Accepted to SA when I said they were not my top choice. #feelsweirdbrah
Result: Accepted!!I have another one (yay)
Interviewer: So, why our school?
Me: well, I was looking for schools on the east coast, such as the north east, south east, middle east.
...wait
Interviewer (mumbling) : ya the middle east has some great dental schools
me: what?
interviewer: what?
interviewer: anyway
*This was my 6th interview and I was so over the whole interview process*
Interviewer: Do you have any questions for me?
Me: Where did you graduate from?
Interviewer: Where did I graduate from? *Stares blankly*
Me: Yeah! Where did you graduate from dental school?
Interviewer: I'm not a dentist. *Continues to stare*
Me: Uhhh... Oh. *Looks at her white coat and notices she's a Phd*
Me: So what do you do here at the school of dentistry?
Interviewer: So you think because i'm not a DDS I shouldn't be allowed to work here?
Me: (Ugh I just want to go back to Texas)
I got accepted but needless to say i'm not attending this school.
Houston had a dude with a PhD interview me he was a professor.Every interviewer I had was a DDS or dental student. Why would they have a PhD interview you..?
LECOM interview? A guy in my room answered that he was a Brony
LMAO OMG you did NOT SAY THAT.This is super old, but just realized I have a good one:
Interviewer at OOS school: So you'd be fine leaving CA?
Me: Oh sure, I think it'd be awesome to live somewhere else.
Interviewer: Where else have you interviewed?
Me: *Lists off a school in CA*
Interviewer: I thought you were looking to get out of CA?
Me: *realizing how I kind of contradicted myself* Well, you never know when grandma's going to die so I applied to a couple places near her. *IMMEDIATELY PANICKED BECAUSE WHY DID I SAY THAT OHMYGAWD* (Also I said it in a humorous/joking way...as one would naturally discuss the death of grandmas...)
Result: Accepted!
You said what we all wouldn't dare say!well...
Out of State School
interviewer: so why is this your top choice? you want to leave new york to come to school here?
me: this isn't my top choice I'm using this as a backup just in case I can't get into a school in new york.
yes.
You're so bold lol. Did you get accepted?well...

Omg You called a woman old and out of shape, the two things women love to be called!!I arrived so late that the dean called me to see if I was still coming.
Interviewer: tell me something you like to do
Me: I like to workout. *pause* it's great for your physical and mental health
Interviewer: you're right. I should start going to the gym
Me: yeah you should start lifting. Since women don't have as must T as men, lifting can prevent bone loss in older women (she was still in her forties)
UGH.. Finally did it...
I walk into the room, greet my 3 interviewers and sit down (this is my 5th interview mind you.. I should have this down)
Interviewer: (3 minute long "don't be nervous" introduction)
Me (mentally): Ok I'm not nervous.. lets get this going I'm starting to day dream here...
Interviewer: So why dentistry?
Me: Dentistry has everything, (I go on about shadowing doctors, PTs, Dentists etc. getting to work with my hands and helping people.. then I totally just lost my train of thought and repeated myself).. sorry I totally just spaced out, ahahahaha.
Interviewer: no problem... (moves along to next questions)
The rest of the interview went great. Interview was over, went back downstairs to where we were all gathered and waiting etc. Sat there about 3 minutes, looked down and my fly was unzipped... awesome... I went to restroom right before the interview and it must have been down the whole time...
So it was a group interview. The interviewers came in and asked silly questions to break the ice. One was "what's your favorite/funniest commercial?" Everyone talked about an appropriate ad and passed it to the next person. I went completely pale..Why? I'm an immigrant who only watches netflix (no ads) and youtube (with AdBlock). No cable. So mind you I blanked out, and not wanting to look nerdy the ONLY one I could remember was a banned Budlight super-bowl commercial that someone had shared on Facebook ages ago. I basically sensored out all of its funny stuff while giggling histerically and said:
- "Remember that Budlight ad with two dogs in it?... That one...heehee"
Everyone: 8|
Interviewer: well...next.
Proud of my relevant input, the moment of truth hit about 30 seconds later. Needless to say: waitlisted.
Here is the commercial if you haven't seen it.

OMG.. Absolutely the same here. Immigrant, Netflix only...who watches tv nowadays?! But I wasn't able to remember ANY commercial so the first thing that came to mind was the ridiculous old spice ad with the guy on a horse, in a towel, on the beach, etc...
I forget what I said but I laughed. Looking around the room everyone was just staring at me with a straight face
Should've just said "I don't watch TV" mic drop...
Not to be rude, just genuinely curious, but what does being an immigrant have to do with it?
I'm not an immigrant. I don't have cable and primarily use Netflix/Hulu/OTA channels. I can't think of a funny commercial off the top of my head that I'd like to explain in an interview (what a terrible ice breaker!). I don't understand the connection...? Do you think all US-born citizens have cable? Or are raised to pay attention to commercials? lol I'm sure if it were up to the marketing departments we would be.
