The results of the interview are an important aspect of the application. We also consider your confidential evaluation references (forms provided in the application package). These serve as references from instructors, employers or others in support of the application. The Admissions Committee considers the Dental Aptitude Test, and you should try to achieve scores of 15 or better in each category of the DAT. The Admissions Committee will review your statement of work activities, volunteer activities, awards and community service.

Volunteer work is important for you to gain the interpersonal skills necessary when working with people. Your volunteer work can be any type that interests you and enables you to work with groups and/or individuals (e.g. working in a nursing home, a health care facility, coaching teams, summer camp counsellor, etc.). Experience you gain in your volunteer and employment activities is valuable when responding to questions on the interview.

The interview is designed to assess personal qualities, such as integrity, communication skills and conscientiousness. It is a structured interview (all applicants are asked the same type of questions). Two dentists will interview you. The interview takes about 40 minutes and is conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, usually on a Saturday in March or April.
