💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

they asked questions like how do you like ur university, why umdnj, why dentistry, where else did u apply, basic stuff. i answered all honestly including where i applied, i think they appreciate that, especially Dr. Wexler...and they knowwhen ur tryin to hide info. saying you interviewed at some other competitive schools shouldnt hurt your chances unless u say u want to go to them over umdnj which wouldn't be the best response.
