“Tell me about yourself” is almost guaranteed to come up in your dental school interviews and it’s not just a warm-up question. It’s your opportunity to guide the conversation and show who you are beyond your stats.


Here’s a structure that works well:

1. Start with who you are background, major, something unique
2. Transition to why dentistry what sparked your interest, and what confirmed it
3. Wrap up with your present focus how you’re preparing now and what excites you about the future

💡 Quick Tips:

• Don’t repeat your personal statement
• Keep it natural, not rehearsed
• Think of it as your personal 2–3 minute story

If anyone wants feedback on their draft, I’m happy to help.
