You must come to your interview prepared with questions for the interviewers on the dental school program you are interviewing with and the university itself. Having prepared questions shows the interview panel that you are keenly interested in what they do at this university and how it will prepare you for success in your future in practice.

"I would love to learn more about this university from your perspective. What do you feel is the biggest competitive edge this school has over its competitors? I'd also love to hear about any famed alumni from this program and how your dental school prepared them for future success."

Remember that people like to talk about what they know! Having insightful questions prepared sets the stage for the interviewers to tell you many important and helpful details about their process and educational facility. Keep the majority of your question academically related. Asking too much about the culture, social life, and extra-curricular activities may cause you to appear unfocused.
