💬 Interview Questions ▼
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The most commonly asked interview questions at medical schools include scenarios about handling difficult situations with colleagues, ethical dilemmas in the field, personal strengths and weaknesses, experiences in volunteer work, motivations for pursuing dentistry, and future career goals. Additionally, respondents mentioned questions about their extracurricular activities, family background, and reasons for choosing a specific school, with some interviews possibly being part of an MMI format and subject to a nondisclosure agreement.
Tell me about a time a co-worker/team member was not completing their part/job correctly and it went poorly when you approached them
Students said most interesting question asked at University of Louisville School of Dentistry discussed a wide range of topics including time management, ethics, alternative professions, dealing with adversity, favorite dental procedures, underprivileged dental care, superheroes, family background, and personal interests. The interviews appeared to be a mix of standard questions and some unique ones, with no specific trend towards a particular type of inquiry.
Dental school requires time to complete projects timely, how are your time management skills?
If you could be any superhero, which would it be?
The interviewer who asked me this was applying for residencies and this was a question they were asked- I don't believe it was taken seriously though.
Students said most difficult question asked at University of Louisville School of Dentistry discussed various topics such as ethical dilemmas in dentistry, handling criticism, personal failures, accomplishments, and motivations for pursuing dentistry. Additionally, the interview format may have been an MMI (Multiple Mini Interview) with possible non-disclosure agreements, as some responses alluded to nondisclosure of specific questions or scenarios.
Tell me about a mistake you've made- not difficult, just broad
One of your recommenders wrote that you were not satisfied with your grade on an assignment and you talked to him about it, and he ended up raising your grade -- what did you learn from that experience? (difficult bc I didn't even remember this happening)
none were really very difficult. The interview was super conversational, and I really felt like there wasn't a single question that they had prepared for. All the questions were in line with the conversation and I felt like they wanted me to ask as many questions to them as they asked to me.
What makes you unique. I already answered what I do for fun and during my free time. What my hobbies were. What my strengths and weaknesses were. So I had to think a little harder to say something new and meaningful
A lot of applicants have written about auto tuning. Any comments? Yeah~I just installed wings on my car! (Lambo doors!) Anyway, I mentioned a couple of things I did with DIY kits. (Ex) After-market intake kit installation)
What other dental schools I had applied to...I was asked to list them all which was the one thing that made me feel sort of uncomfortable. Another question was why was I applying to Louisville and what makes Louisville different from other schools in my mind, considering that I had travelled a long distance for the interview. My interviewer did lighten up a lot and seemed pleased with my answers, which broke the ice and got me excited about the school.
Why is economics your major? It has nothing to do with dentistry (personally I think that economics was a very smart choice since you have to run your own practice.)
I see you got an 18 in Bio on the DAT. (It was my lowest score the rest were in the 20's) Are you incompetent, or did your undergrad education fail to adequately prepare you?

Reviewed this website, school website, and answered common interview questions
Read SDN, talked to a student that goes there, read my personal statement. I had an interview an another school a few days earlier so I really didn't practice much.
I just checked out SDN and got a feel for what the expriences would be like. I also thought about some of the most probable questions that I would get, and mentally constructed a framework for some of the main points that I would want to talk about. This just helped lessen my anxiety level b/c I felt like I wasn't just depending on my sponaneity.
Applicants were overwhelmingly impressed by the friendliness and welcoming atmosphere of the faculty, staff, and students, as well as the focus on creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment. They also appreciated the state-of-the-art facilities, the emphasis on clinical experience, and the transparency in providing thorough information about the school and its programs.
Transparency about the school and how it runs, thorough presentation
Everyone was so nice so it wasn't stressful at all - they made sure you got to know the school thoroughly before you left without making it seem boring
It was obvious that the students genuinely have had a great experience at the school, and they were friendly and welcoming to us as we toured the school. The faculty was also enthusiastic and seemed to care a lot about the students.
The facilities are incredible and the best I have seen at any dental school. Plus, the students, faculty, and admissions staff are so warm and friendly.
The people were very nice and friendly!
The facilities are outstanding! They just finished the renovation of the dental school, and WOW was it impressive. All state of the art technology! The lunch they provided was actually really delicious. The financial aid overview was actually very helpful.
The students there seem to be genuinely happy there, they were very friendly as we took the tour. I also talked in depth after the interviews were over with one of the students and even though it's rigorous, it's a great place to be. Also, the new facilities are incredible, and while there is some finishing up to do, by the time i would be getting in there everything would be up and running.
People were SO friendly! The student I stayed with said she loves all the group activities they do in their spare time- baseball games, intramurals, bar/restaurant specials.
The school is situated in the middle of 4 major hospitals.
Staff was outstanding and Dr. Babbage was great and straightforward with all questions and concerns. Students seemed genuinally happy. Clinics were really great and you could tell you get a great clinical experience there. Cost of living is really cheap. They also offer a fantastic MS/DDS degree that allows you to finish at the same time.
Clinical experience is very good, they are very friendly over there and it seems as though they have a lot of fun as a class. I really liked that they have a flag football team.
The students seemed extremely happy to be there. The lunch was closed to all faculty and staff we were told to ask any questions we had to the students. Their answers seemed genuine and not prompted.
The presentation given before interviews was VERY informative. I came there with a list of 10-12 questions and by the time interviews came around I had none. The faculty and students are very friendly and comforting.
U of L is located in the heart of the city's medical center. Unlike some other schools, U of L does not make you schedule your own patients or do your own collections. Everyone is very friendly (very genuine) and takes the quality of the education very seriously. The cost of living is really nice to.
How nice every one is. they make it worth your while, they almost had me proud of their school by the end of the day. the cost can be reduced by 1/2 if your spouse works there. only 1 semester of physics. the school seems alittle easier. students can ride the public bus for free.
This school is awesome! The faculty and students were laid back, relaxed and extremely friendly. At lunch, I spoke with a couple of students that were passing by in the halls and asked them how they liked U of L and none of them seemed stressed and they all said they wouldn’t go any where else. The school has a fairly new Sim Lab (which rocks), high pass rates on both boards, and Louisville is a great city to live in. Overall, I’d give this school an A+
Everyone I met, including the students and faculty, seemed like they really enjoyed being at UofL. Also, while we were waiting to be interviewed, different faculty and admissions people came in the room just to talk with the applicants. We even got to talk with the current dean, who was extremely nice. Finally, I think the city would be really fun to live in.
i felt very much at home here. it wasn't by any means unprofessional, but i felt like everyone was out to make everyone else have a good day. the program seemed very strong in all areas too. i can't say that there is too much i didn't like about the place
The faculty, fellow students, in fact the whole school is behind you if you go there. Very family-like atmosphere. Sim-lab rocks. The hotel room that the school suggested was awesome. Great patient pool (it's in downtown Louisville). Cost of living is pretty cheap for a big city. The students said that the administration really listens to their concerns.
All the students seemed very happy with the school. Each class seemed to be a very tight knit and supportive group. The professors, administrators and staffers seemed extremely supportive and helpful. Overall, it just seemed like a really great atmosphere to go to school in.
Everyone was so happy! All of the students really loved it there. You could tell it was a competitive atmosphere, yet they all worked hard together. I really liked this school.
The location; it was in clean part of downtown. The admissions staff, faculty and students very nice. The midnight notification of admission/denial on Dec 1; very helpful. That applicants from Wisconnsin are very pretty.
The Louisville community seemed like one big family. The students had few complaints other than some old equipment and lack of parking. Many schools admit classes that have stronger numbers than UofL's, but they always seem to finish in the top ten of board exam scores. That shows that they really do a good job of teaching. They also offer Zoo Dentistry and Forensic Dentistry courses.
the students/faculty. Everyone is so friendly. The interview day was well planned and worked to perfection. The students stressed how every class is so team oriented and non-gunnerish. The faculty really want you to suceed and will even spend one-on-one time with you to help you out. There are new pedo/ortho labs that are really nice. They also have a great sim lab/program. They use a the sim lab in a clinical setting instead of just problem based. The school was nice and the students have scored in the top 10 for five years in a row on the national board part II. They focus greatly on the clinical aspect of dentistry and produce great general practitioners. Good lunch.
The faculty and students were all very warm and friendly. They made everyone feel completely at home and comfortable. The students discussed how most of their classmates are not "cut-throat" at all, and the students all serve as a support system/family for one another.
organization. we were finished ahead of time. students as well as the dean were very friendly and honest. it is a clean school. it is cheap to live in Louiville. opportunity for research is not as competitive.
Applicants commonly expressed concerns about the older facilities, lack of modern equipment, high out-of-state tuition, lengthy presentations, location, and unfavorable weather conditions. Suggestions included addressing the facility renovations promptly, providing clearer information on tuition costs, streamlining the interview process, and improving the overall organization and presentation flow on interview days.
For one of the questions, the interviewer moved on after I asked to take 2 seconds to answer
The school has almost no windows, low ceilings and is all grey and brown. It is dark and depressing. I expected it to be a bit nicer after renovation. Clinics looked nice but still had no windows.
For lunch, interviewees were paired and then put with a current D3 student. At other interview days, there was lunch provided with current students, but it was less formally arranged. I liked the opportunity to interact with multiple current students that the format of interview day lunches at other schools allowed.
The tour guide was a bit too much. She made us walk through 3 different lecture halls filled with current dental students. We walked in and just stood there, I felt like we were on display. Also, lunch came a bit late. I was starving during the presentations.
I do not like Louisville as a city. There is no metro or good public transportation. I will say they have good restaurants, but nothing else really impressed me about the city. Perhaps I am biased because the weather was terrible while I was there.
Tuition, tuition, tuition. They pulled no punches and made no apologies about how expensive their school was. They recommended selling cars, never going out to lunch, and basically anything to cut costs. Basically they stressed that you will be dirt poor the whole time you're there. They are more expensive than most private schools in the long run with no chance to change residency status.
not being able to see the campus before my acceptance (I interviewed in Salt Lake City, Utah), but it was convenient not to have to pay for airfare, etc to interview... sort of a catch 22!
Parts of the school are definitely out-dated and its hard to compare facilities when you interview at schools with brand new equipment. They will be remodeling though and it will directly help our class. The neighborhood directly surrounding the campus is pretty hairy! As I walked back to my hotel, I witnessed a man urinating on the sidewalk a block from the school as passerbys stood in amazement! Also, if you are from the north, you might start to think everyone there is southern. Although many people you interview with are from the north, get used to every enrolled student being a southerner, for me, that can become sort of annoying. I can only listen to so many hun's and ya'lls in a day!
The whole process seemed a little bit longer than other interviews. The interviewers did not ask many questions, but I guess it is more negative for them if they don't find out everything they want about prospective students.
The area is a little ghetto for me.
Starting JULY 2!!!!!!!
Clinics are old, and I couldn't get a straight answer on whether or not you get your own (so I'm guessing not).
The faculty are all old people, who are rumored to be there because for some reason they can't practice dentistry anymore (a 4th year told me that) They need new equipment, they need a Dean! (they have had the same dean for 35 years and pretty much nothing has changed in 35 years)
that you take your boards the end of your second year right after your clinical test and the students seemed to think it was a bit ridiculous and they didn't have enough time for everything (crazy course schedule, boards and clinical test)
lab system and all the instruments were very old. they were still using 80's technology. there's no library only for dental student, so you have to share with medical students and it was very small.
my interviewer would pause during the interview to read my entire personal statement and to read my letters of recommendations. She didn't prepare beforehand to get to know me as a person, and she seemed really irritable when she was interviewing me. I just sat in silence as she read my file-it was awkward.
This 4th year student who gave me an interview. He was very cold and snobby. (One of the gunners) His mom is a dentist and he didn't like it when I said no dentists in my family.
The price for out of state residents is too high for the facilities being offered, but I have heard that the clinical training is excellent, which they probably are since the part 2 board scores are in the top 10.
Start school earlier than most, but it's just to ease you into the workload. The terms' length are flexible from year to year, so it makes it hard to plan anything outside of school (vacations, etc.). It's in downtown Louisville.
The facilities are a little old, but are soon to be remodeled. We saw some of the areas that have already been re-done and they were quite nice. The simulation clinic is fabulous.
Very high out-of-state tuition. And the only way to become a Kentucky resident is to marry one. So unless that is in your future, be prepared to pay a lot for your education.
The weather is drab. Some old clinical settings and the interview was long-(9:30-4:00)(16 students). But, new stuff is on the way and the interview went by fast. (So, not really negative).
I expected a fiarly laid back interview like I had heard most students talking about, and instead got drilled by this old fossil, who knows where they dug him up from. Lots of hard demoralizing questions then when I would try to give an answer/explination he would just cut me off with the some rude remark or another question. I got probably three words in the whole time. Also there were like fifteen people being interviewed that day and only two students so it was hard to ask them questions, instead we just got the fly-by tour.
They never asked me why I wanted to go there which I thought was weird. Some of the facilities are old but they are doable. The school is great but I was told there isn't much to do besides attend school, drink, and play golf.
Some of the equipment was old. There really isn't much parking and there aren't a lot of places to eat in the vicinity of the school. Louisville traffic can also get pretty hectic.
The day was very unorganized. During the tour, the admissions counselor was recruiting interviewers. She was asking students and volunteer professors to interview, bribing them with cookies, etc. The students sat together waiting for interviews, and some students were forgotten, so they had to rush in order for them to have their 2nd and 3rd interviews.
Applicants commonly wished they had known ahead of time about the varying interview styles, the number of interviewees present, the conversational nature of the interviews, the need for questions unrelated to financial aid or general information, the long duration of the interview day, and the laid-back atmosphere of the process. They also highlighted the importance of relaxation, preparation of fun facts, and being patient with the school's communication timeline.
Your interview style will depend on the faculty- some are conversational, but some are more formal
How amazing this school was. They receive a LOT of applications, so it does take them a long time to contact students for an interview, just be patient.
THere are more then one interview, at first it was nerve-wrecking but it ended up being super relaxed. The student and faculty who interviewed me were super relaxed and you could tell they really wanted to get to know me instead of just going through the motions.
That all acceptances for out of state applicants have already been given out and that now, one's chances of getting in is a number game. If I had known that, I would have saved the hotel money and traveling costs.
The day goes pretty much as follows: introduction, overview presentation of the school, financial aide presentation, tour of the school by a student, lunch with the students, and then 3 interviews with different members of the admissions committee (one on one.) runs from about 9am-3pm.
Have questions ready to ask them that has nothing to do with financial aid or the school in general because most of those questions are answered during the presentation.
Even though it I the nation's 16th largest city, everything closes Sunday, including downtown. The city has a small town feel with a ton of museums. Very eclectic.
that the school, takes 50% male and 50% female, this doesnt represent the application pool at all. way more males apply. i know of alot of guys who interviewed here from my university, 6 of us and only 1 got in. compared to the 5 of us who got into case in decmber.
Not to be stressed out by the interview process because it was laid back and relatively non-stresfull. They just wanted to get to know you. It was like conversing with one of my undergraduate professors, laid back and nonthreatening.
that i would hate it so much. unhonestly, they act like they are better than other schools, but in reality they are awful and their students are not that smart.
It took a LONG time. Not the interview itself, but the process. There were about 11 other interviewees and they all had to change in rotation from student, faculty member, to a person on the admissions committe.
That Colonel Sanders is everywhere! There is a huge picture of him on the side of a building, it's quite funny really. Also I wish I knew about the 'exit interview.' They give you a final interview at the end to let you know what you can expect on Dec. 1 which was scary.
Applicants generally found the University of Louisville School of Dentistry to be a welcoming and diverse program with a relaxed and friendly interview process. Most appreciated the emphasis on getting to know applicants personally, but some expressed concerns about facilities and the length of the interview day.
UofL is a great program. Emphasis on diversity within students and admin which I think is imperative.
Very relaxed and the interviewers want to get to know you as a person outside of your application. Very personable faculty and students who are willing to share their likes and thoughts for improvement about the program.
Very laid back interview. Don't stress about it. Some people were in/out of their interviews within 10 minutes. I took about 35-40 because we got onto different topics and had a conversation.
Relaxed interviews, but sitting and listening to presentations for 4 hours beforehand just heightened my anxiety. I like getting the interviews over with early on.
It's a long day but almost everyone is awesome and relaxed. Some interviewees had tough faculty interviews but those were rare it seemed like. Students seemed great too. Btw stay in the bed and breakfast that is mentioned on the school's website...it's awesome.
**WARNING OUT OF STATE APPLICANTS*** my interviewer told me that acceptances have been given out to all out of state applicants. If you have an interview in Feb, the only chance you have of getting in is if people who have been given acceptances decide not to come.
Great school! Great school for Research + Clinical training. Early exposure to clinical training and a lot of community outreach programs. Large size of patient pool, computer assisted education! The interview took 4hours, and I had two interviews and one exit interview. Faculty members and staffs are really nice. In a conference room, all interviewees who were waiting for their turns had time to talk with several ADCOM members & each other.
Overall I was very impressed. The staff and doctors all seemed genuinely concerned with the student's education. The clinics are supposed to be renovated within the next few years, but the facility is pretty up-to-date.
Louisville seemed like a great school which I could enjoy attending for 4 years. Compared to others, the students were very happy and not beaten down by the school.
My experience was positive. It's an all-day affair and you'll learn a lot about the school. The interviews were all about getting to know the person. My first interview with the admissions director started off, "You look good on paper. I just wanna know if you can communicate? You know what I'm sayin'?" 2nd interview was with a dentist. 3rd was an exit interview that sort of wraps up everything that happened from your interviews. Lunch and tour was informal and pleasant.
We were given a lot of good info in the morning, then a tour, then lunch (pre-packed bags- they were good), then interviewed. In addition we watched some presentation about student life, hilarious but weird.
I had fun. No one was there to cause you any more stress that you had already brought with you. The degree of genuinely nice folks was amazing. I would love to go to U of L!
One of my interviewers was so layed back. he didn't even ask me any questions. He just talked. The other guy was much more professional, but he was a microbiologist, not a dentist. Neither of them really bragged about the school, just the area.
one interviewer was a student, and all she wanted to do is give me advice, not interview me. the doctor that interviewed me was nice but it felt like it went over rather well. they also do an exit interview, mine was doen by this nice really old guy. i dont think he understood what i was saying.
Overall the day went by well. Everything was the same as the others, financial aid, overview of curriuclum, etc....
Interviews went well, the faculty was great. Very relaxed atmosphere, I loved that.
terrific!!! i loved it. #1 on my list. everyone is so incredibly helpful and nice. i couldn't get over how invested the school seemed to be in their students.
there are three interviews and last one is called 'exit' interview which you will have a chance to talk to dean of admission office. He will tell you if you get in or not even though it's not 100%, he will tell you the chances. that means your interview doesn't really affect on your admission. especially if you get an interview later than December, they usually looked at all the applications and picked the winners even before you get there. unless you win the nobel prize or something like that big right before the interview. Very conservative school..
Louisville was a decent school, but I didn't leave there feeling enamored. There was nothing special about it. All the other schools I went to had some special feature that stood out. The people there were generally nice, and they arranged for discounted accomodations at some nice hotels. I just couldn't see myself going there.
I did not like the way the day was set up: about an hour of introduction/lecture by one person (who told too much extraneous information about back in the day, etc.) The financial aid session was informative, but then we had a tour, then lunch, and then we are supposed to have 3 interviews (I only had 2 -- my professor did the 2nd and 3rd). I also noticed that all the waiting rooms were virtually completely empty (on a Monday morning!) and all the facutly members were very old, which can be problematic if you are a female or a minority and they still hold very outdated beliefs (as was the case with my interviewer). My interview was pretty ridiculous.
I had a great time at the interview and really liked what I saw. I think the program is strong and that I would enjoy going to school in Louisville. As for their facilities, they have a nice sim lab, but part of their clinics are older. They are in the process of updating their clinics and said they would be finished by the time I needed them.
It was a long day but we learn a lot about the school. There is 3 interviews in between the interviews you sit in a room with other people getting interviewed. There's a lot of waiting.
it was really good. it took a long time, so eat a good breakfast, but they feed you a good lunch too. everyone was very helpful and accomidating. ask any questions you can think of. also, the financial aid program here seems the most generous of all i've seen anywhere.
I arrived about 15 minutes before the interview and signed in. We had to wear nametags that said our home state. We were given a presentation by one of the faculty, a financial aid presentation, a tour, lunch, and then our interviews (one with a student, one with a faculty member, and then an exit interview).
I got to hear a lot from current students and faculty alike. The actual interviews were relatively short and laid-back. The atmosphere was very conducive to being relaxed.
The best presentation that I got anywhere. I learned a lot about a dental career and financial aid. Not just a dentist factory. Great learning atmosphere. Students are very happy to be there. One interview with a student, whic was closed file and very relaxed. One interview with faculty, who just is trying to get a sense of your personality. A final exit interview where they kind of give you an idea where you stand. They might ask you if you have been accepted anywhere else. I got the impression that unless you really put forth that it is your first choice, you will get wait listed or put on the next-to-be-called list (which is better to be on, and your chances are very high to be accepted).
My interview experience was much less stressful than I had anticipated. We had presentations in the morning by the dean and financial aid lady, followed by a tour of the school. After lunch were the interviews. Each person had 2 interviews one-on-one with an adcom member and then a short exit interview. In my interviews, basically all we did was chat and get to know one another. They just asked the standard questions- why to you want to be a dentist, ect. One of my interviewers told me that they look at the interview as just a chance to get to know the personality of the applicants. Everyone who got an interview is already qualified on paper, so they use the interview to see if you have the personality to make a good dentist
U of L really impressed me. The student body is so diverse- from a father of four, to a former frat boy, to everything in between. Everyone was so nice and helpful, and most importantly, enthusiastic about their school. For the interview, all you need is confidence and a great personality, that's really what they're looking for. Also, if this is your first choice, make sure you let them know.
It was awful! I'm a Kentucky resident and I was treated like some criminal. My DAT and gpa are much higher then their averages and they acted like they were doing a favor to me by interviewing me. I really did not like this school. Louisville is really boring. There is nothing to do in the city and most of the students are already married and have children. For sure going somewhere else. This school did not take.
The lunch was very generous, though we only had 15mins to eat it. A tour preceeds a set of three interviews with a admissions staffer, faculty member and current student.
ULSD was my first choice, but after the experience I had I'll have to reconsider. The school seemed nice enough but that one interviewer was a total jerk.
My first interview was with a 4th year, my second with a faculty member. In both, I was not so much asked questions as it was a discussion between the interviewer and I. It wasn't stressful at all, I wasn't sitting there wondering "what are they going to ask next?!?"
I had a great experience and really love the school. I really would love to go here but now I must wait and see. Everyone is so friendly and I just love the Southern accents! The day is really full and you are pretty much there the whole time. The morning was very informative with presentations.
The day was really kinda fun. The interviews were low stress and relaxed...no hardball. The presentations and speakers were actually not that boring. Lunch could have been better. Overall, it was a great experience at a great school.
It was so awesome. I love the school/students/faculty. I really hope that I get accepted. What a place to go to school! Really excited about the school.
The experience was much more pleasant than I anticipated (for my first interview). During my first interview (with a faculty member), I can't say that the interview was very "conversational"...he was just asking me questions, but none of them were very hard hitting. My second interviewer was a 4th year student, one of the same students that toured us around the building. She was very nice and easygoing. Actually, all of the student interviewers that I met that day were extremely nice. So, all in all, if you have an interview at ULSD, don't worry about it at all. I know now that I was nervous for no reason!
I had a very good impression of the school before my interviews. After the day, I was confused and even though I felt that I had done well, I wasn't sure if it was where I wanted to be for four years.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Applicants appreciate the friendly and responsive nature of the admissions office, with positive feedback on the interview process and staff interactions. Some suggest shorter and more organized presentations, a greater variety of lunch options, and possibly reducing the number of PowerPoint presentations during the admissions process.
Admissions office was friendly and responsive to emails
No suggestions necessary. They are very friendly. I'm hesitant to call admissions offices at times because I feel I am bothering them, but they always make the conversation a pleasant experience.
I like that they have "gone green" giving you any information you need (financial aid powerpoint, welcoming powerpoint, about Louisville powerpoint) on a flashdrive. That helped eliminate the need to write things down as well as allowed you to pay attention.
The lunch was just so-so. I maybe would have had a greater variety of sandwiches.
The presentations were pretty long, 3 hours straight of presentations. It would have been nice to do the first one, take a tour, then finish up and go to lunch.
Most respondents stayed either Hotel or at a hotel.
What is the name of the hotel you stayed in?
The most commonly mentioned hotel is Quality Inn, with multiple variations such as Quality Inn & Suites, Quality Inn Airport, and Quality Inn University/Airport.
