What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

An ethical question; it was something like: if a person shows up at your clinic in a lot of pain and it's the end of the day and you're backed up, how would you handle it?
Describe a time when you were presented with a challenge and what did you?
The classic: Why dentistry? Manual dexterity activities/hobbies.

What was the most interesting question?

What is one quality that you do not possess that you wish you did? The way this was asked made it interesting, though it is really just asking for your weakness.

What was the most difficult question?

The one about weaknesses; the way it was asked threw me off a bit.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback and previous threads, practiced with work's HR person who is a friend.

What impressed you positively?

The interview day was well structured; you end up spending about 4 hours there.

What impressed you negatively?

It seems they try to somewhat have a balance of personalities in the interview committee; one of the interviewers seems to take the "tough, stern-faced" role; I think they do it to see how you react.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I can't think of anything--it happened so long ago now.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a good impression of the place. My suggestions for interviewing: be prepared to answer a form of the most typically asked questions; and remember there may be a person purposely trying to throw you off your game to see how you react; they want to get a good impression of how you react under stress, so stay calm.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
