💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
First interview was more of "why dentistry/ why OHSU" type questions. Second interview was more about seeing if you've been through some academic adversity/how are you going to handle it.
What was the most interesting question?
What a specific quote in my personal statement meant to me
How did you prepare for the interview?
Google, your average interview prep. Having thoughtful answers to your basic questions (especially regarding your own application) will carry you through this interview. They are not trying to grill you.
What was the most difficult question?
Your undergrad GPA is slightly lower than the average we accept here.. What do you think about that and how will you succeed here if accepted?
What impressed you positively?
Extremely thoughtful questions that were the most personalized of any interview I had. Interviewers were genuine and very interested in what you had to say.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing, best interview.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
You spend a while (probably 45 min or more) "shadowing" a student one on one while they work. Can be a good time to chill out and ask the student questions but also a little boring as they are busy and unable to talk that much.
