criminal. My DAT and gpa are much higher then their averages and they acted like they were doing a favor to me by interviewing me. I really did not like this school. Louisville is really boring. There is nothing to do in the city and most of the students are already married and have children. For sure going somewhere else. This school did not take."
"This school just makes you feel at home. How can you go wrong with that. Other schools should take note on how to interview properly. "
"The lunch was very generous, though we only had 15mins to eat it. A tour preceeds a set of three interviews with a admissions staffer, faculty member and current student."
"The interviews were completely laid back. I was in one for 1.5 hours just talking!"
"ULSD was my first choice, but after the experience I had I'll have to reconsider. The school seemed nice enough but that one interviewer was a total jerk."
"My first interview was with a 4th year, my second with a faculty member. In both, I was not so much asked questions as it was a discussion between the interviewer and I. It wasn't stressful at all, I wasn't sitting there wondering "what are they going to ask next?!?""
"Overall, it was great!"
"I had a great experience and really love the school. I really would love to go here but now I must wait and see. Everyone is so friendly and I just love the Southern accents! The day is really full and you are pretty much there the whole time. The morning was very informative with presentations."
"The day was really kinda fun. The interviews were low stress and relaxed...no hardball. The presentations and speakers were actually not that boring. Lunch could have been better. Overall, it was a great experience at a great school."
"The overall interview experience was positive, I would love to attend this school."
"It was so awesome. I love the school/students/faculty. I really hope that I get accepted. What a place to go to school! Really excited about the school. "
"The experience was much more pleasant than I anticipated (for my first interview). During my first interview (with a faculty member), I can't say that the interview was very "conversational"...he was just asking me questions, but none of them were very hard hitting. My second interviewer was a 4th year student, one of the same students that toured us around the building. She was very nice and easygoing. Actually, all of the student interviewers that I met that day were extremely nice. So, all in all, if you have an interview at ULSD, don't worry about it at all. I know now that I was nervous for no reason!"
"Very laid back, informative, friendly, overall positive. I even saw a baby gorilla at the Louisville Zoo while touring the city."
"Very good school in helping students, good board score average, and good clinic training!"
"very laid back and freindly. "
"I had a very good impression of the school before my interviews. After the day, I was confused and even though I felt that I had done well, I wasn't sure if it was where I wanted to be for four years."
"I enjoyed seeing the school, and got a great vibe from the faculty and students."
"very good. I would seriously condider going there with an acceptance."

"Admissions office was friendly and responsive to emails"
"Thank you for providing such a warm and friendly environment!"
"Keeping doing what you're doing, please!"
"The interview process was excellent."
"They are the nicest admissions staff!"
"No suggestions necessary. They are very friendly. I'm hesitant to call admissions offices at times because I feel I am bothering them, but they always make the conversation a pleasant experience."
"I like that they have "gone green" giving you any information you need (financial aid powerpoint, welcoming powerpoint, about Louisville powerpoint) on a flashdrive. That helped eliminate the need to write things down as well as allowed you to pay attention. The lunch was just so-so. I maybe would have had a greater variety of sandwiches."
"The presentations were pretty long, 3 hours straight of presentations. It would have been nice to do the first one, take a tour, then finish up and go to lunch."
"Cut down the powerpoint presentations... there are too many!"
"Don't change a thing. I attended the SLC interview group, and the format was great."
"n/a"
"Stop allowing Dr. Hicks to perform interviews."
"The presentation itself was a bit unorganized but it still worked"
"None"
"none, they were great."
"Too friendly!! People are alive!!"
