"N/A"
"MMI questions because they're so unique"
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years after you graduate from dental school? How about 10 years?"
"Tell me about a time where you didn't get what you wanted, and what you did about it."
"MMI question"
"Pretty straightforward questions."
"Mock interviews"
"Mock interviews!"
"Watched youtube videos and practiced answering sample interview questions"
"Have answers for "why dental," "tell me about yourself," and "why this school," and then just do some reflection and understand yourself. Finally practice having conversations and saying your thoughts out loud."
"Interview preparation, mock interviews"
"Talk to myself like crazy haha."
"Amazing faculty all with diverse experiences. There was an in-depth presentation at the beginning, which I greatly appreciated. This new program was put together with care and detail. They care about feedback from their students. The dean is amazing and talked to each of the students, remembering little details from their applications. The location of El Paso means there will be no shortage of patients to work on. The lack of specialty programs means you will get any and every case. Honestly the dentists that graduate from here will be amazing."
"How smoothly the entire interview day went (admissions team did an excellent job in making individual schedules for applicants to follow)"
"The faculty! They are all super funny!"
"Everything was brand new and top of the line. Also, El Paso is extremely welcoming and it truly, genuinely feels like everyone is a big family."
"Integrated curriculum, early clinical exposure during first year, spanish classes"
"Extremely nice and knowledgable faculty."
"N/A"
"Take deep breaths before each interview !"
"There's a lot of waiting time for those who chose to interview virtually."
"There is only one MMI question, and later you get interviewed by two volunteer dentists who don't work for the school but are a part of the community."
"Interviewers are very friendly."
"You get time before each interview to calm your nerves so don't worry."
"Overall this schools is amazing. It places a lot of emphasis on public health and, best case scenario, really looks for students interested in staying in El Paso after graduation. There is a shortage of dentists and dental care here."
"Overall I loved this experience. The day seems long but it really does fly by bc you have so many activities lined up"
"It would have been good to make the directions to the interview building a bit more clear."
"Great school, great community."
