What are your general comments?

"interview was very laid back. they want to make sure the student knows about dentistry and not just trying to get in because of his/her high grades. just be yourself. It is more of a conversation than asking standard interview questions. be prepared to answer questions about specific low grades you got in classes or on the DAT because they will ask why. Cheating question is asked every single time, so be sure you tell them ''the cheater doesn't deserve to be in dental school, it's not professional or ethical'' New school is very nice. The interview goes by quickly so make sure you tell and show all of the good stuff about you in the short time you get to talk. " Report Response
