What are your general comments?

There were two different interviews, one from faculty and one from a 3rd or 4th year student. I thought this was genius. The faculty one was open file and was pretty personal. They really wanted to get to know me which was excellent and referred a lot to my personal statement. The student interview was more to kind of dig a little deeper and see if you really meant business/could hack it in dental school. My experience may have differed with other students since there were 20 of us and 10 different interviewers for each interview.
