What are your general comments?
The interview was very chill and conversational. He did have prepared questions that he had to ask me. My interview was about 30 min, but I actually talked with the interviewer for an extra 30 min about the school, dentistry in general, and the best way for me to get back to penn station. Taxi Cab, of course :)
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN & school website
What was the most difficult question?
The strength and weakness question. (I try not to be P.C. with the perfectionist answer that they probably hear 99% of the time)
What impressed you positively?
The interaction between the faculty and our tour guide was pretty refreshing. Granted he was the class president, but the faculties were cracking jokes and everyone appeared to enjoy the school. The facilities are pretty top notch. Also you get "Invisiline Certified" in your second year.
What impressed you negatively?
Why does it have to cost so much
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The fail out rumors are apperently false. The Class President said that it's around 3% which is below the national average. It sounded like you have to slack off pretty bad to fail out.
