At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read over possible questions from the net, used SDN and Premed101 and had a couple of mock interviews.
What impressed you positively?
The other interviewees. They were all very friendly and good looking (lol). Dentistry and Medicine students spend years 1 and 2 together (I think it's important for dentists to also understand the body as a whole). We talked a lot about my research during my interview and they seemed really interested.
What impressed you negatively?
Toronto is cold but Montreal is colder.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I was under the impression it was going to be a 3-on-1 interview. It didn't really matter though. Can't think of anything else I didn't know ahead of time.
What are your general comments?
Quick and painless interview with surprisingly no situational/behavioral questions. I received an offer of admission by phone about 1 month later!
