Are interviews scheduled Mon-Fri? Yes

What time do they start? 8:00am? Some, others start later in the morning.

How long do they last? The day lasts anywhere from 4-6 hours

What do you do? tour? Tour, financial aid presentation, student panel, lunch..

How long is the interrogation process a.k.a. being subjected to the focal part of the interview? ~30 min.

What are some examples of questions they may ask? Why school X? Why dentistry? Why this grade in this class? What have you done to sharpen your dexterity? How did you prepare for the DAT... this interview? etc...

Should your answers be longer or brief/concise? They should be fairly concise. Try to turn the interview into more of a conversation. It will allow you to relax, and will also show the interviewer(s) that you're personable--a necessary trait to be a successful dentist.
