The greater your academic performance, the better the university's metrics will be. For this reason, the interviewers want to choose dental school students who will be diligent in their studies and perform well on exams. Perhaps you create your own study aids. Maybe you prefer to prepare for exams in a group setting. Perhaps you have a photographic memory or a parent who is a professor or a dentist. Whatever your approach or the resources you lean on, take the time to walk the interviewers through your process with as much detail as possible. You want to give them to share the confidence you have in your abilities.

"I am a well-organized student and have created a plan that works well for me. When I prepare for an exam, I map out the content I need to learn and divide that content over the number of days I have available to prepare. When I create a study calendar, I leave the final three days leading up to the exam to review the entire library of content. I am a big fan of study aids, as I believe they work much better than simply reading and re-reading the materials. Aids such as flashcards are also much more helpful than highlighting my notes. I also create practice problems and, when possible, will pair up with a fellow student to test each other in written form or verbal lightning rounds. My approach has been successful so far, as reflected in my overall GPA."
