Hi
I have been invited for an interview in University of
Pennsylvania, on the 27th of Feb.

There, you've already listed what you'd and should be doing at your interview. They wouldnt ask any technical question whatsoever. You'd be interviewed by 3 different faculty members. Just be yourself and hope for the best. All the best for your interview. You could contact desidentist for more info regarding the school (he's gonna be a student there although not in the PASS program).

Given your experience and clarity of thoughts, I'm sure you will do very well.

Can you please tell us when (what date) you got the interview call and also, did they send you a letter, or email, or call you?

Thanks and best wishes.

Dileep:

Everyone has a weakness on their application, yours is your gpa. However, it doesn't matter what your weakness is but how you represent and present yourself during the interview. PENN is a very mysterious school because it does not look only at Numbers. If they get that "vibe" from you that you will be an asset to their program they will take you hands down.

Like I said in the email I sent you, read up on their community activities. PENN is known for its community dentistry. PENN has 6 Private Care Clinics (PCU's) they have a Mobile that goes to different parts of Philly to help disadvantaged kids.

Also, your teaching experience will blow your competition outta the water. There is a huge need for academic motivated dentists. You have potential. You taught. Currently there are 400 openings for professors that are unfilled. You have experience and you telling them that you would like to teach would be taken more seriously than soemone who does not have teaching experience.

Maybe it is good you have a low gpa, that way you can be a little nervous. Much better than being too over confident I think.

Good luck to all who have interviews at PENN.
