If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

If you get thrown curveball questions or scenarios like this during your multiple mini interview that you have not prepared for, there is no need to fret or be nervous. Just relax, be yourself, and give a fun and memorable answer.

Pick a superpower that you think best fits your personality and your goals. As you describe why you would love to have this particular superpower, highlight how you would do great things for yourself and others with the power. Since you'll have around six to eight minutes to respond to this question, make your answer memorable. Remember, your interviewer will be hearing unique responses from every candidate the dental school is considering for admission, and you want them to remember yours.

"Wow, this is a great question! I'm torn between flight and the ability to teleport. I think I have to go with teleportation as my superpower. Over the last four years of my undergraduate program, I've been four hours away from family, and driving home to be with my parents and siblings was tough. Being able to teleport would have kept me much closer to family, and I could have saved eight hours of travel time every time I wanted to see them. It would have also allowed me to drop in for random dinners or events that just weren't worth the drive. As someone who hopes to travel around the world as a dentist, I can't help but think of how much more efficient I could be with saved travel time. And to cap it all off, as a huge sports fan, I could certainly drop into sporting events around the world at the snap of a finger if I had the time."
