"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
