when the dental school asks, "Tell us some of the value that our dentistry will gain by accepting you?"
How should I answer?
Are they asking me what I am good at? ex) I have detailed-oriented skills...I am good at communication

Can someone give me some guidance?
Thank you!

The way that question is worded it sounds like they would want to know what you can contribute to make the school a better place. That would be something like leadership or mentoring skills. The answer of "I have detailed-oriented skills" falls more under the category of why you would be a good dentist.

I usually stick to the strengths if these type of questions come up. Talk about 2-3 of your strengths and provide examples with them. Another way to answer it is by connecting your strengths with future contribution you can make to the school. For example, if you have done research in a specific subject and want to continue that in dental school.

It's usually unlikely that dental schools will ask you such this question in such a confrontational way. But, it may happen.
