The interviewers at Nova Southeastern University's College of Dental Medicine want to know more about how your undergraduate program has prepared you for dental school at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. Since they'll have access to your official transcripts during your application and interview process, they need to hear you talk in more detail about your successes and potential failures during your undergrad program.

"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my graduate program. My best courses have always been in the sciences and math, which continued during my program. I can improve my time management. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study time suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement moving forward."

"The basic sciences are the core courses for any pre-dental student, and I have shown in my GPA that I am well above average in my ability to excel in these courses. However, because I have spent so much time on those courses, you will see that my liberal arts courses have taken a back seat concerning my GPA."

Discuss what interested you the most and where you had the biggest challenges during your undergrad training. While attending undergraduate studies, you also likely learned some core skills that would be transferable to your time at the Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. Some of these soft skills can include great time management, excellent writing skills, public speaking skills, being an independent learner, and a great base in academic research.
