QUESTION 13 OF 40

What research did you conduct on our school before choosing to apply to Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine?

Throughout your interview process, your interviewers will try to determine if their program is as much of a fit for you as you are a match for them. With this question, your interviewers want to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine.

"I researched several dental schools before applying to Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. I started by interviewing a recent alumnus and spoke with a couple of students currently in the dentistry program. Last year, I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me, which is why I chose to apply here."

Remember that your interviewers do not want to hear that you blindly sent out a bunch of applications, hoping that something would stick. They need to hear that you reflected on what you are ultimately desiring in a dental school and did your research on Nova Southeastern University. Openly share with the interviewers the consideration you put into your application. Some research methods you could discuss include talking to Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine alumni, attending an open house at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine, conducting extensive online research, or attending an open house at the university.
