"read SDN" Report Response
"everything! But i think what -most- impressed me were how friendly and down-to-earth the students were. Honestly, none of them had a snooty attitude, none of them had the stereotypical monster-egos that HSDM students are rumored to have. everyone was just incredibly honest, friendly, sincere, and humble. just very real people. Also, was excited that HSDM is constructing a new building which we were told would be ready in the fall. " Report Response

"how much I would have liked Harvard. I went there, having read all these negative things about the school here on SDN...but I think i really just had to go there for myself, to experience the interview, and make up my own mind. " Report Response
"I had an amazing time at HSDM. I was impressed with so much of their curriculum, the friendliness of their faculty and students, and the overall non-competitive learning environment. I was impressed with HSDM and it wasn't because of their ivy-league name (i went to an ivy league undergrad and i'm not really going to be impressed with a dental school JUST because it's an ivy-league. in fact, with penn, i was really turned off b/c they KEPT on reminding us that they were ivy-league...i really liked penn's curriculum, but i just felt that the intro talk was just too focused on proclaiming their ivy-league status every few minutes). Actually, at harvard, they didn't even mention (not once!) that they were ivy-league. i appreciated that. I just had a really great time at my interview. I felt like they really welcomed me, made a great effort to make me feel comfortable, and were really personable. The interview was by far one of the most fun I've had because we talked about everything and it was all just sharing our experiences, telling funny stories, etc. " Report Response
