From my experience, your PS + your application + your supplementals + your you. Know these like your alphabets and numbers.🙂

There are plenty of questions that question your integrity for pursuing dentistry; that's all.

This is a pretty good list of questions.

These are print-out-and-keep- by-the-toilet-questions. Not to memorize. Just to cross your mind so you're not blank should these or similar questions come up. My favorite lame question was, "What's the last book you've read?"

During 18 months of full-time post-bacc, shadowing, hundreds of volunteer hours and a small family, I didn't have much time to curl up with a good book. I had thought about it beforehand rather than sit and say, "I don't know." I could have very well just explained what I did about my life above and been fine. But I had a real answer. I'll admit, I over prepare for everything. But I know that's just how some people do things.
 
Yes def not to memorize but would like to think of types of questions that could possibly arise and have in the back of my head just in case ....
