"Your interviewer will have a sheet with four questions on it, these are the four: 1) Tell me about yourself and why you want to go into dentistry 2) How do you plan your time and how do you manage stress? 3) What is one strength and one weakness? 4) What type of people do you not get along with? On the first, stay away from mention money and easy hours. On the second, DO mention that you plan your schedule, e.g., by using planners, smartphone or desktop calendars, etc. To manage stress, again mention that you do something, like exercising frequently, always making sure to spend time with friends and family, reading... On the third, don't name a weakness you can't work on. And the weakness shouldn't put you at a disadvantage as a dental student/dentist. On the fourth, remember not to look like you're hard to get along with. The interviewer wants to know that you're a people person, and that in your class or as a dental service provider, you are the type to get along with all sorts of people. You could mention that you like working in groups, but that XYZ personality types are harder to work with than others (overbearing, disrespectful, self-interested, etc). Your interviewer will jot notes on your responses on that sheet with the four questions. Also be prepared to tell him/her why you want to go to Houston over other dental schools."

"Nothing unexpected. Plan your answers to the four main questions. Make sure to engage your interviewer and get them to talk a bit about themselves (why he/she chose academia over clinical practice) and why Houston should be your destination. Also, ask good, relevant questions, e.g., how the school is adapting to advances in dentistry, any changes in curriculum or clinical that he/she expects in the near to mid-term, what advice he/she would have for a pre-dent in final year of undergrad, etc." Report Response
