A helpful hint for interview questions if you have a burning desire to specialize, make sure you ask what types of resources and programs the school has for students who want to specialize. If you really have the desire to specialize and you have some experience in the field to fall back on, this is a big consideration. Some schools are great on helping those students achieve those goals, others aren't really organized or geared for that purpose. Typically those schools that are set up to meet these desires of students will have more to say then 11/18 graduates got accepted into such and such program, so pay attention to these comments and ask specific questions about leadership, tutoring, mentor, and academic programs designed to meet the needs of those of you who want to specialize. Most of all, if you have a vision, hold on to it and don't let setbacks discourage you. Good luck

Thanks for letting us know! Are you one of those who want to specialize? Where do you go and do you find that your school has these resources?
 
I do want to specialize, and I am attending dental school in San Francisco at the UoP. This school is fantastic as far as resources, though it is a very intense program because it is accelerated. If you are ready to put in the time you can make it happen.
