I took the super shuttle from my hotel to the airport after. I think the interview probably ended around 2:40-45 ish? If you're thinking to book your flight around 3:30, I wouldn't recommend it. 4 may be a bit tight as well.
 
Renting a car for Wednesday-Thursday. Any takers on split cost?
 
Could anyone suggest what is the best (cheapest) way to/from reach airport from/to university

midwestern has a nice SIM lab and they love people who can work in groups ! they are very involved in the community. at least every other month , they host some community event. they also have open door policy and you should mention that you value the support system schools offer! they even have a therapy dog , named gracie!!
 
For my interview, 2 years ago, super shuttle was the cheapest option for me from the airport to Drury Inn. Keep in mind though, the Shuttle transports other people who also have similar destinations to you; therefore, you may not be the first one dropped off. You could be in the shuttle for a good hour plus if you happen to be the last one dropped off (happened to me both times I've taken the shuttle and I believe it's because the location around MWU is the most North the shuttle goes). Also, if you plan to take the shuttle after the interview give yourself enough time, because again, the shuttle may be picking up other people on the way to the airport. Super shuttle usually has coupons or an online booking discount...just google "super shuttle discounts/coupons"

Yeah I have to agree, my interview wasn't the day of so it didn't matter, but super shuttle does take a very long time!

Hello! Does anyone know if it is two faculty members and a d2 student interviewing you all at once? Or are they all separate? Such as three small interviews with each of them.

Anyone want to share cab after interview on Oct-26?

Thanks in advance

You'll be out at 2:30-3pm
 
Just got my interview scheduled November 3rd.
Anyone is scheduled on the same date?
 
For people who have interviewed here already, how did you find the school, faculty, and facilities?

- Also how did you get from the airport to hotel, and hotel to the school?

- It's pretty easy to find the school. They have a gate to check you in and they will show you where to go. It's obvious.
- I rent a car bc the school offers the no charge if under 25. But there's shuttle service that you can book, or cab...
- Depend on the hotel you stay, they have shuttle from the hotel to the school too.

For now. Guarantee they don't leave those spots vacant forever, and I'm pretty sure two of those are already in the contract stage of hiring. Can you tell me those doctors who have held those spots most recently were really that amazing? Hardly. I consider this cleaning house and for the improvement of the program. I imagine your timing of this post stems from the fresh ortho change. My take, is that the ortho experience is about to get a whole lot better for students.

* edit - None of my comments are regarding the public health speciality. No idea if we had/have/will have that around...and I doubt many students care.

It's a mistake to fire a specialist without another one ready to take his/her place, especially when there was only 1 Pediatric Dentist/Orthodontist/Prosthodontist to begin with. Some of those spots have been vacant for more than a year. Although MWU works on a private practice model, it is dangerous to not teach new grads when to refer and when a case is over his/her head. You can only learn so much from weekend CEs, and it takes years to be competent. It is disadvantageous to not have specialists for the students (not to mention if you actually want to specialize in those areas). They do not need to be amazing for you to learn from them, and I can think of several GPs who are worse.

I care about Public Health :mad:

I'm not talking about not caring about public health dentistry. I'm suggesting that there's hardly a concern among the greater student body if there's an actual public health specialist on staff.

Does anyone know if the interview is open or closed file?

They pretend that they don't have it.

Are you a student there or did you interview there this cycle?
How did you find out about the staffing and that it was vacant for 1+ year?
How happy do the students there seem?
Are there any more negatives to this school you'd like to share?

Don't get me wrong...MWU is still a far better school in both experience and philosophy compared to other more traditional schools. Students are mostly happy. Staffing (esp with specialists) would only make it better and provide more educational opportunities/tips for the students (esp in ortho, pediatric, pros).

This is not an accurate statement. There is a Prosthodontist, Peds Dentist, and the Ortho just left and they are in the process of hiring a new one...

My info is from students in the clinic. My understanding is MWU have experienced GPs working in those specialty areas, but they are not actual specialists. Correct me if I am wrong.

For some specialties in the clinic that is true. But it doesn't hinder the students in clinic what so ever. If the GP has plenty of experience in that area they can practice and teach it as long as they can do it to the standard of a specialist. We do have all of the specialties at our clinic so it does not pose a problem.

I didn't want it to be perceived that the clinic doesn't have those specialties because we do.

Sorry for the confusion.

(For ortho though they are in the process of hiring an Orthodontist)
