This is by far the best dental school interview advise on KZbin!!! You are such a joy to watch and an inspiration. I want to be a dentist, so these videos are super helpful!! Could you do a video about how support your family and friends were of your goal to become a Denist? Thanks!!!! Gabrielle

[@LauraSmiles]

[@cantucesar23]

Thank you for this video! I’m applying this year and this was very informative. P.s. you guys could me models lol

[@makimberleybernales3799]

Hi Laura! How did you ask for the names and business cards of the interviewers? I have my interview with UW on Nov 9th!

[@H1TMANactual]

All you have to do is tell them you floss and that flossing is very important, and you'll get it. I know a girl who had a 2.2 GPA and still got in because she said that.

[@hinalkanphade5704]

Is that a sarcasm?

[@ivyzheng9077]

HI Laura I was just wondering what happens if you dont know how to answer the question and tips? My inteview is going to be an MMI, so I'm quite nervous since you said you cant really prepare for that one. Any tips would help!!! Thankyou for your amazing videos they actuallt help alot !!!!

[@tiffany3254]

[@jamespham2403]

Great song choice

[@LauraSmiles]

Thanks!

[@TylerPDay]

Hey James!!! Whats up buddy?

[@tulsipatel9670]

if you dont mind me asking, what were your stats?

[@dilshodkarimov8378]

I really love the way you break down everything, I'm 24 years old student in nursing school, thinking about transitioning to dental school after getting my Registered Nurse licence (in order to work and study while I'll be in dental school) I wanna work as home visit rn (once/twice a week or part time) do you think that I'll be able to work and study? Will it be the wise decision?

[@1silverwhisper8]

From what I know people advise against working while in dental school.

[@kaelynnkendrick7381]

I know this video is so old but I do have some questions! In your opinion when they ask where you see yourself in x amount of years do you think mentioning a speciality program in the future inappropriate? What type of case studies did you have to look at and is there a resource you used to look at some yourself? One more questions I’m so sorry to be annoying! But do you think social media platforms make or break getting into a program or even an interview? By that I mean the things you share, post or repost?

[@LauraSmiles]

1. I think that mentioning a specialty program in the future is appropriate, for sure! 2. The studies that I encountered were simple scenarios! I didn't look up any beforehand so I'm not sure about resources. I'm sure there are examples on Google! 3. I would be cautious about what you post on social media because you never know who might see it!

[@amymeg2951]

Hi! What do you mean by "hot topics in general dentistry"?

[@riccardosamuelbero1373]

Hi ms laura! May i know which area are u in?

[@meelanrahimi6503]

😘

[@emilia8614]

Please link the outfits, I love the ideas, I would like to know where you can get them or similar ones at least, great video!

[@bdulrhman5412]

funny how Laura said, 'we are not models' defo models haha!

[@dikshyakandel6427]

how much does the semesters cost ? is that really expensive ? your are doing great love you 😘 😍

[@LauraSmiles]

All dental schools are expensive! I'm paying around $65k for my first year

[@dikshyakandel6427]

thanks for your reply .. I appreciate it .. i really want to make sure about the cost because i m planing to join dental school too :) ..

[@manuelaT2192]

Hey, Laura! So, I have maybe a little bit of a confusing question, haha. I was curious about some things that people should look for or ask about when they are interviewing at a school. I know the location, class size, and curriculum are some of the more important things to ask about, but with your experience with already being in dental school, are there some more specific things that you may be realized are important to know about before accepting an offer? I hope that made sense! I appreciate your insight!

[@mikehieupham]

Why do you all look like models? Were you guys chosen based on looks? LOL

[@blushark8385]

bruh this just common sense
