Hi all,
First time poster, long time reader. I just got back from an interview in which there was a dental student interviewer. After one of the applicants/interviewees in my interview group came back, he said he knew the interviewer and that they were good friends so he isn't worried about how the interview went. Then the interviewer came in and told his friend, the applicant, that he would see him later that night for dinner.
I can't help but feel like this is an unfair advantage. Obviously, if the person interviewing you is a friend, they are going to give you glowing remarks and highly recommend you for admissions.
Any thoughts?
