Wow... 2 day notification. Have fun with that expensive plane ticket ×__×

edit: I didn't realize how close Iowa is to Minneapolis, you're better off driving 4-6 hours than to spend $900 for a plane ticket.

Let me know if it works out I plan on the same

I deferred, but there's no control over the defer date. When the next batch of interviews comes up (I was told it would be for November), you either accept that date or you're out of consideration since you can only defer once.

[2020dentist]

Do you remember any interview questions from last year?

From what I can remember, my interviewers pretty much asked about my experience in the dental field, volunteering, etc. "Why do you want to be a dentist" of course. The most random question I remember was them asking to tell about a book a recently read. I think they want to see how well rounded you are. Everyone was super nice during my interviews. It is a very competitive program and a small class to boot. Good luck!

Yeah Friday the 23rd. He didn't really go into detail on why it's on Friday instead of Saturday (it's an away football game that week too). They're supposed to send an e-mail later today with more information though. Didn't give me any options, just said that it was on the 23rd and that I should keep that date open.
