This package is for all things interviews. As many dental schools use different formats for their interviews, this package is fully customizable to your target programs. - Background: In a preliminary 30-45 min. meeting, I will assess your current interview skills and identify strengths and areas of improvement. We’ll also talk briefly about your candidacy/application as a whole. - Response Prep: We will collaboratively brainstorm and polish your responses to common dental school interview questions, ensuring that your answers are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to specific programs. I’ll provide guidance on effectively communicating your passion for dentistry and the personal qualities that make you an ideal candidate. - Mock Interviews and Feedback: We'll conduct 2 realistic mock interviews beyond our additional assessment. They will mirror the format and style of your target dental schools' interviews. Following each, I’ll provide detailed feedback on your performance, addressing areas such as clarity of communication, body language, tone, and overall presentation. - Refining Responses and Building Confidence: Based on the feedback from our mock interviews, we will refine your responses and work on any areas that need improvement. We’ll also go through exercises for building confidence and managing interview anxiety.

Interviews can be intimidating but they need not be. I will walk you through the basic dental school interview questions, and explain how even simple questions can become an opportunity for you to shine. You will master everything from the generic questions ("tell me about yourself,") to the complicated ("how do you feel about the idea of universal dental insurance?")
