To be honest...I'm not sure what's unique about our school because I don't know what other schools have/are doing, but if you have specific questions I can try to help there. You thinking about coming here??

Hi Scotty - Thanks for replying to my post, I didn't see your reply until now. I asked the question to prepare for my interview last Tuesday, but after going to the school, I can honestly say I fell in love with the program and really feel the camaraderie amongst students. I hope I'll be given the chance to attend VCU this fall!!

Very cool Tooth! A friend of mine interviewed with you I think. I walked her in to the conference room and said hi to Colin. Glad you liked the school...I love it here. Hope to see you in the halls next year!!

td4azklz - i actually interviewed on the 2/2 and i really loved vcu! I just hope I'll have the opportunity to study there. Dr. Healy said that our group would find out on 2/23 
i hope i get in!! and good luck to you as well!
Scotty - is your friend Kaine? Kane sp? I was speaking with her after the interview while waiting for my taxi. She's really awesome, and I'm so glad that she already has an acceptance this year. I hope to see you around the halls too!!

MasterPain - I totally agree that vcu is unique in that the staff and faculty are very dedicated to bringing students to clinic asap! and that's really awesome because clinical experience is so important in becoming a skilled dentist
haha, what a small world! and I think overall my interview went pretty well, but I felt that some of my answers could have been stronger/more elaborate. I interviewed with Dr. Healy and Dr. Archer, who were both very nice and easy to talk to, but I just couldn't completely shake off my nervousness =T

I was the one from NY. Have you heard back anything yet? I still haven't, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to you too, if you are still waiting.

It's funny, I had Dr. Archer as well. Did he seem sort of quiet to you? Although he asked me a few questions, I got the impression that he has a very quiet personality.

Thanks Scotty!
Hm, to be honest in answering your question, Dr. Archer was actually quite talkative with me. I'm from CA and he has some family in CA, so we talked about where he's visited. I had some endo work done and he's an endodontist, so we both agreed that if a root canal is needed, always go to a specialist. 🙂 As for actual interview questions, he just asked me how I got to this point in my life, and if I'm not admitted this year, what would I do to improve my application.
I think my interview with him ended about 5 minutes earlier than the 30 minutes, and yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about him being on the quieter side during your interview, as long as he got a good sense of who you are 🙂

Scotty, I'm doing great! The new addition, Liam, is healthy and getting quite porky if I may. He is 3 months starting to smile and trying to communicate. Yeah, I am in this cycle. VCU interviewed me in the middle of January and I haven't heard anthing back yet. The interviews went well (Svirsky and Tufekci) and I really got a good vibe. Both were very professional and friendly. A fella named Oscar was my student interviewer and was really informative and cool. How bout you and your family...any new ones on the way for you? You still making time to play?

Yeah, my interview with him was about that long too. He also asked me the same question, what would I do if I am not admitted. We'll see, hopefully it wont come to that. I believe they are supposed to make more offers on the 23rd, so all we can do right now is keep our fingers crossed. 🙂

All is well on my end...things are heating up a bit at school this semester so I'm staying quite busy but still loving being here. No new ones on the horizon for me...both of us are way to busy right now, but who knows about the future. You were here in Jan and didn't let me know?? Shame on you! Haha! Anyways...back to the books. Let me know what you find out!!
