i wanted to know of any good questions to ask an interviewer maybe someone can help me.
 
Personally, I wouldn't have any questions ready because they might not fit with the schools program or may have already been addressed in the introduction. As you are lectured on their curriculum, you will find many questions to ask. Be willing to ask the students questions during lunch. They are usually honest and willing to answer questions that you might feel uncomfortable asking a faculty member. Here are some questions you to think of but you'll find some of your own the day of the interview.

1)Do students find time to get involved in extracurricular activities like research or clubs?
2)How many of your students pursue residency after graduation
3)Most popular specialty?
4)Do u have an online library?
5)Do you have a program that networks the dental students with med/pharmacy/law students
6)Do you offer any additional classes like forensic dentistry?
7)It it is a pass/fail system, you may want to ask if students work together considering they are not competing for grades.

Hmm... BUBBLICIOUS, I commend you on your choice of screen names. I'm a big fan of names that end in "cious." Now, to the question at hand. I really like the "thinking out of the box questions." You know, questions like 'if you were a household appliance, which one would you be and why?' With questions like these you can really tell what the faculty of that school are made of. After all, the interview is just as much for you as it is for the school. I asked these three questions.

1) If you had to sleep with a cartoon character, which one would you choose and why?
2) If you had to fight a black bear or a tiger shark, which one would you fight and why?
3) Do you think you could outrun a tsunami?
 
1) What is the patient pool like?
2) Do you have to schedule your own patients?
3) Are you looking to switch to mandatory computer purchase/usage in the future years? (as a book replacement)
4) Will we sharing classes with medical students?
5) How is the school calendar divided?
6) Is parking assigned, purchased at the beginning of the year, or what?
