I liked all new dental technology they have and how they structure clinical learning: they provide early introduction to clinical settings.
NOVA also said they are constantly improving their program and investing in new technology as they want to be one of the best dental programs. NSU is not a big university but they focus on Health Professions (DMD, MD, OD, DO, Pharmacy, D of speech pathology etc.) and I liked that too.
Linda Niessen, who is the dean, took time to speak to us/applicants during the interview day as well. My interviewer (one of the professors) was extremely enthusiastic about the program. I was encouraged during my interview to be part of their dental program.
I liked NOVA's open file style interview because the questions were about my values, experience and my achievements.
I interviewed also at U Michigan (MMI) and that was somewhat stressful. At UDM interview (close file) one of the interviewing professors was falling asleep (she said that she was very tired), the other professor had simple questions that did not allow me to present full extend of who I am and what my values are or what I achieved.
Also NSU were 1st to call me with acceptance.
