"Why do i want to be a dentist?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"What was my best quality/skill and how it would make me a better dentist. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Pretty much standard questions. However the interviewer made answering some questions difficult, because he would comment and sometimes ridicule our responces!" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I read as much as I could about Temple's clinical program from their brochures, and online research. I used Barrons guide to help me prepare myself for questions. I emailed a number of applicants who had had interviews before me. " Report Response
"Their facilities, how friendly everyone was, the 'Temple Dental' pride, friendly students." Report Response
"Their cafeteria left a lot to be desired :P The main interviewer, Dr.Fielding said a lot of things that made all of us a little tense, he was a bit confrontational. He put some of our qualities down openly, in hindsight, i think it was an attempt to get a reaction, and see how we deal! Took me by surprise actually, since everyone else at the school was just super friendly... especially Mark Lombard!" Report Response
"That I didnt have to have a 'short presentation' about myself prepared. They mentioned it in the interview booklet, but they never asked for one. It was very casual!" Report Response
"Overall a great school, and superfriendly faculty, reasonably baseline tuition. They have a loooot of patients in their clinic. There was atleast 20-30 people waiting at 7am in the morning when i got there. Im convinced these guys will make you an excellent GP or one of their many specialty programs! If you are looking into research however, i recommend looking elsewhere... because clinical dentistry is what Temple does best! Philly is also a cheap place to live. Anywhere else on the eastern seaboard will cost you a helluva lot more." Report Response
