How did you prepare for the interview?

"Asked other students who interviewed." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"There were a lot of bums waiting in the waiting room to be seen. Since the location is in a very poor neighborhood (the GHETTO), there were lots of poor people waiting to be seen. I guess this is good, but the schools doesn't practice very good infection control." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"I talked to 10 students, 9/10 of the students hated this school. The other one had no choice because he needed to be in Philly. They did not like it at all due to the fact that they were not treated well. Previously, there was this guy Mark (aka Used Car Salesman) who interviewed students and sold the school making the students think that the school is better than it is. In fact the school really sucks. The Dean of the school is not even a dentist. I would not recommend this school to anyone." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Had I know that the people running the school didn't care about the students, I would not have wasted my time and made a trip to come here. The students said that they don't even know who the dean was and what he does daily. They are not sure if he's even in school. Had I known that this would be a waste of time, I would have not applied in the first place." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The tour was ok, the interviewers were sincerely unsatisfied with the environment they were working in and the most students hated their school. The place really insn't worth spending 4 years in. I would not recommend coming to this place at all." Report Response
