So I'm not really that nervous about an upcoming interview except for one aspect...questions to ask the interviewer. I don't want to simply answer I don't have any questions when I'm asked. I've looked over the school's website and feel like I have a good grasp of how my life would be there. What then would be some good questions to ask? Thanks!

No questions does not mean a bad thing. I had an interview at UNLV and told the interviewer that i had no questions for him because I had them all answered by my student interviewer earlier. He said

~~ "Thanks for being honest and not wasting my time by asking the same questions. It's good that you arent trying to just impress me by asking questions you know the answer to. Both our time is more valuable than that. I look favorably on that"

This question has been asked so many times. The answer to this question, yet again:

Ask whatever you need/want to know about the school or program, that you can't find on the website.

Does the school offer any help for starting freshmen (tutors? upper clansmen? in-school psycologist? etc)

Whats the patient pool like in this area?

(if you are interested in research, you can ask about that). How would I get involved with research?

Don't ask stupid things like "whats your board part 1 passing rates"..... most dental schools in the nation have a 90% passing rate (heck, many are above 95%).

you can ask when the boards are taken (after DS1 or DS2)?
