What are your general comments?
The school is great for research and dentistry. I did not feel like I fit in, but I think its a great school for others. Also, you have to talk about yourself to both interviewers, pretty much repeating everything on your application. You had to make sure to tell them the exact amount of information, it should have just been open file. I do not think they got a sense of who I was as a person, because I was too busy telling them everything I had participated in the last four years of college.
