"The amount of required clinic work - I think it's great to have all of that experience before you graduate. The students said they never have to go looking for patients because the patient pool is so large. Lots of exposure to all areas of dentistry. Always guaranteed to have a chair when you need to work in the clinic. New clinic is beautiful, lots of windows :) Apartments (dorms) right next to the school are nice. The school will offer you tutoring for free if you fail an exam. They seem to really care about each and every one of their students' success. 100% of students who apply to general practice residencies get in. LOW student-faculty ratio, 7-1 (all 4 years), 4-1 during endo (they teach rotary RCT)." Report Response
"Newark is scary/dangerous at night, but I was already aware of that. Older clinics need to be refurbished, but were still adequate and functional. Not a lot to do in the immediate area, but at least it's close to NYC." Report Response
"That it was going to take me 20 minutes to travel 3 miles on I280..." Report Response
"Like others here have said, I stressed out more than I ought to have. 16 interviewees total there the day I went. Each had their own interviewer (no doubling up). I felt the interview at NJDS was a very enjoyable experience. They taught us a lot about the school and gave us a short tour. I am very impressed with the school as a whole. We had lunch with the students, and they overall seemed pleased with their education and stressed that they feel the necessary clinical requirements for graduation are an excellent way to prepare you for the real world. They said the first two years are hell but that goes for any school. My one-on-one was relatively laid back, and was mostly a conversation about NJDS and the perks of dentistry. The interviewer gave me a lot of information about what makes NJDS different from other d-schools. Some interviews lasted 15 minutes, others like mine lasted 50. I was totally sold on the school :)" Report Response
