The sim. lab is also fairly new, very very spanking clean and impressive compared to another sim. lab at another school I have seen. This somewhat explains the high cost of this school, but we all know it is very expensive to build a brand new clinic with 25 new chairs... The staffs were also very polite, professional, and providing both breakfast and lunch is very nice of them..." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved being in Boston. I wasn't too crazy about the blistering cold (which was mild compared to January I was told). I also loved how the school caters to their students. I loved how we were able to talk to the dental students alone. I was impressed by their APEX program. I only wished we could have talked to more faculty.

"Oh, the clinics are normally busy...". They send you on externships and APEX because there's not enough patients at the school, in my opinion anyway. Students also said "you don't do much of endo, it's too tedious", and "you refer extractions down to oral surgery". I want to learn to be a dentist, not how to refer things out and not do procedures because they're too tedious! The facilities were also "meh", nothing too special. During some of the presentations, some of the faculty were yawning and had their head in their hands, and playing with their cell phone. Doesn't exactly send a professional message."

"Dr. Pollins, the guy who gave us the talk about the school, was really boring. The students all seemed like the worst stereotype of dentists...white, male, and going home to join their daddy's practice after graduation. They didn't seem like people I would be proud to have as colleagues. Dr. Pollins didn't seem to respect us as future professionals, either - he told us that we couldn't get out of exams just because our girlfriend/boyfriend had dumped us the night before, which I thought was rather unnecessary...Overall the school struck me as really corporate and unacademic. I'm sure it would be a good personality match for some people (I could tell that some people in my interview group really liked it), but for me, it would be a bad fit.

What are your general comments?

"don't stress! just be genuine!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Advice: stay loose and act like you are just meting a colleague or family member for coffee. The interview is VERY informal, the interviewer just wants to have a genuine conversation with you. Keep your file/CV/script handy to refer to (assuming its on zoom) just incase but don't stress about hitting every talking point. Just let the conversation flow." More from this Member | Report Response

"I really liked the school. Clinic was great, sim lab and everything was on par with other schools. My only concern was the patient base, but students seemed to have no problem completing their competencies. " More from this Member | Report Response

"lousy location. tufts is right next to the subway station. you have to take a bus from the subway to get to BU. didnt like boston much. rude people. also, not sure if this speaks for the whole city but there was race protest in downtown boston. bunch of rednecks with racist cardboards walking around. was quite shocked by this" More from this Member | Report Response

"Beautiful school. Very welcoming staff. I didn't think much of BU until I interviewed there." More from this Member | Report Response

"This was my first interview and so I was really scared and nervous. I studied extensively for this interview, going over possible questions over and over in my head. All you need to do is make sure you know whats in your AADSAS application and personal statement, study the BU website (just in case you want to throw some facts into the interview to look good), and most importantly JUST BE YOURSELF! Seriously." More from this Member | Report Response

"She gave me her card first.. and I noticed right away she has a degree in education. So we talked about education (my tutoring and teaching experience.. and learning English as my second language) for the most part. Nothing about dentistry haha. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Really enjoyed the school overall. Large class size, but good teacher to student ratio. Best advice: be yourself. " More from this Member | Report Response

"while you are waiting for your interview during lunch...talk to the other students and relax! it was definitely the best thing i did to calm down" More from this Member | Report Response

"Wish they would have been more specific about available spots and had a time better time frame of when we can hear back" More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview was with a non-dentist administrator, which I thought was kind of silly. Also, they scheduled my interview in early February for mid-March, so in the meantime I had been accepted to two other schools. BU was definitely the worst of the schools I interviewed at, but maybe I was biased since I'd interviewed other places before. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Most of the SDNers have said that BU interviews are the coolest. I agree with them! Just be calm and truthfull, read your SOP well since its an open file iv most of the questions are from your own writing. " More from this Member | Report Response

"As many others had said, the interview is very conversational and they just want to know you :)" More from this Member | Report Response

"BU has everything going for it from a faculty and student perspective, but I can't justify the cost for the facilities that I saw." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was excellent. It was sooo relaxing and everyone made you feel comfortable. Dr. Shaw is a sweetheart. I interviewed with Dr. Stoute and he is a wonderful man. He made me feel comfortable and was delighted to see the students who were there. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was very relax and comforting. I really enjoyed my interviewer." More from this Member | Report Response

"the interviewer was very nice, talked about my relatives who attended BU, the weather, very laid back. No grilling and more of a conversation. The lecture prior to the interview was held by another ADCOM person and this guy was intense. Very honest and blunt, very different from other faculty members. Overall a good experience" More from this Member | Report Response

"Didnt get a good vibe from the school. Seems like it's run more like a business rather than a school. Didnt feel like i was a distinct student to them. I'll be going else where." More from this Member | Report Response

"it was really laid back. the interview itself was very laid back. the doc seemed to talk more than i did, which i guess is a good thing. just sit and listen ;) and look interested " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was great overall, I wouldn't stress about the interview; it's more like a conversation, just relax and be yourself." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviewer asked me about almost everything in my application, starting with the numbers (GPA and DAT) to hobbies and goals. Further into the interview, it became much more relaxed and it turned out that his son and I both played the same instruments and similar hobbies. Play on whatever peaks the interviewer's interest. If he/she is a hard-ass and you feel you're not getting anywhere, ask them questions about their personal life and they'll open up right away. At least it always worked for me." More from this Member | Report Response

"Wonderful. I've never had such a pleasant interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"BU sucks. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Positive...the school is laid back, the students seem happy...the interviewers were very friendly and put you at ease" More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviewer was a woman on the admissions staff. People were interviewed by either a faculty member or admissions staff. She was incredibly sweet and friendly. The conversation was very laid back, and I enjoyed talking with her." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a good experience to see the school and meet some of the administrators and students, but I think I expected more." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a regional and ended up visiting cause I had another interview in the same city the next week so my experience was somewhat unique, but it seemed like a really good school with more than enough to offer students. The interview was laid back and interesting, don't stress it too much." More from this Member | Report Response

"good" More from this Member | Report Response

"As I was foretold, the interview was pretty casual- I was asked about a number of things in my application, about dentistry and about my dental experience." More from this Member | Report Response

"it was very laid back, a directed conversation where they asked you the obvious questions, but mostly wanted to get to know you a little bit. Not at all an interrogation." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day started with a light breakfast. Then two dental students started the tour. The facilities were nice[looked new]. Along the tour we met some of the faculty, they were very nice, and asked us if we were having a good time. They also help relieve any anxiety we had. Then we went to their other building and saw the Sim lab[really nice!]. Then came back in. Dr.Shaw came and spoke to us, again she's so linda! I love her Bosotn accent, for example she pronounced the word 'after' as "..aaafter". Then lunch and during lunch another student came in and talked to us. When we finised lunch we the interview process started. One by one they the interviewers came in and called our names. This I'd say was the only time I felt stressed, only because I wasn't called immediately." More from this Member | Report Response

"I hope you can carry a conversation because if you can't I think this interview will be a little hard for you. Its more of a conversation than a bunch of questions and answers however, in the conversation you can talk about yourself. Just be confident and relax. This interview was pretty stress free and I did not sense any tension between the other interviewees" More from this Member | Report Response

"There was a small group of us interviewing. We had to wait in the conference room for about 30 min before our student tour leader arrived. At least everyone interviewing was cool. Our tour leader had never given a tour before so we didn't really get a good look at the clinics and the whole tour was kind of sub-par. We had lunch and then our interviews which were really laid-back even though my interviewer seemed really bored. Then a talk about financial aid which was actually really informative. No mention about the cirriculum at all which was odd." More from this Member | Report Response

"Positive" More from this Member | Report Response

"They pulled us away individually just before lunch. My interview was with Dr. Stoute. It was a conversation, but he did ask some questions i wasn't expecting." More from this Member | Report Response

"The student who gave the tour of the school was very friendly and did a great job in giving us a complete tour of the facility. Faculties that we run into during the tour show so much interest in each one of us and made us feel we are at home. You'll be surprise how friendly and easy going the faculties are. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was very laid back. They asked very simple and straightforward questions. But after some questions, the interview was like a conversation." More from this Member | Report Response

"Interview was very informative. The interviewer was very nice and laid back. It seemed more like a conversation than an interview. " More from this Member | Report Response

"It was nothing like an interview.They behaved as if we are visitors there and they have to show the place around." More from this Member | Report Response

"Every one there are very friendly and will make you feel at ease.We had a short, simple and informative orientation.Students are friendly and will answer any questions you might wanna know." More from this Member | Report Response

"One thing I must definitely say is that the interview was very laid back so make sure you are not so stressed out about it that you fail to actually learn about the school itself. Take the time and thought to ask good questions, take a good look around Boston if you aren't from there to make sure you like it or not. Interview was really good...have fun, enjoy it, and RELAX!" More from this Member | Report Response

"felt very good after the whole interview day.Got the best treatment here" More from this Member | Report Response

"great" More from this Member | Report Response

"The overall process was great except for the "lecture" right before the personal interviews. Right before the interview, you kind of want some time to prepare yourself mentally and we didnt really have that. The personal interview turned out to be a very laid back conversation about certain things on your application they were unsure about or wanted further information on. We talked through current events for a bit, talked about Boston in general, talked about doing residency in the future and some other stuff. There was a little bit of tension between all the applicants, not too bad though." More from this Member | Report Response

"everyone was really friendly and laid back. The tour of the scool took about an hour and a half." More from this Member | Report Response

"good." More from this Member | Report Response

"Tour was way too long. My interviewer snuck in the waiting room as a stranger. He started eating and talking for 30 min while the one on one interview had begun then he identified himself a interviewer when he's done his coffee and donuts. I still cant forget his greediness to those terrible food on the table. I know it was a laid-back interview, but I totally felt disrespected. IT IS INTERVIEW, NOT YOUR BREAKFAST TIME. BEARD DUDE!!! Since he's talked a lot before taking me to his office. He only asked two questions and then kept asked me "any questions".... He brought me back to the waiting room and guess what~~ he then looked around any leftover~~ But the food was really bad, he then opened a can of coke beofore heading back to his office. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very good. The city is extremelly academic and BU's curricullum is awesome. I got accepted the 20th and am very happy about it. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Just a conversation to make sure that I wasn't a moron. It must have worked cause I got in." More from this Member | Report Response

"The tour around the dental school was very helpful. My interview was very short and laidback, although it almost seemed like my interviewer didn't even care. Got accepted 2 weeks after." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school was nice but they could not defend the problem of too many students to patients. Thus I assume chair time will be a problem. Also during the interiew you will have to introduce yourself at least five times. We went around the table every time a new DS came in to answer question and talked about ourselves. We all were very put off by this." More from this Member | Report Response

"Cold. Weak school. Weak program. Disorganized. They don't let you interact with students because they are scared of what the students might say. No wonder no one wants to go there." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was just great. I did come out not knowing where I stood. If I could be hopeful or not." More from this Member | Report Response

"Relaxed and very smooth, Dr. Stoute just want to know me and see what I was like, nothing more. It was what an interview shoud be like! " More from this Member | Report Response

"Dont like how the tour comes before the actual interviews. All in all, good experience, had achance to ask a lot of questions. Student giving the tour was also very helpful." More from this Member | Report Response

"best interview yet, mind u...i haven't had many :(" More from this Member | Report Response

"The schools seems pretty nice. But it is definitely COLD in Boston. The whole day was pretty laid back." More from this Member | Report Response

"The student giving the tour was pretty shy and reserved, he seemed like he did not really know how to give a tour or was to insecure to do a good job of it. That or he just really didn't care, which I cannot blame him for. However we had another student a 4th year come in for Q&A and she was seemed really to have a good grip on things. She was much more candid about everything which was a relief. The actual interview was one on one and was mind blowingly laid back. I was not asked about anything science related." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall great interview. Interviewer read over my essay and I had used the phrase "dental tools". He asked me why I used the word "tools". He advised that I begin to refer to them as dental "instruments". We had a good laugh about it." More from this Member | Report Response

""i'm just trying to get a C in each class to pass so I can take over my dad's private practice"- tour guide... that was the sentiment running through everything that was presented to us. you pay loads of money to feel like you're on a dentistry conveyer belt, just try to pass and just get through school so you can go right into filling cavities non-stop for the rest of your life." More from this Member | Report Response

"the interview was at a regional location and not at the dental school so i missed out on a lot. if you can, go to the dental school for an interview! nevertheless, the interviewer was very friendly and genuine and just wanted to see if i would really go to boston for dental school. overall, a very pleasant experience." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall good experience. I would have to say that it's my top choice. yea.. it's expansive, but you're gonna be able to pay it all back once you start working. so no need to worry about that. I think the APEX and externship prgm that they have here impressed me.. as well as the nice faculty. " More from this Member | Report Response

"As an interviewer at Boston University School of Dental Medicine, I just wanted to clear up a few "facts" as presented by students in this forum: 1) No interviewer "accepts" a candidate-rather we make a recommendation to our Admissions Committee which makes decision--one student posted a response saying that s/he received a final decision within his interview--that does not happen. 2) The Dental School is, like any other large city school, subject to the environment around it. As with any city, we would recommend caution in moving about an urban campus at day or at night. But the School is not in a war zone or bad area. It is simply a very busy urban setting near a major interstate highway and consequently traffic and congestion can be difficult. 3) There is no issue with students being able to not graduate on time because of inadequate chair numbers. The School recently opened a new, state-of-the-art 22 chair clinic devoted entirely to the DMD program. 4) To the student who said we appear to be crammed into one building: that's an interesting observation since on your tour you were shown through at least 2 of the 9 buildings we occupy! 5) Our conversation during the interview phase is to assess an applicant's preparedness, both academically and otherwise, for the rigors of an intense, 4-year curriculum. It is not an interrogation and is meant to be as friendly and laid-back as possible. We certainly welcome feedback as to how to better this experience for applicants! You are also welcome and encouraged to ask us as many questions as you'd like! 6) Lunch--the eternal question--the student tour occurs in the morning and applicant interviews commence at 12 noon. Food generally arrives between 12-12:30 (depending on the caterer) and certainly everyone is invited to eat immediately though most prefer to wait until they've interviewed to present with nice shiny teeth! Great forum--wish this had been around when I applied to college! :-)" More from this Member | Report Response

"BU is definitely my highest choice with the exception of The University of Washington and that is only because I am a Washington State resident so the lower tuition really speaks my language. I'm sure anybody reading this, who has been on at least one interview so far, knows the difference between feeling welcome and laid back throughout a given interview and feeling semi-nauseous and ill-at-ease. I can guarantee your BU interview will, at very least, keep you much more in the former category. " More from this Member | Report Response

"it was a laidback day. the faculty/students were very friendly and continuously wanted to be asked questions. the facilities were great too, until you realize that it's so tough to get a chance to use them when you're competing for chairtime!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I love Boston, and I feel I will get an impeccable clinical education here. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview day consisted of a tour, a question and answer session, and the interview. The interview was very pleasant, and was more of a get to know you session. I would suggest asking questions. Not only Q's related to dental school, but ask the interviewer how long they've been in Boston, What made them consider dental academics, and where they attended dental school. I asked such questions which led to a very long and heartfelt conversation. I think more than anything, the schools are looking to see how your interpersonal skills are."

"it was ok, other than the expenses of the city and school (which are HIGH!!) the school itself was ok, the new simulation clinic was really nice but felt like an assembly line rather than a class,, also i would recommend getting a hotel near the school and dont drive, cab fares are a rip off there" More from this Member | Report Response

"awesome. i like the school. hoping they like me too. cost is a little much, but youll make it back after a few years in the workforce. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall a good but very expensive school. A few students stressed how difficult the first year was. But I guess thats how all schools are. The facilities besides the simlab were just o.k. and nothing imparticular stood out about the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I don't like Boston. The town was cold, boring and the school is very hard to find. plus the interview was very stressful.

Overall it was nice" More from this Member | Report Response

"He really different ask me a lot of questions. The main thing he asked me was if I had any questions, concerns, comments on what I learned from the website. At the end of the interview he asked a few questions about some of my life experiences, grades, DAT scores; all pretty general though. More of a recruiting effort."
