"The people are very laid back and personable. Perhaps the interview was too laid back. The 3rd year student who gave me the tour was SUPER friendly and out-going. The professor on my interview panel was really encouraging and easy to get along with." Report Response
"The 4th year students were expressing their utmost desire to "get the hell out!" including the student interviewing me. I found it odd that a dentist wasn't on my panel. The third lady on my panel seemed not at all interested. " Report Response
"What I did know ahead of time, which I recommend to EVERYONE, is to attend their Dental Day in October before you apply. They offer a lot of information that I would have expected them to offer on the day of the interview but did not. Luckily, I had attended Dental Day already and knew a lot of information about financial aid and had toured the building before. I wish I would have had a better opportunity to talk with the current students and/or other students interviewing that day." Report Response
"I did not have a good feeling coming out of my interview as if they really weren't interested in me. However, I did get my acceptance letter in December. I was shocked!" Report Response
