interviw: May 7th
All info needed....from travel , staying, hotels etc,to clinical skills exam, do we have to take scrubs with us or not..etc

 

[fulldenture]

There are couple of hotels nearby which shuttle you to the school. If you want to wear scrubs and loupes those are your choice. Fly into Denver international Airport (DIA) and u can get super shuttle to where u want to go. hope this helps.

Hi all....

well, i confirmed my interview for may 7th yest.. havent heard back frm ms. miller yet... i recollect reading bout interview fees but nothing ws mentioned in my interview letter.. also, regarding the scrubs... they have mentioned in the letter tht the personal interview n skills test will be held frm 9am to 4.30pm... so do we change into scrubd for the skills test? wat all instruments is eveyone planning on carrying? coz i heard tht the school provides everything.. if anyone can throw some light on the above things, it wud be of great help...

 

[fulldenture]

You can change into scrubs if you like before the lab portion of your interview. I would suggest dress formally like you do for any interview. have to be professional. The school does not have lockers to put your stuff in. I am sure you can ask the hotel to hold it till u finish. I think there is a super 8 motel nearby which shuttles people to the school. Please check. Yes you can use your bur. That was allowed till last year. Don't know about this year. You should practice crown and cavity prep. thats what is asked along with wax exercises. If the interview is till 4.30 there will be people who finish very early and some who will finish at 4.30. Depends on if you do the interview in the morning or evening. If you Finish you can leave.

Hi,

I have seen a lot of questions in this thread regarding the colorado interview. I was there last year and was accepted too. I am not a current student there as I was accepted to the school of my choice. Anways heres my experience:

When you go the day of the interview, the first thing in the morning, Jane miller gives each candidate a File of his own bearing your name and a canddate number which you will be using later for the bench test as your anonymous identity. The entire batch is divided in two. One half has bench exam in the morning while the other goes for interview. Then there is lunch and then the groups switch. Also in each group there are subgroups may be 7 -8 with 4 candidates in that subgroup. It is that these 4 people in the subgroup are interviewed by same panel of interviewers.

Ok , the interview is taken by one faculty, one administrative staff and one current ISP student. Interview is all general, all they want to know is you as person. Current ISP students ask u some ethical questions which let me tell have no fixed answer and no point preparing as they want just logical answers which you think is plausible and right in that situation!!!

The bench exam u have to do class2 and one gold prep. Then is the wax exercise. U will be given a card where u have to fill wax in printed alphabets. It just to test your skills, precision and neatness with wax. Also you have to carve a shape they give out of green stick wax. They circulate samples during the exam.

Also you must dress formally for the interview and you may switch to scrubs. All you have to be is comfortable during the bench test. But it is not mandatory. Last year girls were in simple jeans too. So its all abt your comfort but not the same for interview.

I saw some questions on shuttle. Thats right, the super shuttle service is great. You can get one by paying at the airport, they have an office at the airport. I actually prepaid for the shuttle online and all I had to do at the airport was get my token for the same. The service is really good. Some hotels have free shuttle too. Good hotel to stay is Holiday Inn express in aurora which is like 10 min by car to the school. But I remember most of the candidates were staying at Super 8 near the school.

Good luck people. iam sure you all shall do great!!!
