so far i have interviews at nyu rutgers and nova, how do i prepare, how hard is each of these schools, chances of getting in once receiving an interview, any advice in general?

I think you need to be a bit more specific and refine your request....you are asking for alot!

In general my advice is to dress impeccably, be early, and be yourself. Make sure that you know about the school, their core values and their mission statement. Also know the general trends and issues facing dentists and dental students. And definitely review the ADA's webpage on ethics, you will definitely be asked about ethics! Good Luck!

thank you very much for your input, and idk I'm just nervous lol but also so happy to have gotten some interviews finally 🙂

No worries! You will do great, try not to overthink it too much, you should go in with a lot of confidence because you have an awesome DAT and likely great grades. Remember that the school is trying to sell themselves to you too, its not a one way street. Plus there is no need to be nervous because by and large Dentists are nice people and they are not into intimidating candidates....they don't start yelling at you until you are in the lab/clinic haha 😉
