How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

"Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Students seemed happy to be there. Facilities were above average, but not quite top notch. The whole day was very organized and informative." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"They have no international externship opportunities for students - only regional. Not a big deal though since students can find their own externship opportunities independently." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I didn't really feel as though I was caught off-guard by anything. They give you a handout at the beginning of the day that lays out the day's activities, so you know what to expect throughout the day. I had heard that UW interviewers like to ''grill'' applicants during the interview, so I guess I wish I had known that they would be much more laid back and friendly. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"They ask a lot of questions that are designed to get a sense of who you are and how you will fit into the upcoming class. I don't think they asked why dentistry or why do you want to go to this school (pretty standard at other schools). The questions were more aimed at getting me to sell myself and my positive qualities. What sets me apart, what will I bring to the field, what leadership qualities do I have, etc. They also will ask lots of questions about your personal statement and other aspects of your application."
