"Talk to myself like crazy haha."
"faculty seemed to genuinely want to aid in student's success"
"Amazing faculty all with diverse experiences. There was an in-depth presentation at the beginning, which I greatly appreciated. This new program was put together with care and detail. They care about feedback from their students. The dean is amazing and talked to each of the students, remembering little details from their applications. The location of El Paso means there will be no shortage of patients to work on. The lack of specialty programs means you will get any and every case. Honestly the dentists that graduate from here will be amazing."

"Interviewers are very friendly."
"You get time before each interview to calm your nerves so don't worry."
"Overall this schools is amazing. It places a lot of emphasis on public health and, best case scenario, really looks for students interested in staying in El Paso after graduation. There is a shortage of dentists and dental care here."
"Overall I loved this experience. The day seems long but it really does fly by bc you have so many activities lined up"
"It would have been good to make the directions to the interview building a bit more clear."
"Great school, great community."
