I had an interview at NYU so I thought I would share my experience. I found the staff to be quite friendly and supportive. They really tried to keep us calm and relaxed. Interviews began before 8am and I was one of the first ones called. There were 10 of us in total and each one of us had an interview of at least 20 minutes, to a max of about 40 minutes.

My interview went reasonably well, I thought, but you never really know what they are expecting. I was asked basic questions. Everyone was asked why NYU? They go over your resume and pick out specific experiences to discuss with you. I was asked what procedures I performed in India and what I would like to do in the future. I was also asked specific questions from my personal statement. Overall, for me, there were no surprises. I was only asked a few questions and more time was spent in conversation.

From what I heard from other students, they do ask you questions dealing with ethics. They may ask you to compare and contrast your experience back home and over here. Don't be surprised if they ask you about any lower scores or anything they perceive to be negative on your transcript.

The rest of the morning was spent in tours and lunch. It is a beautiful facility. Perhaps the best I have seen in any dental school. We had lunch with other students there so we had an opportunity to gain more information. I was very satisfied with the experience and I really hope things work out for me here.

Some more info. for you guys. I heard this from the source so it should be legit. They have reviewed 747 applications for this program, and they intend on interviewing approx. 10 students a week. There are 125 seats. Since interviews are held over four months, this would mean that they would probably call 160-180 students for an interview and there is a better than 50% chance of being accepted if called.

Other advice I would give you guys. Do not take your original documents with you for the interview. They never asked for it and it is just extra weight. Staff member there told me it is better we keep it at home and they will let us know if they need any documents. Try to get there at 7:30am. The interviews are fairly easy going and if they have you called you, there is a good chance they already like you. Keep it simple and be yourself. If there are any other questions, please feel free to pm me. Wish me luck!

Hi desi-dentist, good feedback, Please tell me that what are the chances of candidate to get an interview call who have ECE gpa below 3 and part-1 above 85, I have 2.7 and 87. still they are strict to their rules of ece above 3 and score above 85. did you find any applicant who have low score below this limit. All the best to you.
 
I always inquire about SDN celebrities 😀 I do hope things work out for me at this university, and also for your friend.

Hi Stelon. I have heard conflicting reports about GPA and scores in terms of admission for NYU. First I heard they won't be calling students with ECE GPA's below 3.0, but I know for a fact students have been invited with low GPAs. At least one student had a low GPA (below 3.0) at my interview, but this person was a re-applicant. They do take GPA's seriously and they are only accepting ECE GPA's from new applicants. They really stressed this during the information session. I would suggest you contact them directly and speak to them about this. I really cannot give you a definitive answer about what they want. Best of luck in your application.
