"The student interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school itself is phenomenal and was my favorite location of the 13 programs I interviewed at. Another point that stuck out was the quality of faculty.

"The facilities were awesome, truely one of the best schools out there. Clinical labs were amazing, great opportunities to do research (not required though) if interested. Even though there was 60 other applicants that day I didn't feel stressed or that I wasn't getting personal attention from the students or staff. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful, they really wanted us all to have a positive view of the school while we were there and all I heard were good things. All of the other people I met interviewing said UNC was their top pick, even the out of state applicants. They also pick really well rounded applicants with very diverse backgrounds, I was impressed by a lot of them. " More from this Member | Report Response

The faculties are amazing and the students really seemed excited about being at UNC. Our tour guides couldn't say enough good things. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone was extremley nice, welcoming, they were all great. The facility is top notch. It was just all together a great visit, plus they invite you for dinner the night before to check it out before hand. They do their hardest to make it comfortable and easy for you, unlike many schools." More from this Member | Report Response

"Students, faculty, and staff were VERY friendly and helpful and said many times that they were happy that we were interested in their school...it wasn't at all like they thought we were lucky to be there.

"The area is wonderful, college town, facilities were nice and looked like a lot of previous construction has been finished so everything looks nice and new. Good specialty placement, like 35% I believe go into specialties. Very strong clinical emphasis (start 1st yr)" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school is first class. There is a high level of professionalism. A relaxed process, but you could tell that they were serious about what they do. They are very proud of their school, and they should be. Many of the tools used and the dental textbooks written came from faculty and former faculty. Very good balance between clinical training and an ahead of the curve research facility. This is definitely not a dentist factory. Also, they will help you if you are having academic problems. The Chapel Hill area is a great combination of small town charm and big city amenities." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was impressed with the fact that neither of the faculty interviewers were out to "grill" me and the first one I had voluntarily conducted a closed file interview in order to remain "unbiased" about me. I felt as if I was in charge of the dialogue in terms of choosing topics to discuss which was rather enjoyable believe it or not." More from this Member | Report Response

"NOTHING!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Faculty and administration were definitely going through the motions. Didn't seemed thrilled to be there nor did they attempt to sell their school. It was more like we know you are dying to come here, so it's up to you to impress us. " More from this Member | Report Response

"they don't make a lot of decisions on Dec 1st (I didn't find this out until Dec 5th)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Out-of-state tuition, lacking D.D.S/Ph.D. program" More from this Member | Report Response

"Didn't provide lunch, just had snacks." More from this Member | Report Response

"NOTHING!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't get enough time to talk about what I what my interviewer know about me. They just ask me their questions and told me the time is up! So try to kinda squeeze in and relate to what you want them to know about you, in your answers." More from this Member | Report Response

"chapel hill traffic" More from this Member | Report Response

"Little. As an in-state student, it's a no-brainer." More from this Member | Report Response

"There seems to be an arrogance about the school. All of the other places where I interviewed treated me like they wanted me to go to there school where as unc treated me like i would be lucky if they let me in. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The informal dinner the night before was very nice but I couldn't tell who was a student, who was interviewing, and if they were a student what year they were. I just wish it was slightly more organized. Just be up front and direct with people." More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing negative." More from this Member | Report Response

"Had 3 30 minute breaks throughout the day." More from this Member | Report Response

"The cost of attendance" More from this Member | Report Response

"Large number of interviewee's, hard to tell when I walked out if it went alright or great." More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing really. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I didnt like the fact there were not that many restaurants and cafes on campus. I would of liked it more if there were more places on campus for students to spend time, like a starbucks or mcdonalds or club or bar. But there is stuff OUTSIDE of campus grounds which is not that bad." More from this Member | Report Response

"I flew in, rented a car, and stayed in a hotel to be interviewed by people my age!?!?!?!? I was interviewed by 1 third year student and one 2nd year student!!!! This was not very cool cuz they were my age and are NOT dentists yet. I also interviewed with as associate proffessor who seemed basically indifferent to my presence. Very snooty and cold place." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview process could be a little more personal but I think the fact that it is less personal lends itself to less stress on the applicants. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing." More from this Member | Report Response

"Too many people for an interview. The interview process seemed very impersonal and hectic at times." More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview itself is a bit impersonal. You end up being 1 of about 60 interviewees during the day and it's easy to get lost in the crowd. Admittedly the admissions staff knows the process used is quirky and relatively unpredictable." More from this Member | Report Response

"too many married students ?! it was weird to see all the spouses at the interview, holding folders and pens for the interviewees. what the heck. very few out-of-staters" More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing except that everyone is from NC" More from this Member | Report Response

"saturday morning at 730 BOOO! Some of the interviews seemed like they had lists of questions and where maybe less "conversational" or impromptu as some people might like. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Having to buy the school's pricey laptop, although I can understand the need for having everyone using the same software (no conflicts, etc.). Also, boards after the 1st year mean it'll be a rough first year. " More from this Member | Report Response

"For clarification purposes, there are three 30 minute interviews scheduled for the half day process; one of which is by a student. I felt that the student was rather brash and almost a little bit rude- perhaps the fact that I am a non-science major (while she was a double Biology and Chemistry major in college) and that I chose to speak about non-science topics made her uncomfortable since she evidently either didn't care about what I was saying or lacked the background knowledge to "connect" with what I was talking about. Either way, I got the impression from other older dental students that the student interview really does not matter all that much. Also, you should know that about 75 people are invited to interview during each of the 4 Saturdays relgated for the process and although everything is very efficent and smooth, you get the impression that you are just a number and nothing else." More from this Member | Report Response

"Costly for an out of state resident, but other than that nothing much." More from this Member | Report Response

"cost? but its worth it" More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview process, to rigid. i dont feel their interview process is fair to the students. my faculty interviewer interviewed 7 other candidates, how is he supposed to remember me. i would recomend wearing a bow tie or doing something else to help you stand out in their mind after you leave" More from this Member | Report Response

"The amount of people there being interviewed (about 75)," More from this Member | Report Response

"There were a large number of interviewees. This raised the stress level. There were 75 however some of these were said to be rescheduled due to a hurricane." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing - it was organized to a T! Students were very friendly - very warm,friendly atmosphere as well as technologically advanced." More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"It's a lot less stressful than you think it'll be!" More from this Member | Report Response

"No." More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview is super laid back. They will ask you questions directly related to you app." More from this Member | Report Response

"That the interview isn’t a fair process." More from this Member | Report Response

"Relax. It's a very laid back process." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews are VERY conversational; you're not fed a steady diet of interview questions. It's very natural, and the questions flowed from the conversation in a logical manner." More from this Member | Report Response

"How relaxed it was going to be! The interviewers don't have a list of questions they must get through, they just want to get to know you." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing!" More from this Member | Report Response

"more info on the new building" More from this Member | Report Response

"Can't use a debit card to pay for parking in the deck they tell you to... also it was a gameday so it was really hectic." More from this Member | Report Response

"3 interviews" More from this Member | Report Response

"How relaxed the interviews were, b/c I heard a few horror stories." More from this Member | Report Response

"The actual location of the dental school." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was well informed about everything that went on during the day. I would only suggest that ladies not wear heels that are too high because you are on your feet all day walking from room to room doing interviews and attending various sessions." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were 3 interviews. 2 faculty and 1 student. " More from this Member | Report Response

"How hectic it was - over 50 students at one interview day, they schedule the day in 30 minute blocks so you run around from here to there all day" More from this Member | Report Response

"Coinciding football game increased parking fee from $6 to $10" More from this Member | Report Response

"How laid-back the process was." More from this Member | Report Response

"That I will be given enough time to talk about my volunteer activities, research ...; didn't really happen! After all you want them to remember you, and not just sitting there answering the typical questions with typical answers!" More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing really" More from this Member | Report Response

"They split everyone into 4 groups and we all had different interview schedules, some people had all of their interviews in the first 2 hours while some had them at the end of the day. Be prepared because you might have your first interview at 8 am with all three interviews back-to-back, thankfully that didn't happen with me. " More from this Member | Report Response

"that it would be as laid back as it was" More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing..." More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"The student interview was closed file " More from this Member | Report Response

"That the student interview is closed file. I thought that my student interviewer had read my application previously. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I didnt realize that UNC was a top 5 dental school. I realized halfway through the process that I was competing against the top students in the nation." More from this Member | Report Response

"That students have such a big role in the admissions process." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone was helpful and friendly and inviting. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing." More from this Member | Report Response

"no lunch" More from this Member | Report Response

"Last years class 3.6 nonsci, 3.54 sci, and 20/20/18 DAT pretty solid (22RC). And as mentioned in other posts, 30% sci gpa, 30% DAT, 40% interview. ssems good for those who have a great interview but for those who have a bad day. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really. I prepared myself for any scenario (and slept little the night before!). Although it's not my plan right now, I didn't know that they had such success with matching into specialty programs." More from this Member | Report Response

"There was nothing that I wished I had known about. Just make sure you have plenty of questions ready to ask your interviewer if the conversation starts lagging- they really do expect you to ask them questions(this is really important)! One more thing, they gave us the break down of how they evaluate you in terms of your competitivness during a power point presentation by Dr. Guckes, the Dean of admissions, which stated that your science GPA counts for 30% (along with any trends in grades), DAT scores count for 30% and interview counts as 40%. This info is not available anywhere else." More from this Member | Report Response

"The students were at a fall break so I was unable to see student life at the campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"No specific campus housing. Students have to live in apartments." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing, I went there undergrad and was always impressed with the facilities but not with the faculty and I still feel the same way. Things are very clinical and no one "treats you like family" here. Also, the students seem very competitive with eachother and like to blow their own horns." More from this Member | Report Response

"It is a long walk from the parking deck to the school in uncomfortable shoes." More from this Member | Report Response

"That it was actually going to be an enjoyable experience" More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Don't overthink your answers, just say what's in your heart" More from this Member | Report Response

"This school and the interviews were top notch!" More from this Member | Report Response

"my dream school!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"This school was unreal, and I would highly suggest applying there even though it is extremely competitive as an OOS student. They are the best of both worlds (world renowned, great COA). I was lucky enough to interview at many other outstanding programs, but UNC definitely stood out." More from this Member | Report Response

"Loved this school!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I think the interview is more a personality exam than a gauge of your abilities to interview. They seem to be trying to figure out who you are personally and how you would fit within their upcoming class. Be yourself, because that's (most likely) why you got a interview in the first place." More from this Member | Report Response

"Compared to the other three interviews I have been to, I felt the most comfortable interviewing with the two faculty members and student, mostly because they were genuinely interested in getting to know me and my aspirations and personality. One interview ended up running overtime because we were so engaged in our conversation. It was definitely a good sign! I believe the clinical training is second to none. They start you early and provide you with a lot of exposure in the specialities (all are represented at the school!), which is one of the main reasons I chose UNC." More from this Member | Report Response

"Review your application. Many of the questions I was asked related specifically to my application" More from this Member | Report Response

"Awesome school, brand new facilities, and great staff make this a wonderful place to go to school." More from this Member | Report Response

"be sincere and prepare adequately." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very impressive, definitely in my top 3 of picks!" More from this Member | Report Response

"An overall great experience. They are definitely my number one choice." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved the school overall! It is a top five school consistently. They are doing some renovations that will be completed in 2012. I would also encourage all interviewees to attend the student mixer the night before. It really helped to put me at ease before the interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"My advice to the administration: Make the applicants feel desirable. At all my other interviews the school told the applicants why they were chosen for interviews and what they liked about each one of us. They discussed our files in the personal interviews and addressed our strong points. UNC simply said here are average statistics. If your in-state you have a 25% chance of getting in. Out of state a little higher now that you have been invited on an interview. Impress us and show us something special or you won't get in. Good luck " More from this Member | Report Response

"Top-notch dental school, great reputation, beautiful area and an easy decision for in-state applicants" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great School, if you get the chance to visit, go!" More from this Member | Report Response

"they provide food and refreshments all day and you are given down-time between interviews." More from this Member | Report Response

"AWESOME SCHOOL!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Make sure you have answers for the general questions like, ''why dentistry?'', and ''why UNC?''. But, be careful not to let the know that have just memorized an answer...pause for a few seconds, think and answer. Be honest, smile(when appropriate!), and be polite and show some enthusiasm." More from this Member | Report Response

"great experience; interviews were more conversations...very relaxed; unc is one of the best d-schools and a no brainer for in-staters; " More from this Member | Report Response

"Positive, laid-back, and straightforward." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were 60 of us there and we had 3 individual interviews, 2 with staff and 1 with a student. The student interview is closed file and but the faculty ones are open. The school is amazing. It was the most stressful interview I went to. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very good experience, they really try to make it as stress free as possible. Make sure you know about the state of dentistry in NC esp if you in state. They WILL ask you questions to see if you know what's going on in the state. Defn my top pick after the interview. " More from this Member | Report Response

"great. there is an optional friday night social, which i highly recommend attending. there are a lot of current unc students you can speak with along with speaking with 60 other predents. saturday you are split up into 4 groups and you rotate b/t 3 interviews, a tour, a student panel, a presentation, and a couple of breaks. the 2 faculty interviews are open-file and the student interview is closed-file. on saturday morning they have this insane breakfast spread for everyone to munch on throughout the day. it was very well organized and shed the school in a terrific light!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall highly organized, clean experince where there are three interviews. Each was at least 30 minutes long. Each interviewer was familiar with my file, and had unique things to say about UNC. Overall this was the best interview conducted I had participated in. I had heard this so nothing surprised me, it simply corroborated my assertion that UNC is one of the absolute TOP dental schools in the country." More from this Member | Report Response

"It went well, I already knew what to expect from having interviewed there before." More from this Member | Report Response

"There's a lot of student being interviewed, but very organized. The first interview is done by a students, which is good because they help you relax. There are breaks between each of the 3 interviews. Overall the faculty and students are very laid back. The whole interviewing process goes by pretty quick! The campus is beautiful, and the school is diverse. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Low stress easy conversational" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school with a great faculty and great facilities. The faculty really cares about their students and I sensed that they try very hard to turn them into good dentists. I also enjoyed that it was less stressful than I had imagined. I was still nervous, but in a good way. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Its very good. It was my first interview. I went in BLIND, not knowing anything and I left feeling I left my mark. I got a chance to talk to a million students, professors, and even spent 30 minutes talking to asst. dean, which you cant at most schools. Overall, apply here if you have the grades. You will love it, its a top school and you will love it." More from this Member | Report Response

"A waste of time because I did not get in. I was irritated by the condesending student interviewers. They interview like 80 people at a time and that sucks too!!! Every other dental school that I went to at least tried to make the interview seem a little bit about me and not how great the school is. But its cheap and good, so whatever." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was in a group of 64 total applicants and we were broken down into 4 subgroups that toured together and had similar interview schedules. Two faculty/staff interviews 30 min each and one student interview 30 min in length. Excellent interview experience. Very welcoming and happy that you are interested in their school. Students, faculty, and staff are very professional and helpful. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The 2 faculty interviews and 1 student interview were very informal and low stress. All interviews were conversational and I felt the faculty was interested in me as a person, and not just another applicant that they had to ask the same set of questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were a total of 64 other interviewees at this school for my interview. We were split into 4 different groups and had our own schedule. It seemed very hectic, but well-structured. At the sametime, I didn't get the personal interaction that I expect from visiting a prospective dental school. All in all, this school seems to be proud of their tradition and personifies their perspective of excellence. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Excellent school, smooth interview process that could be a little more personal." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had 2 faculty interviewers and one student interview. One professor was extremely nice - I felt like he was trying to be very honest about the school, yet he was more responsible for my overall impression of the school than anything else. The other professor was not personable at all. He just lobbed questions at me and didn't even make much eye contact. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very good. Chapel Hill remains one of my top choices, it has great clinics, top professors and nice students." More from this Member | Report Response

"2 faculty and then a student interview. They were all relatively low-key conversations, but I did feel a bit of pressure." More from this Member | Report Response

"3 interviews 30 mins each, but more like 20-25. Very organized day, but lots of interviewees there, oddly lots of out of staters too. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was my very first interview date, so I was a little anxious to say the least (the stress level I picked above had more to do with me than the school). But all of the interviews were very relaxed and conversational. Total of three interviews: 1 with student (closed), 2 with faculty (open). No really probing questions, just trying to get a sense of who you are, and your personality. In fact, during my last interview, we mostly talked about books we were reading at the time. Oh yeah, if you don't already, learn to love basketball!" More from this Member | Report Response

"You need to arrive at the dental school by 7:45 on a Saturday morning. Once there, the staff has set out a long table with a continental style breakfast available for you if that's something you are interested in. You then approach the information desk and check in; you are assigned a group number 1-3, are given a name tag, and a schedule based on your group number. The half day extravaganza is divided into 30 minute increments with 3 interviews, a tour of the school, a financial aid talk, and a student question and answer session at the very end. Overall, I was very impressed with the faculty, the facilities, and low stress atmosphere of the situation." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great experience and great school. Interview was conducted with 59 other candidates, so it was a little overwhelming at first. But the day was so organized, that it flew by. Both my faculty interviewers were awesome and really nice. UNC is top three in schools I would like to be accepted to and possibly attend." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, not bad. The facilities and faculty are great, but the interview process needs to be refined. However, if I get in I would defininently attend. The school is great, I just dont like the admissions process." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a nice experience and I do reccommend the school because it has excellent facilities and a great reputation. Good luck if you are out-of-state. You know the feeling you get when you find that dental school that is just right for you and you feel very much at home there? Well I did not have that feeling while interviewing at Carolina but maybe you will:) " More from this Member | Report Response

"Expect the common interview questions - Why dentistry? What do you do in your free time, etc. Know your stuff when it comes to medicaid and NC dentistry. Very relaxed, and use the atmosphere to your advantage. I was accepted in 12/03 to UNC" More from this Member | Report Response
