What impressed you negatively?

"Not really that negative, but I got the vibe he didn't really like one of my answers to "Why BU" because he said well thats the point when I talked about how integrative the curriculum was. Also, the conversation flowed somewhat well, but he would just throw questions at me normal interview style." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"just know why dentistry, why BU, and if you don't know a question, take a second and then just answer it to the best of your ability.
