What was the most interesting question?

"Nothing really interesting was asked. I tutor at a high school in the Bronx and the interview began with the interviewer asking me about it and it turned out his daughter graduated from the high school I tutor at." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most difficult question?

"Nothing difficult was really asked. The interview was more like him and I generally conversing. It lasted a really long time (around 90 minutes) and it went by relatively smoothly. I just found out I was accepted today so I believe that the laid-back tone during the interview had a big part to play. I guess the most difficult question was "You mention a lot of reasons for wanting to pursue dentistry that can also be said about being a teacher, what specifically sets dentistry apart from that?"" Report Response | I was asked this question too

What impressed you positively?

"Amy Knowles is a genuinely gracious person. She impressed me the most to be honest. I could not have felt more comfortable than I did during the tour.

Report Response

"The cost of tuition is steep, but I have been attending graduate school at NYU and am used to everything so it really isn't that big of a deal anymore." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I was the first person to arrive and actually arrived at around 7:40 and was taken to be interviewed immediately. It was my understanding that the interviews began at 8:00 so I was caught in a rush it seemed." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The interview was outstanding. I was expecting it to be dull and boring from what I had heard, but it was exactly the opposite. Amy Knowles is great and the tour was amazing. My interviewer was a professor of behavioral sciences and psychotherapy and it seemed at times that he was throwing things at me to see my reaction. I must have reacted favorably because I got in. Overall, it was a laid-back, comfortable time." Report Response
