Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I played a year of baseball at my school and Dr. Ayers mentioned he had also played a year when he was at New Mexico, so he asked me about my difficult decision to quit baseball and focus on dentistry... probably not an interesting question for anyone else but it gave me an opportunity to show I am very committed to becoming a dentist.

How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews from my school's health committe, SDN

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

since there are no specialties at the school, students are exposed to a huge range of cases. probably the best school in the country in preparing students to deal with what they may face as a dentist, definitely a huge plus

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

location... nebraska is definitely nebraska, but this could actually be a positive for a dental student. less distractions than a city like boston or new york might make it a better place to study dentistry

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing - thanks to the previous posters who prepared me very well for what to expect

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I showed up a half hour early and got right in, so I'd recommend that. Patti is extremely nice and talks to you to help calm your nerves. Dr. Ayers is also very nice and makes you feel very comfortable. He started off just making conversation about my trip and my home state before he asked the real questions, so this helped make things very comfortable. Overall very laid back and conversational.
