"the school's emphasis on providing a great clinical experience to its students. i entered thinking it'd be all about research, but i feel like they really tried to first sell themselves by describing the myriad of ways to immerse yourself in the community as a michigan dental student. awesome place." Report Response
"lake tahoe feeling, not used to such a suburban college town feel. pretty much a matter of if the school was in nyc, sf, boston, etc it'd be my #1 or 2." Report Response

"A lot of ethics questions: you spend eight minutes interviewing with someone at each of ten stations. At 9/10 stations, you read a prompt off a laminated sheet of paper and then proceed with the simple direction of "discuss." Essentially they're giving you medically and dental-related issues and scenarios from which they're gauging your knowledge of the profession (and issues of), your goals in being a dentist and your basic personality as it pertains to acting in a professional setting. While this sounds stressful, it really isn't. I could tell some of the interviewers were trying to grill me, but in the end all 10/10 of them turned out to be very supportive. You won't get a smile from all of them, but they won't bully you around like they might at some other schools either. In preparing for the prompts, I'd just recommend really knowing why you want to be a dentist, have a defined role of "what a dentist is" in your head, and really be able to describe (rather succinctly) how as a dentist you'll be able to ACTUALLY HELP others. Good luck!" Report Response
