The interviewers at Western University School of Dental Medicine want to know how your undergraduate program has prepared you for attending dental school.

"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 included organic chemistry and physics. I had to work extra hard in the advanced English composition course required for my degree. I continue to work on my clear writing skills as I know they're important as a dentist in practice."
"The basic sciences are the core courses for any pre-dental student, and my GPA shows that I am well above average in my ability to excel in these courses. However, you will see that my liberal arts courses have taken a back seat concerning my GPA because I prioritized my basic science courses."
