VCU's concept of an interview is beyond me. One interviewer was extremely sympathetic while the sat there, grilling me on every word that came out of my mouth. I was beyond disgusted by his lack of interest, sincerity and overall demeanor. The guy questioned each statement I made, as if I was lying about everything. He even asked me to show examples of a specific hobby I mentioned. I'm sorry, I was under the impression that you wanted to get to me off paper, not try and validate my resume. I expected something similar to this, but not for him to sit there clearly look annoyed at my very presence. I was already nervous as is, having him trying to intimidate me made me lose every last bit of confidence. They didn't even ask me about any of my extracurricular activities, nothing about me other than why I wanted to be a dentist, followed by them questioning the sincerity of my reasoning. I heard others had a pleasant experience with both interviewers but a couple others had similar experiences to mine. Plus, there is clearly nothing wrong with my GPA or my DAT score, both of which are well above their crappy average. But he still managed to ask me if I'm considering retaking the exam, so I have a more "well-rounded score." Overall, far from a pleasant experience. I doubt I will ever hear from them again after today.
