4. Mock-Interviews Preparation: Know everything you can about that school
2 minute intro about yourself
No memorized answers to questions you think
may be asked
Come with questions if you have them
Don’t ask something you can find out online

5. Mock-Interviews
If you were the interviewer what would you ask the applicant?
about themselves: interests, strengths/weaknesses
interest in dentistry
experiences shadowing or assisting
plans for after DMD
ethical scenario
If you don’t have an answer to a question say so:
I don’t know
I haven’t considered that
I need to think about that
Interviews are for a short period of time. Don’t run on and on
with an answer
