Questions about SMPs

So, I have just received an interview request for an SMP and I have some general questions.

1. Should I email the dental school's I've interviewed at about this? I'm hoping it could push my chances of being accepted by even 1%.

2. what are some questions do you think they'll ask? I'm thinking :

1. Why dental?
2. Why our school?
3. Why an SMP?
4. How will you pay for this?
5. what kind of research do you want to do?
6. and a collection of other basic questions (strengths, weaknesses, etc)

Clarify your use of "they."

I don't think you need to interview dental schools where you have interviewed about getting an SMP interview. It might give them more reason NOT to accept you.

What did you send to the SMP director? What are your expectations of your SMP? You shoudln't go into this SMP wanting to do research; you should want to improve your academic record.

"they" as in the SMP admins.

The SMP has a research pathway.
