Dental School Interview Mess-Ups 2019

[ASPEN'S NIGHTMARE]

I've been reading through previous interview mess-up threads and thought they were really funny + good learning material. Definitely changed how I view/ interpret some of the questions they ask/ why they ask them + opened my mind up a bit to more perspectives.

With that being said, I'm sure many of us have said some stupid things this cycle that we regret as well. I know I have!

IF you have already been accepted or rejected from a school, or are already in dental school, please share your mess ups! haha

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE your stories if you are currently waitlisted. I don't want anyone to be recognized and have it hurt their chances!

I'm waitlisted at all the schools I've interviewed at rn so I can't share any myself, but I'll come back and add them once I've been accepted or when this cycle ends

Me: “It was the year 1999, when my parents trudged through the Sahara, barefoot, with a child tightly wrapped on my mother’s back. That child was me. My mother always tells me my first words were ‘improve oral health of underserved’.
This is my destiny.”
