What impressed you positively?

"The whole interview process was incredible. Dr. Coleman was the nicest man and really made you feel comfortable. All the staff and students there were so nice and were real with you. The labs are absolutely incredible (both first year lab and new virtual sim-lab). The clinical floor was packed with patients and students; it just made me real excited to go there and be a dentist. The also have an awesome pediatric lab. The school is also located in a medical community (the med, optometry, pharmacy, and nursing schools are there too), so you are not just around dental students all four years. Oh, and the rec. center was awesome too (including climbing wall), and free for students. I have been to several other schools for interviews, and this one (hands down) impressed me overall the most. They portray a real desire to have you at their school and to graduate you the best dental professional possible!" Report Response
