What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I knew about the role model essay, however everyone failed to mention the 25-30 minute time limit. Also be prepared to be put on the spot by the Dean. Its a good chance he will ask you "why do you want to be a dentist" infront of everyone, so just sum up your prepared answer and give it back to him sharply. If you don't sit in the front of the long table you might can avoid this. Also people who sit at the table (when they take you up stairs) are the first to interview while everyone else goes on the tour. I wish I knew that the first question in my interview was "why dentisty?"" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The interview was great. The other people interviewing are just as nervous as you (even if they don't show it), so just be confident. The professor who interviewed me was positive and relaxed. The new simulation labs are so tight. The students are nice, so its similar to a family oriented environment. The Dean talks alot, but he is very friendly and gives off a genuine concern about the school and the students. I got my acceptance letter the other day, and Howard is where you will find me in the fall. Be confident, be prayerful, and be yourself. Holla." Report Response
