What impressed you negatively?

"The students were unenthusiastic and not really helpful when showing us around...but they were still nice, don't get me wrong. Perhaps, they should have picked a more motivated group of individuals.

What are your general comments?

"Overall it was nice...Uconn is now one of my top choices. The small class size and "extremely demanding" curriculum will definately ensure a good dental education to anyone who is willing to go through it. The interview itself is not exactly stressful, but not a blow-off either. THe ask ALOT of questions...trust me, you'll be talking the WHOLE time, so be prepared for anything. " Report Response
