"Very friendly faculty/staff. Students seem happy. Seems like they try to make sure everyone fits and works together well." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"No formal tour. Morning introduction was a little informal (not bad but not as impressive as other schools). Schedule had time to sit in on a class but they had scheduled my interview for that time so I didn't get to see the class. Time observing in clinic seemed kind of a waste (isn't that why they required shadowing hours?)." Report Response

"There's a morning writing sample. Nothing stressful but writing samples are kind of annoying." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Good school, good people, good city. Interview day could've been scheduled better but not a major issue. Facilities are a little old but not too bad. Clinic seems a little cramped though. They are thinking about building a new dental school (and raising tuition to compensate) but it wouldn't be completed until ~2014 at the earliest." Report Response
