Members do not see this ad.

I have an interview at UCSF in two weeks can you guys help me out iwth my concerns by answering these questions.


1. What's the format like? crowded with interviewees (anyone who's interviewed at UNC will know what I'm talking about) or small group? Interviews at the beginning or end of the day.etc?

2. How many people will conduct the interviews (#faculty, #student, alum, etc)? Were each 1on1?

3. Any essays to write?

4. What kinds of questions were asked? Any odd, unusual, unique, out of the ordinary questions? Typical interview questions--strengths/weaknesses, why dentistry, etc?

5. what can I do to prepare? Should I be current on any dental societal issues, research, etc?

6. Overall vibe: intimidating, relaxed, etc?

7. Do they tell you when you will be notified of their decision?

8. Any additional thoughts ?

Yep, go to the Info for Dental INterviews and your questions can be answered there. My personal answer to your questions are:

1. There were about 14 people at my interview day, this could either be the quota they have for interview day or not I don't really know. INterviews are throughout the day, depending on when your interviewer can meet with you.

2. Two interviews: one faculty, one student, all one-one

3. Yes you will have to write an essay but it's pretty easy...mainly some ethical/philosophical question.

4. typical questions were asked, though for my faculty interviewer we digressed onto many diff things

5. It's a closed interview so they don't know what you put on your secondaries or apps. Personally, I didn't prepare for anything but it wouldn't hurt to be knowledgeable in what's going on in the world

6. my student interview was relaxing, my faculty was a bit tense since we went into lots of diff topics, politics and stuff

7. I interviewed before Dec 1 so i knew i'd know by Dec 1

8. Just relax, it's not a hard interview at all

Best of luck!
