Why Dentistry?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Not a question, but the interviewer made a comment about when he lived in Oregon and how Portland was the capital...and I kept thinking, "No it's not, Salem is" but decided not to correct him...unless it was a test, oh well.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my AADSAS application; I've also done alot of research and presentations at conventions so I reviewed that as well in case they asked to hear about it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really friendly-staff, secretaries, admissions counselor. Talked with professors and students over lunch, along with hearing the "reality" from students when we observed them working in the clinic. Also, talking with the oral surgeons was a bonus.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really...

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I was pretty well informed before the interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was positive. The interviewer was an older professor that makes you think of one's grandfather. The interview was relatively laid back...not as formal as I'd anticipated. At times, he'd say "I see you've done alot of research..." and then he'd pause and not say something like, "So tell me about that" or "What did you do" so I just would start talking about it even though he didn't necessarily ask...I assumed that was what he wanted with the pauses???
