"I wasn't asked a single direct question related to my motivations, strengths, weaknesses, etc by my faculty interviewer. The interviewer knew my file and my stats and clearly stated at the end of the interview that he just wanted to make sure I was "a regular person." Even when I tried to relate what we were talking about (golf, family, his background) back to dental school, it was very apparent that he just wanted to have a friendly chat. It was very relaxing and pleasant. The student interview asked me a few questions, but it was still very conversational in nature. One such question was "Was there a time when you collaborated with other students in your group without expecting anything in return?" UoP was very big on emphasizing the "family" nature of their classes." Report Response | I was asked this question too
""Do you have any questions for me?" This came up a ton. UoP told us that we were there to interview them just as much as they were there to interview us." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"The entire dental school community was fantastic! All of the staff and students were incredibly warm. When we visited the sim lab, literally every student there looked up from their work, greeted us, and wished us well as we were passing through. The admissions office knew all of our names before we arrived. And even when I went out to a local restaurant to eat dinner after the interview, two first-year students recognized me from the day and came over to introduce themselves and chat for about twenty minutes. The school felt like a family, and I felt very comfortable being there. Also, the new building looks phenomenal." Report Response
