💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a dentist?
What was the most interesting question?
Although there isn't one question that stood out in particular, I would say that compared to some of my other interviews, the interviewer seemed much more engaged and ready to get to know me. He asked me lots of "meat and potatoes" questions that got right down to why I want to be a dentist and I thought he asked just the right amount of questions to understand why I am interested in dentistry.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over the OHSU dental website and obtained as much information as I could from dentists in my community, all of which had very positive things to say about the school.
What was the most difficult question?
None were very difficult, just open-minded and down to the point.
What impressed you positively?
I was very impressed with the fact that all of the candidates were asked to put on lab coats and observe different clinics which allowed for a very hands-on approach to the interview day. I watched a denture case and an oral surgery. It was very exciting and like nothing else I had been able to do at other schools.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities are older and the price seems unstable.
