Why do you want to attend a certain dental school?

[IUbtown]

Many supplemental applications ask why you have chosen to apply to their program. What do you think they are looking for here?

umm....why do you want to attend the dental school!

Is it that complicated? You should have a reason why you want to attend a certain dental school....for example, are they research oriented and are you interested in research? that could be a reason!

Well considering a lot of pre-dents are applying to a large range of schools simply to increase their chances of admission to a dental program, it can be a difficult question .

ok.. this can be hard because you dont know a TON about the different schools etc etc.. well.. i would first look for info about the schools on their website/sdn interview feedback/student posts on here.. then i would pick a few things out that I liked about the school (lots of community involvement... new clinics... special curriculum etc etc) and focus on those aspects and tie them back to what i want in a dental school and how I think the school would be a good fit for me...

hope that helps
