Dental school interviews aren’t one-size-fits-all, and knowing what to expect is half the battle. 🦷✨

📣 Swipe through for a breakdown of the interview formats you may encounter this cycle: from faculty and student panels and traditional one-on-one interviews to fast-paced MMI stations, video assessments, and collaborative group interviews.

➡️ Want to put these strategies into practice before the real thing?

✅ Join us for our Mock Interview Webinar on September 2nd!

We’ll break down each interview format, share essential strategies and tips, and host live breakout rooms with mentors so you can practice real interview scenarios and receive real-time feedback.
