cadpredent Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Did anyone else get an invite for the interviews on Nov 20/27th? Nervous as it’s not a lot of time to prepare!! Anyone have any feedback if they already did an interview w UBC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance_dental Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 I just got the email! I’m honestly so shocked. I have a terrible GPA so I thought I had zero chance. I have no clue how to prepare though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmdd2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 You can't really prepare for it because their questions are really random and nothing like US dental school interviews. They just want to know your personality and insist on not faking it because they care about the class dynamics. So, if your personality is not the type they are looking for, then probably it is for your own interest not to attend that school for 4 long years. Just relax and be yourself Bambi and gpds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance_dental Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Thanks, that’s really good advice. Do you know if it’s a closed or open file interview? I guess i’ll just review my application over and over so I stay consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 You received excellent advice! Just be your authentic self, letting your personality shine. Should you be asked "Tell me about yourself", be prepared to describe your interests, why you are passionate about this profession, what led you to dentistry, the challenges you have overcome, your development that prepares you for the study of dentistry, and any hobbies and experiences that highlight whom you are. Just relax and be yourself! Shae94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance_dental Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think you can get an interview invite up to the day before (aka this Friday) the interviews this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe after the initial round of invites is sent out, they will only send out more if people decline their interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be less this year because when I interviewed in September, there were already 70-80 people. UBC has a 2:1 ratio of Interview:seats so I think there should only be 40 people perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
