💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why dentistry?

What was the most interesting question?

Well, it is not quite a question, but they size you for your lab coat and gloves.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website and review my applications

What was the most difficult question?

How does my experience in the pain center related to dentistry?

What impressed you positively?

Great and friendly people. Upperclass-students want to help you out. Excellent board score. Various programs and leadership positions. I feel like home.

What impressed you negatively?

They admit that they are having troubles with getting enough patients. Though it might be a strength because I will be trained to take better care of my patients. Knowing how competitive CA can be, it never hurts to practice good clinical skills to keep your patients.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I am quite familiar with the schools from my previous visits. It is true that they do keep an record of your ranking internally for scholarships and awards nomination.
