Before your dental school interview process, put some thought into some examples of times you've shown passion, dedication, and desire in your past, and come to your interview prepared to talk about one of those times. Ensure that your example proves your passion and desire and how you translated that into a win or success. Any way you answer, ensure that your interviewers walk away from your time together knowing that you are a passionate and dedicated future dental student.

"I pride myself on my ability to give anything I set out to do my entire mind, heart, and soul. This value was instilled in me by my father at a very young age. Growing up in Scouts, FBLA, and other organizations, my passion for my hobbies grew. During my undergraduate program, I took the initiative to reach out to and shadow three different dentists from my hometown over the summer and holiday breaks. Knowing that dental school was in my future, I wanted to begin to learn the day-to-day work of a dentist to begin pursuing this dream."
