합격자 인사이더 팁
💡Great program, they really care about wanting you to succeed. Nobody is trying to "get you", just be yourself and have a few anecdotes or situations to draw off of
💡Everyone is very nice and they emphasize over and over the importance of relaxing and being yourself. My interview felt more like a conversation than anything, so much to the point that the 30 minutes felt like 5 minutes by the time the interview was over.
💡Western U has a very friendly and down-to-earth vibe. Just relax on the interview and let your natural self shine through.
💡Show them your strength and passion. Make sure they know that you really want to come to this school.
💡Focus on community work during dental school.
💡The surrounding area is a little ghetto, but there are many areas only 30 40 minutes away that give you plenty of things to do. It's a young school, but has a LOT to offer its students in clinical experience, lab time, and learning side by side with their faculty. I'd be honored to be given an invitation to join Western U.
💡Good, relatively low stress interview. The interviewees and staff give the impression that they are really interested in you and committed to student-focused education.
💡Cool school, really nice staff and current dental students, willing to work with students if they have suggestions for the improvement of the school
💡The facilities are amazing. The students seem confident in their educational quality. I like how their graduation expectations are based on quality not quantity.
💡The philosophy of the school is amazing and the humanistic approach/clinical experience is exceptional. It would be an honor to attend Western.
💡Dental faculty is great.....everyone is passionate about the school...fits my personality soooo well .....thanks and i hope i get an invite!!
💡Great staff. We had a provided Quiznos lunch with the D1s who spoke volumes about the school. They gave up their Saturday afternoon to be there and were genuinely interested in the applicants.
💡Keep an open mind about this school.
💡I was very nervous because it was my first interview. However, staffs were very friendly and made it more enjoyable and less stressful.
