⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The only reason I can logically see anybody attending Harvard dental is for the name, and it's apparent in the students that go there (at least the ones I met). You have to realize that Harvard Dental is nothing like Harvard Law, Business, or Medicine.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why Harvard?

What was the most interesting question?

nothing

How did you prepare for the interview?

Got info on the school from the internet and the school introduction that you have before your interview.

What was the most difficult question?

nothing

What impressed you positively?

By far the most impressive aspect of the school is the location, Boston. The med school was extremely nice and taking med classes would be pretty sweet. Also, you're pretty much guaranteed acceptance into a specialty if you graduate from Harvard. Problem based learning.

What impressed you negatively?

The schools I talked to were cocky as hell (and it didn't seem like they had much to be that cocky about). The lab and clinic were probably the worst I've seen. The cost is not worth the education you receive at Harvard. I believe you can get a better education at many other schools (at least the ones I interviewed at).
