I think I got a bad interviewer because the majority of these reviews say the interview was super chill. Otherwise, I loved the presentation day that you are required to go to before the interview! Everyone was so nice and it was very casual :)
💬 Interview Process

How has dentistry changed in the past 10-15 years? (I am 21 for reference....)

SDN, it was very helpful.

What was the most difficult question?

How has technology advanced in practices? Wanted me to know this somehow

What impressed you positively?

The duration was longer one-on-one than any other interview I have had. Forty-five minutes is a good amount of time!

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer asked off-handed and irrelevant questions to someone who is applying to dental school. I was disappointed and unexpectedly stressed out during this interview. My other interviews were so much more chill than this one.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should know what technological advances have been introduced into practices over the past 10 years and how dentistry has changed in general over the past 10-15 years. I wish I would've known these things.
