💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
1) what makes you want to be a dentist?
2) What have you done to prepare for dental school?
What was the most difficult question?
1) What questions do you have for me? (I had a few questions, but I wonder if I should have had more. I asked 3 questions, and then stopped, because I didn't want to take his whole afternoon. Looking back though I think that he would have been glad to sit and answer several more. Missed opportunity.)

How did you prepare for the interview?
Writing my personal statement helped me to learn alot about myself, my motivations, my preparation, and my long term goals. Of course I couldn't survive without the student doctor network.
What impressed you positively?
Clinic is a place I could spend a few years and not hate life. Tons of patients. Omaha is super cool
What impressed you negatively?
At Creighton all dental students MUST wear a tie EVERY day. I wouldn't say that is a negative, but it wasn't a highlight either.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had a copy of my resume on me. Don't try to alter a suit close to interview times. I almost didn't have anything to wear because my alterations were messed up.
What are your general comments?
Creighton technically doesn't do interviews. They call them campus "visits". To get one just call the admissions office and they will schedule one for a friday afternoon. I showed up at 2:00 pm. Sat down with the dean of admissions 1 on 1 for about 15 minutes. He was very friendly. The visit was very conversational. He didn't make me feel stupid. He told me that with my stats I would be very competitive this cycle (gpa 3.66, DAT 20AA/22TS/20PAT).
After the interview we were taken on a tour by a DS-4. He was a great guy. He took over 45 minutes showing us around. He wasn't trying to rush us through everything. He commented that he loved the school, especially all of the clinic time. He said some of the advising dentists in the clinic could be overly anal about certain things, but that it wasn't a big deal.
Overall impression: great clinic (new, lots of room, lots of patients), friendly staff.
