Hey, I have already graduated from college and I don't have a pre-health advisor to consult and I was wondering if you could throw out some pretty typical interview questions and what an expected answer would be for those questions... I dont know if anyone else wants to know this info, but I think that it would be helpful to many of us!!

Thanks😀

If you click on the "Interview Feedback" link at the top of this page, it will take you to an area that has the information you're looking for. I don't know if it's a good idea to memorize standard answers to questions, but preparing for the interview is crucial.
 
There's an interview database SDN provides on the mainpage...that's a very good resource for interview questions. Some common ones are:

- Why dentistry? Why not medicine?
- Why <school of choice>?
- Discuss an ethical situation you've been in and how you handled it.
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?
- Do you have any questions for me?
- Why did you get a bad grade in <specific class>?
- Why did you do poorly in <section> of the DAT?
