Does anyone know if Colorado is very picky with their letters of rec? I just got an email saying my application is incomplete and this is one of only two schools that have sent me such an email. The other is UNLV who put my application on hold because they said my letter of rec from dentist did not specifically say I shadowed.

Just trying to figure out why Colorado put my app on hold and didn't specify why because I can't get a hold of their admissions office either.

Alright reporting back with what you can expect as far as the schedule goes!

10-10:30am presentation
10:30-11:15am tour
11:15-12pm lunch
12-1pm Two one on one interviews
1-2:30 more presentations/financial aid

Everyone there was super awesome. The faculty are definitely a strong point of the school. Interviews are low stress and conversational. The only downside to the school is the traffic in the surrounding area during rush hour, it's crazy busy lol

Did you get any difficult questions during the interview?

Nope, they are all basic questions. The other 9 applicants who were there all said their interviewers were super nice. I thought I lucked out and got really laid back interviewers, but it turned out everybody is laid back lol

Edit: it's a closed file interview with the exception that they have access to your personal statement

Not everybody is laid back. They are for the most part, but there are a few professors that interview there who are sticklers. Glad everyone got nice ones.
 
Just completed my interview at CU! I interviewed with the first batch of interviewees on August 13th, along with @BasicG!

For the schedule, refer back to @BasicG's post.

I agree with BasicG in that the faculty was a strong point of the school! They were friendly, welcoming, and laid-back. I loved the positive atmosphere of the school!

Interview Type: Two 20 minute interviews. Closed file with the exception of your personal statement.

Questions: They were the basic interview questions.

If you interview on a weekday, there will be a total of 10 interviewees.
If you interview on a Saturday, there will be around 30-40 interviewees.
Just a heads up!

Try to do a weekday if you can!

Yes, its amazing! The machine to practice your hand skills was so cool to see! I'm surprised more schools don't have that. Seems to be pretty useful.

That machine looked awesome! Looked super useful for people who want to practice their drilling skills without going through tons of material in the sim lab

What did they ask you to complete last year?

I only had the prerequisites completed, not a full bachelors degree. They asked that I show I can take a full class load and finish a bachelors degree. I am active duty military so I have never been in school full time until after that interview.

Technology can be cool, but that machine is probably one of the more useless ones. It doesn’t feel anything like real teeth (although neither does plastic) and is hard to even connect your motions to real life. I would have rather that the school purchase some more milling machines, or perhaps just let the students use the ones that they already have. Not to be too negative, but I wouldn’t get too excited about that specifically.

I Interviewed with you today, just don’t know who you are by your username. It was very nice meeting everyone and the interviews were very conversational and was not stressful with overwhelming questions. Good luck to those that have future interviews.

Does the 2017-2018 edition show the amount of offers made for every school or just a few?
 
Anybody who has already interviewed, did you get a lot or any ethical scenario questions? Thanks!
 
Anyone else receive an email from CU about an online interview prep session, but haven't received an interview invite yet? :(

CU is one of ten schools that helps applicants get advice and some experience on how to interview. The virtual interview was sent to you because you applied to the school. Unfortunately, It is not an official interview. Good luck!

I tried to join the online meeting but the maximum number of applicants had been reached already. Does anybody know if the information will be available later?

Thanks! Another set of questions for you, if you're willing to answer.

How would you describe the culture at CU? Is it collaborative/helping each other type of environment or more competitive/fend for yourself? What are your favorite aspects of the school/faculty/program? What other schools are similar to CU?

I don’t mean to steal this question away, but the culture of the school is one of the things that sold me on CU. Super easy going. Super collaborative between students with everyone helping each other out, even across classes. Only a few gunners per class and even they aren’t the cut-throat/willing to sabotage type. They just don’t mess around when it comes to school or studying.
Best part of the program is for sure the ACTS rotations. It prepares you more for actual practice than anything else. Seriously. I wouldn’t have gone right into practicing if it wasnt for that.
I’ll leave the rest of the question for the person you asked it to.
