I just recieved an interview invitation for the USC Dental School!! If you have interviewed there this year I would greatly appreciate some suggestions or even what the day was like. Thank you and good luck to all!

hey check this link out:

http://share.studentdoctor.net/interviewdent/index.asp

that'll give you the database of interview feedback left by the people on SDN 🙂

i'm going to move your thread to the pre-dent forum as well because i think you'll get a better and more up-to-date response about the interview than from the dental student folks

There is no one on one interview. The interview day goes basically like this, introduction (ok...a little bit of a let down), financial aid talk (good...the guy was very straightforward), problem based learning session (it was pretty fun), lunch, and then a tour of the school. Overall it was an ok experience. I hung out with a friend afterward. Worth going...if at least for the experience.

Thank you! Did you prepare for the pbl at all?🙂

I interviewed last year...but I would say just go through all the threads on SDN and practice making up useless arguments/theories (for and against) on peoples ideas and you should be good to go!
You can't really prepare for it.

When I interviewed there was an essay question that asked you to write about half of a page on an ethical principle you live by everyday and examples of how you practice it. For PBL session be ready to volunteer to read, write on a marker board, and speak in front of a small group(about 10 people in mine). Everything else is easy.
