What are your general comments?
I was there with two other interviewees, one who arrived very late (but they accomodated him). They did not have a big information session or multimedia presentation. They did brief us on financial aid. There were two seperate interviews with different people. They take you to their offices. My two interviewers were very different from each other. I felt really good about the first one and not so good about the second. Students take you on a quick tour and then to lunch. You have a lot of opportunity to talk to them in a very small group.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Do you think you would learn well in a small group setting?
What was the most interesting question?
What do you not like about dentistry?
(After a slight pause, my interviewer qualified by saying "It's ok, whatever you say will have no bearing on the outcome of your interview." ---what the heck man? I'm pretty sure that's just not possible)
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, going to other interviews
What was the most difficult question?
Do you have questions for me? (they leave you a lot of time for questions, so be prepared)
What impressed you positively?
The students were very professional looking/acting, friendly, and helpful. The clinics are great, you are assigned one which is all yours. They have a scheduling system for patients (you have something like an office manager). Good business preperation. Preclinic and Sim Lab are really nice and new.
What impressed you negatively?
Parking= very,very bad. City=ghetto. Tuition= very expensive.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That one of my interviewers would be so cool and we would have a frightening number of things in common. New cirriculum is P/F and they have PBL, which I'm kinda on the fence about. Yayy for four years of navy blue scrubs Class of '11.
