Stay hopeful! My interview is Jan 23rd and their Admissions policy talks of interviews between Jan-March so you could appear in a later batch of interviews.

Who else has an interview on the 19th of January? :smile:


Also, are people who are prepping for an interview writing answers to every possible question? Are you learning things my heart?

I wouldn't learn them overly, might sound too rehearsed! I'm sure they just want to see how you cope, rather than come up with all the perfect answers?

That's what I thought! So will you like make notes for potential questions or What? I'm just stuck on how to prep

I think you should still prepare answers for questions, but not to learn by heart just to get ideas down so that you're not completely stumped by any questions cause that's the last thing you want to happen :smile:

Yess that would be absolutely disastrous! May I ask what resources you're using for getting potential questions?

well i attended and interview course day, and they said the generic questions will be the why dentistry? why our university? what have you done to investigate dentistry? and i dont know if i saw this on a thread on here but someone said they like to know what preparation you're doing your motivation your learning skills, team work, personal qualities, interpersonal skills and empathy, integrity and professionalism so they may ask things on that i suppose and observe behaviour and stuff,oh and they could ask what's your worst quality in your opinion
