"Lunch food" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Interviewers. Here's the thing, even though people are given interviews I strongly believe the interviewers know who they want and who they do not want BEFORE the interview, period. I felt like they weren't interested in me and asked me a lot of dumb, non-dental related questions. What a waste." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"How unprepared and biased UWSOD is with the application process. How cocky they are." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Stop wasting applicant's time by ONLY giving out interviews that they are TRULY interested in having. If you look at the class population, majority of them are rich kids, their parents are doctors or some kind of professionals....Not much diversity really going on. I felt really out of place since I wasn't one of them." Report Response
