"The faculty was very fun-loving, and an approachable bunch. We were asked to interview as we stepped into the Dental School so that we could get the most anticipated part over with (Which I thought was very considerate, as the info sessions were that much more enjoyable afterwards). My interviewer was very kind and courteous and did not ask any questions in a condescending tone at all (unlike the ones from other schools). The tour was nice, they have a brand new wing recently added, and the facilities are VERY NICE! Great school for clinical. They also prepare you for your boards by giving you "decks" that you have to memorize for the exams. Students were enthusiastic to be there and were very helpful. Very nice school overall.

"The location (as you might have guessed). According to current students, the surrounding area, Parking lots , etc. can get very unsafe at nights, meaning anytime after 6:00 PM, which I am definitely not used to, coming from an undergraduate school where most ppl study in public libraries till 2 or 3 in the morn and then leave to go home. Quite unsafe for women especially. " Report Response
"Nothing. That the interview was very relaxed and went very well was a pleasant surprise to me, for I had prepared for the interview as if I was going to cross-examined. So for those reading this, sorry to ruin the surprise but it is going to be quite chilled out. (Not to say you shouldnt do all the prep work you think u need to)" Report Response
"I got there at 8:45 am and was directed to the conference room where all the candidates had gathered. Breakfast was served, but given that we were to interview soon, no one ate too much lol. They also let you bring along either a family member or a close friend, whoever you feel might want to come to this sesison with you, so I thought that it was very nice of them to extend this offer. Once I got to the conference room, I chatted a bit with the other candidates and took a seat in one of the plush leather chairs they had there. At the stroke of 9, one by one, the interviewers came in and started taking ppl for their interviews. Mine was one of the first ones, so I was a bit nervous. NO NEED TO BE. The faculty were chilled out to the max, and do not usually put ppl on the spot. After the interview, there was a presentation by the Director of Admissions (Great guy, we talked about golf during our snack break), an endodontist, and another Faculty Member. This was followed by a tour by the faculty member from the Presentation. It was a nice informative tour which lasted about an hour or so. Then it was Lunch/schmooze with current dental students WITHOUT any faculty members present in the room. Then, we were given a tour by the students, (just as a side-note, warn your parents before you are lead into the room with the dead bodies by the Students! yipes was that crazy!) After this, a short tour of the library and thats it, you exit!" Report Response
