How do you handle stress?

Some of the curriculum is taught where the students are broken into groups. How would you handle a group member who "slacked off," causing the group as a whole to suffer gradewise?

Why dentistry?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

How would you handle having to intereact with patients who may have highly infectious diseases?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

None were really difficult. If you don't have a good answer as to why you're going into dentistry, now would be a good time to figure one out- or that would be the toughest question.

What impressed you positively?

The facility was beautiful. It's all relatively new, especially the sim lab. The number of people in the clinics-very full! Everything was so bright. And I liked that an externship is required.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

not much-although it's expensive. But I knew that, and was prepared for it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

25% of applicants are accepted to interviews. Of those 25%, 75% are accepted outright.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The morning discussion on curriculum and financial aid was informative. The curriculum discussion was a presentation as well as a Q & A session. The interview itself was very relaxed. The questions were pertinent to understanding why you want to become a dentist, as well as how you would cope in dental school/practice. I was nervous because that's the type of person that I am, but in retrospect, it wel very smoothly. I almost wished they hadn't covered so much in the preliminary discussion, so I would have some more questions in the interview! The tour afterward was great. I wished it had been longer so I could have seen more of the day-to-day activity.
