What are your general comments?

"I really enjoyed the day. I didn't know what to expect, but the school and faculty really impressed me. Dr. Spears has a lot of good information (be sure to ask good questions) during the conference room briefings. I haven't interviewed at UTSA or UTH yet, but I think they will have to prove to me that they are better than Baylor. The impression and vibes I got convinced me that Baylor will make you a complete and more confident dentist(versus UTSA and UTH). " Report Response
