💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If you get accepted, would you have any problem going to New York? Why dentistry?
Tell me about yourself
Why NYU (read the website carefully and know what NYUCD has to offer). My interviewer was impressed that I know a lot about the school.

What was the most interesting question?

You applied to so many schools which is a good thing, but why dental schools and not medical schools?

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing really hard. My interviewer was a female faculty and she was very easy. The questions were really typical. I guess it depends on who interview you. I was scared because my interview was the shortest out of 12 students who were there (10 mins). I didn't know it was a good thing or not because some students there had a 60 mins interview. I guess I was lucky.

What are your general comments?

It was overall a very stress free interview. I couldn't sleep the night before because I guess i was so excited. My interview was only 10 minutes and at first it freaked me out after the interview is completed. My interview was the fastest out of all the 12 students were there. Everyone looked at me odd when I walked out because it was too fast. The staff and faculties really tried to make you feel very comfortable. Each faculty only interview one student, so it is all depend on who you going to get. I had a faculty and she was very easy. She asked me overall about only 4 questions, but the questions were really typical. No tricks at all. I learned that the interview length doesn't mean anything. I got accepted 3 days later.
