QUESTION 20 OF 40

How does your family feel about you attending dental school? Do you have a strong support system?

The interviewers want to know that if you were accepted into Western University School of Dental Medicine, you would have the support required for your heavy and challenging dental school workload. They know that the next four years will be the most stressful years of any student's life up to this point, and they want to ensure that you would have the emotional support of your loved ones during your time with their program.

"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending dental school. My father is especially keen as he has been a dentist in practice for almost 25 years and speaks very highly of your institution. Both of my parents, as well as my older brother, live in the area. I will have a robust and encouraging support system should I be accepted into Western University School of Dental Medicine."

Discuss your support system and how your family and friends express their excitement for your career. Make sure to mention that you've had the conversation about the support you'll need and that your family is supportive. If anyone close to you has been through dental school, talk about how you saw this support system firsthand.
