I agree!!...students have opened up far too many threads on the " same " topics or schools and we got to read each and every thread!!..Kindly all post on relevants threads so that it will help all of us ..instead of opening up new threads on the same topic or school everytime ..just do a search and you can find relevant threads to post .....and many students will be more inclined to help all of us if we post our comments on the same relevant threads instead of opening new ones up EVERYTIME!! 😎

Good Luck on the interview call.. 👍

Hi Aaru,

Regarding practical exams ..i think all dexterity tests are tough!!
But CA schools are all asking almost the same things...crowns..pfms..

Hi Guys.....Congrats on the interview call to USC! It's a great school. I went through the same dilema and questions as you guys are doing this year. This was my experience:
I had a 3 day interview. First day was just an intro to the program and the school. Second day was the PBL interview. Third day was the practical. The practical was on the bench. I bought my instruments and the typodont from the USC bookstore. I know it's expensive, but it's not a dead investment. You will use the same during school as well.

We were asked to do a class 2 on a maxillary premolar, PFM crown on #8 and a MOD onlay on a mandibular molar(#30). Don't stress out, it's not a hard as you think. Good luck to all!

 

[Toothzone]

Thanks pinkpeanuts!!
your info is really helpful..I guess there are still students ...
who really want to help others...
Good Luck at school!

Hey Gaura, the interview last year was 3 days, it's 2 days this year for whatever reason. There was no written test. We had a PFM on #8, class 2 on upper prenolar and an onlay on a lower molar. A slow speed is optional I guess, it's better to have one though as we don't know what they might ask this year. I didn't wear scrubs last year and I'm not this year for the practical part.

Regards,

someone willing to share hotel room please pm thanks. I am female.

 

[doctor597]

Pink diamond:
I am also looking for a female to share a room with. Please let me know, if you are still interested.

Thanks!!
