What are your general comments?

"We began with an intro to the school given by the Dean of Admissions, Mark Mitchell. Our two individual interviews follwed; two consecutive 30 minute sessions. Next it was off to the patient clinic (I watched a crown prep). Then lunch, and finally an optional lecture. My interviewers were well prepared and knew specifics about me that they used during our conversations. Overall, the whole day was very relaxed. It was well put together and I'm happy to say that I was offered a spot in the fall class the following day. Yes, OHSU has lost much of its state funding. More dollars will be expected from tuition, but dentists do not usually complain about student loan repayment. I agree with most others' opinion that the building is dated, but I want to be a dentist, the trim around the doors doesn't concern me. The simulation lab is top notch, and the pediatric clinic is brand new. With a new building in the school's future, it's unlikely that any more remodeling will be done and that's fine with me."
