"Tell me something interesting and unique about yourself that isn't on your application." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell me about your research project." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell me about the comic you write for your school's newspaper. (I guess they want to see how each student is different! I didn't even think they'd see that detail in my app ;) )" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"SDN and web site" Report Response
"Their belief that all graduates should be competant general dentists before they move onto specialties (other schools push you right into a specialty early on)" Report Response
"The facilities - rooms have no windows and all fluorescent lighting. Somewhat of a stressful and depressing atmosphere. The preclin labs seemed great though!" Report Response
"That they are a great school, but seem to have some sort of inferiority complex. They try to mimic other schools and put the students in class for TONS of hours...just doesn't seem necessary." Report Response
"The interview itself was REALLY fun and relaxed, mostly because one of my interviewers was a cheerful, happy woman. (Usually UConn has neutral, stone-faced interviewers, but don't let that intimidate you!). They surprisingly asked about specific activities I'd done, like my music, my comic, being an EMT, etc., and didn't barrage me with academic or dentistry questions. So in that sense, it was more summarizing what I did. They asked me general questions about dentistry, but I didn't feel interrogated or anything. The room was HOT though, and it's different to have to talk to TWO people. But it's pretty short and relatively painless. Don't be afraid if they don't accept an answer - sometimes they keep asking until they like what they hear! About the school: it might be a little depressing-looking and feel like a hotel (it shared a building with a hospital), but they prepare GREAT dentists. It's a stressful and rigorous ride, but the students seem to be some of the best-prepared in the nation. They have a good balance of clinical and academia. I just don't know if I personally like the environment." Report Response
