The national attrition rate for dental students is around 7%, and dental students withdraw from their programs for both personal and academic reasons. Your interviewers want assurance from the students applying for their program that they can manage the common stressors of dental school healthily and productively.

This is a good chance for you to give your interviewing team some insight into your life and personality by talking about the things that you like to do to relax. This can include any hobbies or interests you have aside from academics and dentistry. Don't hesitate to talk about the techniques you use to keep stress on the job and in your schoolwork from keeping you down.

"I am confident that I would successfully handle the huge academic, lab, and clinical load over the next four years. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and health nut. I find that exercising regularly and taking time for hikes or biking trips keep my body in great physical shape and my mind in a good spot. While I know that I would have less time to take part in these activities during dental school, I would prioritize them during any free time I might have."
