I have my interview on monday for pitt dental and I looked over their website but it's a bit vague. What are some key points, attributes of this school? How would I find information about their board scores and the like?

Basically, I'm not sure if I have an appropriate answer for the "why this school" question.

I was going to talk about their sim lab and hands on exp. anything else??

Looking forward to meeting you all on monday 😀😀

How about, "Because I'm a huge Pirates fan." They'll think you have a great sense of humor and you'll be in for sure.

Hahaha, yeah, some of our faculty are huge sports fans actually. I'd love to give you some talking points, but I'll atleast point you in the right direction. To answer that question, look at their mission statement, and then look around on the site to find out about how they're working at those. Especially the one that starts with R, and the one that rhymes with Lamunity Ervice. A hint with that last one deals with special needs. They also have other new stuff that they might talk about on the website. Most importantly though, what are some things that you like? That's the real answer that they'll be wanting to hear, not something canned. It's not a hard interview, they just want you to be honest. Don't stress, and I'll see you there on Monday, bring warm clothes!

PS. If you're really desperate, I wrote a Pro and Con thread when I was deciding what school to go to.

Is it Clinical or reasearch oriented school?
Thanks! 🙂
