What was the most interesting question?

One of the interviewers asked me if I was good with computers. I told him I was pretty good. Then he asked if he brought me a computer in a box, would I try to put it together right away, or would I read the manual first. I said if it's a computer, I know how to put it together, but if it was something new to me, I'd probably read the manual first just to make sure I knew what I was doing. Then he told me that he's the type of person that would read the first few pages, and then get bored and try to figure out the rest. "Are you like me, or would you read the manual cover to cover?" I figured he wanted me to change my mind to agree with him, so I just stuck to my guns and told him I'd probably read the manual. Weird question, and I'm still not sure if I answered it correctly.

What was the most difficult question?

The same jerk asked me this: He said that according to my file, I had mentioned that I found Dentistry to be exciting. "What's so exciting about it?" he asked. Seemed like something I would have written, so I gave him a good enough honest answer. Then I went home and read over my personal statement, and saw that I had never mentioned the word "exciting" anywhere on it. I don't know what he was trying to accomplish with that trick, but I didn't appreciate it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I felt they were not friendly or welcoming, but cocky. I got the impression that their mentality was "You should be lucky to go here," not "We would like for you to go here." I guess that's what you get when you interview almost every in-state applicant just to get their thirty dollars.
