Everyone uses it but rarely do they leave their own feedback. Leave feedback! It helped you, so help others!!!

Not everyone uses it. Many individuals and schools consider it cheating. If you can not do well in an interview without knowing the questions before hand, you do not deserve to be accepted.

To my knowledge SDN complies with all requests from schools who do not wish to have interview feedback for their school posted; the vast majority have not made such a request. Why do you feel it is cheating?

Is knowing a question that will be on an exam cheating? You gain an unfair advantage to prepare for the interview. Don't be a coward, attempt to achieve something without your hand being held every step of the way. It can be done.

I don't think that's a correct comparison. A more apt one might be to compare it to looking at old tests from the same professor. Of course there is no guarantee that the exact same questions will be on the test, but it gives you an idea of the types of questions and level of detail with which you need to know the material.

Some professors do not allow students to keep their old exams, eliminating this option as an aid to studying. Similarly, schools have this option by disallowing interview feedback.

I don't see anything wrong with the process.

My point exactly....The "material" in an interview consists of your own thoughts and opinions. The only reason someone would need such information is to adjust their answers (thoughts/opinions) to better match those of the school. This is equivalent to cheating.

i dunno why, but i find this Hilarious.

[Katalyst]

I agree that interview feedback is a great resource and not cheating. The whole point of the interview is to get to know you and if looking up the questions ahead of time helps the interview process go more smoothly for yourself, then great. Even if they were multiple choice questions, then it just shows you had a good resource to study from to prepare. No one at my interviews has asked not to talk about the interview to future applicants. It's a personality test, not the DAT.

We'll see how funny you think it is when you get kicked out of school for cheating. Maybe then you can spend more time working on your ninja skills. However, I bet you could figure out why you think it is so funny be asking others for feedback about evaluating your personality.

So do you consider all the universities that have a pre-health committee that conducts mock interviews cheating? 🙄

Not everyone will have the same interviewer so the questions posted most likely will not come up in the readers interview. Also there is no guarantee that the same interviewer will ask the same set of questions to every interviewee.

yeah, go into an interview for any business-related job unprepared, see where it takes you. It's not like people have written down their answers on note cards and memorized it before they walked into the door of the dental school. It's not uncowardly to wing it, it's plain stupid. Dont drill on the tooth by looking at the x-ray first, that's way unfair.....then you know EXACTLY where the decay resides

Whoa dude... chill out. You do realize that you are implying that SDN, as an organization, promotes and facilitates "cheating" in the admissions process. If you feel that way, why do you visit this site?

[stdmufin27]

Barf. We, well most of we, know that the interview feedback is only a small help in the actual interviews. Yeah, it may give you specific questions that are asked in someone else's interview but how is that any different from me asking through a thread about an upcoming interview. I think interview feedback would be better viewed as a tool that helps you feel more comfortable about the school in general AND possibly give you a comparison to your feelings that you are going to have or have experienced.

To put in another context. We all took practice DAT tests. Those were given answers. Is that cheating. Most of had classmates and even professors hand out old tests or quizzes to aid in a particular class and I wouldn't say that was cheating unless you took that stuff in with you for the test/quiz. So, unless you write down the questions from interview feedback, answer them in longhand, and then regurgitate them during your interview I don't see how this can be considered cheating.

That is actually a photo of me. Once I got married, I gained about 300 lbs and started sumo. I change it up a bit, I throw in some round-house kicks and stuff to spice up the matches, when I find time in between looking at interview feedback etc.

why are almost all threads where hansen posted closed? very rhetorical question...

but yeah, interview feedback is there to help those who want/need it, and those who read many of them are those that tend to post their experiences as well.

honestly, SDN's feedback database is one a of kind, so quit your whining, hansen, you corybant.

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: Corybant

In Oriental and Greco-Roman mythology, any of the wild, half-demonic beings who were attendants of the Great Mother of the Gods. Often identified or confused with the Cretan Curetes (attendants of Zeus), they were distinctly Asian in origin and their rites were more orgiastic. Their wild dance was credited with the power of healing mental disorder.

haha, thanks. I never realized the noun form of that word did not carry the same meaning as the adjective form:

youre a dummy... i looked up my interviews list and i was soooooooo shocked when they asked "why dentistry". i never saw that one coming. its how you present yourself and communicate and not necessarily what u answer. i think your just bitter or something. If SDNers have access to it, then baby, ima use it too. just keepin it real buddy, one day at a time

Dr. Simonsen, the Dean at Midwestern lectures everyone at the beginning of the interview process specifically about the Student Doctor Network (he includes screenshots), and how it is the belief of the school that using the interview feedback feature is equivalent to cheating. If you call him and ask, I'm sure he will explain it to you in a manner that hits home after he informs you that Midwestern has decided to decline making you an offer (I know, Midwestern is the most arrogant school and it sucks because it is new).

In addition, after learning that the Student Doctor Network existed after I interviewed at Midwestern, I have began asking the interviewrs at the other schools, the other three I interviewed at, if they were aware of "interview feedback" and what their thoughts were with respect to the ethical implications. It may come as a shock to some, but most were unaware the SDN site exists...aparrently they have better things to do than play on the interweb all day. However, when presented with the notion, all percieved it as dishonest. They were willing to concede the fact that knowing common questions like "Why Dentistry?" does not give an unfair advantage, which is the basis for most arguments in support of interview feedback. However, most schools either ask specific questions with factual answers (anatomical, geographical, current events, etc), or specific ethical questions. These intentionally unique questions are consistent with respect to all students so they can assess the students moral fiber, general knowledge, or thought process in a fair manner, as it compares to all other interviewees.

This is the fact of the matter...so, call me what you like and attempt to defame my character with childish insults. However, the fact remains...I will be attending Dental School in 2008 because I displayed my personality and moral fiber during all of my interviews. So, I guess I will see some of you in dental school next year, or maybe I won't; depending on where i choose to attend.

Interesting. However on quite the contrary, I told my Maryland interviewers that I researched the school through SDN, practiced questions from the interview feedback forum, etc. and they had no problem with it. I guess it's school-dependent.

Dr. Simonsen mentioned no such thing at my interview. I posted feedback from each of my interviews. Generally, I kept my posts to a general opinion of the facilities. Those thing which were unusually specific, ie. the funky interview questions and interview topics, should be left off of any discussion in a feedback post.

If Dr. Simonsen had mentioned that to me in my interview, I'd have never posted feedback, simply as a courtesy to the school. It looks like MWU has blocked access to their feedback, and I support SDN adhering to the school's request.

Calling the interview feedback portion of SDN "cheating" is absurd, however. It's a great way to get student's opinions of schools directly. I used the interview feedback along with the ADEA guide to help determine my list. I think it's a superb resource.

 

[masenasty]

hey buddy,

Admission staff from Temple know about SDN and its interview feedback and had nothing bad to say about it. They said its all fair game. Also BU admissions staff knows about it too and think its a good idea for students to share their experiences and troubles. i got into dental school with a good scores, commitment, volunteering and whatnot. so trying to be all righteous saying u didnt cheat to get in, well now ur the one being childish and ignorant. Its unfortunate you did not know about the interview feedback prior to ur interview. good luck in dental school!

Leave it up to a Kansas City chiefs fan to not understand that interview feedback is not cheating. He is probably just mad that his team stinks. It must be hard to live in a world where your football team goes 4-12.🙄

However, when presented with the notion, all percieved it as dishonest. . . .

I don't care if it's an admissions dean, a professor, or your mom, preparing yourself for an interview is in no way dishonest. until interviews become standardized among all schools and they all ask the same "specific questions with factual answers (anatomical, geographical, current events, etc), or specific ethical questions", calling this preparation identical to cheating is absurd. if the interview feedback included student's exact answers to these questions and you decided to plagiarize them, then yes that's dishonest, but what exists here on SDN is not. there is no way that any student can know for certain that a question asked to an interviewee a month, a year, or 3 yrs ago is going to show up in their interview either. would you also propose that all authors who write interview help literature should be burned at the stake? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

the fact remains...I will be attending Dental School in 2008 because I displayed my personality and moral fiber during all of my interviews.

hmmmmmm, me too. and i didn't even have to get self-righteous about it.

Seriously, you went to be interviewed, and you asked them their thoughts on SDN...and presented them with the notion, and then, and then. then. and then that.

Did you just totally make all that up?? I have a hard time even imagining an conceited interviewee like you explaining to your interviewers about SDN. Thats just not how interviews go. Read the interview feedback.

I don't want my interview to go just how everyone else's interview went...that is kinda the point, and ...

My view has nothing to do with conceit or being self-righteous. It has to do with an ethical standard and the expectation that my future colleagues would be interested in maintaining the nobility of their profession, even if it means working/studying harder.

I'm finished with this topic. I refuse to argue with anymore of you. Good luck to those of you who used interview feedback to help you get in, I look forward to the oppurtunity of working/studying with you in the future. I guess you do what you have to do to get in.

I will argue with this...

The Chiefs are the greatest team there ever was...look it up. However, the Chiefs decided not to win the super bowl this year because we wanted to let the former kicker and linebacker, Lawerence Tynes and Kawika Mitchell, disrespectively, get a super bowl ring to help lessen the pain of no longer being on the greatest team ever. Also a fact...look it up.

First I think there were only two different schools that I interviewed at that had unique questions and one of those was only unique because it was a program that only pertained to that school. Secondly, (I was accepted to Midwestern) I had a friend interview there earlier and he was telling a bunch of us (friends) how it went and some weird questions. Now according to you I should have covered my ears and ran (not walked) away screaming nanananana so I didn't hear a word because that would be cheating. Are you telling me that none of your friends said anything about their interviews? Did you have a pact not to discuss them to protect your integrity until after all of you were done interviewing?
BTW, most schools do know about SDN. Furthermore, if you singled out Dr. Simonsen to talk with him about interview feedback you seriously have a problem...
