Throughout your four years of dental school, you will be subjected to grueling hours of classroom lectures, dental labs, and direct patient care. You will work very closely with the faculty of the program to hone your skills as a future dentist. Your interviewers need to know that you will be able to take constructive criticism with an open ear and a positive attitude, willing to learn and grow.

Tell your interviewers that you plan to come into dental school with a positive attitude and a growth mindset and that you are ready and willing to take any constructive feedback on your skills. To reiterate your answer, talk about times you've taken feedback on your work or classwork in the past and used that feedback to grow, learn, and change in a positive manner moving forward.

"I would come to your program with the full understanding that my classroom work and patient care techniques need to be honed and mastered during my four years here, and I would consider it an honor to learn from your world-class faculty. When the time comes for me to get some hard feedback, I will use it as a learning opportunity to reflect on what I did and learn moving forward."
