Big Deal or Not?

Hey ya'll.. I had an interview yesterday and everything went really well! The school was great and the interview was pretty laid back. However, after walking back to my hotel I realized that the committee that was interviewing me never asked the basic question "Why do you want to be a dentist" or "why dentistry"... is this bad for some reason? I'm just wondering because I thought they always asked that question? Thanks for any help and sorry if I'm just paranoid!

dude, you're toasted! j/k. three scenarios: 1) they're certain of your interest already, 2) they're certain of your lack of interest already, 3) they don't give a damn b/c you have good numbers and want you.

If you have good stats and portrayed yourself in a good light during the interview, you have nothing to worry about. Chance of getting accepted after the interview (if you're not a weirdo) is high, 20-35%. (I made these numbers up!)

Well everyone and their mom has a pre-thought out answer to that question so not all interviewers want to hear the automated response you'll be spewing out your mouth when they ask that question.

It's a lot more fun to ask other questions that you haven't expected, so you actually answer it on the spot.

haha thanks for the 3 scenarios Dentdeloriente! I feel pretty comfortable with my numbers so hopefully it is either scenario 1 or 3! 🙂

Thanks streetwolf... I didn't really think about it like that so I guess we will just wait and see.
