Hello all, I thought I would bring back some threads I found useful from last year in preparing for interviews.

**Updated for 2013**

#1: Interview attire discussion from the pre-med threads: (Link restored)

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=791510&highlight=dantemac (topic is closed but worth a review) http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=731757&highlight=interview+dress

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=842733&highlight=interview+attire (2012 revival of the topic)

#2: Top Ten Interview Questions guide...these questions definitely popped up!

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=669600

#3: Student Feedback from every dental school (scroll down for list. Note the project is about 5 years old). I printed these out for every interview, it's a very basic intro to the school.

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=401980&page=5

#4: Interview feedback - Interviewees post common questions asked, and also give impressions of the school, both good and bad. Good to read beforehand.

Hope these help! Good luck interviewing this cycle.

for your number 1, interview attire discussion, I think you linked the wrong thread. Thus, can you please give us the right thread?

Yup, but the other 3 are solid gold. I am definitely interested in the attire discussion. I''m VERY familiar with how to dress for a corporate sort of job, but not too sure about D-school. I know Navy/Charcoal/Black nothing too bold or flashy, but the devil is always in the details right?
 
Navy, grey, or black suit. Single-breasted jacket. White or light blue shirt. Plain tie or simple pattern. Matching belt and shoes. No earrings, light jewelry if need be (watch, ring, bracelet), tattoos hidden if you have them. Clean shaven, clean haircut. Skip on the cologne/aftershave. Killer smile.

Dressed for success
 
Yikes, I did post the link for #1. I'll fix that shortly.
 
The links to interview attire discussions from 2010 and 2011/2012 have now been posted - they are from the pre-med forums but worth a look for anyone interested.
 
I'll bump this for the 2013 cycle. Good luck everyone! 👍
 
Oh wow! This is super helpful! Thanks!!
