What was the most interesting question?

Nothing interesting. As you already know by now. Very laid back. We talked about sports, Title IX, and very little about dentistry and myself. If you don't have a personanlity, that can be a problem.

What was the most difficult question?

The old: Why denstistry? You got 17 in math! Is that a problem? I had good math grades in school and my overall was good. English and PAT are the most important for them.
