What are your general comments?

What the person said just before me is exactly right. If you are ahead of the game, and are applying early AND are a Florida resident--you should have a much better experience. UF, as with most state schools, are only alowed to accept 10% from out of state. Chances are that they don't even come close to that number. My interview, as well as everyone I spoke with that day, was more like a casual conversation, with the typical dental questions. Just be yourself, have a little fun, and if you can do it right, make them laugh a little- it lightens the mood! Overall, I had a very good time.
