What questions do you have for us about our school?

Arrive at your interview prepared with questions for your interviewers at the New York University College of Dentistry. Preparing questions suggests that you are always asking questions, eager to learn, and self-guided in your studies. It also speaks to your personality. This interview isn't all about you; it is also about this school and what they have to offer. Show courtesy by giving them the chance to share what they do and what makes them great.

Having a few thoughtful questions prepared shows the panel you are keenly interested in the experiences New York University College of Dentistry will offer you as a student and future alumnus/alumnae. Keep the majority of your questions academically related. Asking too much about the culture, social life, and extra-curricular activities may cause you to appear unfocused.

If you don't know what questions to ask, ask about the less obvious. For example, a question you'll face is, 'I've read your application and letter. Tell me something I wouldn't know by reading these.' You could similarly ask, "I've thoroughly read over your website, literature, and brochures. What can you tell me about NYDU that I wouldn't know from the research I've performed?'

Here are some other question examples:

- If you could give me any piece of advice, what would that be?

- Is there anything in my application or anything I said in today's interview that I could clarify for you?

- What is the most important thing I should know about my first week at the New York University College of Dentistry?

- Can you tell me about some exciting opportunities I could take advantage of should I attend the New York University College of Dentistry?

- What do you feel is a unique offering at New York University College of Dentistry compared to other schools in the area?
