The interview is not bad and the facilities are simply amazing! Seriously, don't stress and just enjoy the day.. remember you are ONLY there because they want you there and want to get to know you! 🙂 So just smile and soak in all they have to offer!

Hmm, we had a fire drill 45 min. into the introduction and had to trek down 9 stories worth of stairwell. Keep that in mind when debating whether to go to a tall school or a short one!
The building was beautiful and all of the equipment very cool. It seemed like most of the students and faculty were on vacation or something, though, as most of the building was empty. This building seems to need people in it, too: the lack of life made it feel too open and cold. I wish I could say more positive stuff, as I know it's a really great school, but it's so important to see how things look and feel on a normal day in order to make a decision. I just wasn't able to get a good (accurate) feel for Maryland. Baltimore was nothing special really, either. Big city problems with a small town feel.
Interview was very low stress. Both the faculty and student interviewing me were really cool, I wish I could have had more time to talk with them. It was a mixture of just talking and then answering some of the normal questions (why dentistry, how did you prepare for the DAT, etc.) whenever the student interviewer felt we were getting off task. They asked about which schools I applied to and even how Maryland ranked on that list. I was honest with them, though I was still being optimistic about Maryland and saving judgement until I had completed the tour.
Now, I was thinking it would be exciting to live outside of my home state, but I don't know if I could justify paying the out-of-state tuition to attend Maryland rather than my home-state school (Indiana).
