Congrats! Hey, i wanted to ask you that how much of weightage is given to dental experience in US for the interviews. Did you have some dental experience in US?

Thanks.I didnot have any dental experience in US but I had 3 years in my home town.

UMinn is a great school to get into. The Sim lab was awesome. The interview is very laid back but please do not lie to the interviewers. They are very experienced. Dr. berthold and Ms.Campanaro were very sweet.
Good Luck!!

I think you should apply, and since you have to send notarized copies, you can post the application today and it can reach them the next day. I think they had a few more seats left when I was interviewed.
Good luck!!

congratulations on making it through...I have been waitlisted and I have never prayed more fervently that some of the accepted students get accepted elsewhere so that mere mortals like myself stand a better chance of being accepted...anyways...congratulations to all of you who are in...good luck to those who are in a limbo like yours truly...and 'keep trying' to those trying...have a great new year

Hey SLS and DocDK,
Do not lose hope. I'm sure you will get in!!
Hey Polishandshine,
There is a thread that explains in detail about the interview at UMN.
I do not think there are any subject oriented questions. Its a personal interview.
Good luck!!!
