Hey guys! I am trying to prepare for my interview coming up and its my only one so I really want to kill it! I was just curious for anyone who was accepted on how you prepared for your interviews and any recommendations? Thanks again!
Bringing in a bottle of water is perfectly fine. Also important to be drinking water during the interview day prior to the actual interview to keep hydrated.Im mostly just scared of using any type of slang or casual talk... my mouth also gets dry so like would i be able to bring in a bottle of water or would that be super weird
yeah the school i am interviewing at is said to be more stress free and more like a conversational interview which is fine because I can hold a conversation no problem.. i also dont have a problem talking to people but im definitely gonna take that tip of staying hydrated!Bringing in a bottle of water is perfectly fine.

Two of my interviews even had water in the room for interviewees to drink. I was super stressed for my first one, but you really just have to shake the nerves off and go in confident. Easier said than done, but it is really important. Depending on the school, it will probably be more like a conversation than an interview. Most schools save for a few are keeping the traditional intense interview format
I did very little preparation other than looking at some questions people posted that they were asked at their interview.
At the end of the day, I wanted to be accepted to a school because I gave genuine, truthful answers on the spot that showed my interest/passion for dentistry.
Unfortunately interviews are simply a means of getting in, and I know a wide variety of people that fabricate their answers/stories in order to sound more interested and more interesting.
I didn't want to receive an acceptance based off of a lie, even though it meant that I might not "sound" as good as someone that ran their answers through 10 different people just to make them sound like they were more involved than they really were.

One interviewer said what's up to me. I said what's up back
Some other applicants I met at interviews told me their mouth get dry when they are nervous so they used biotene
