Dental School Interview Preparation — Practice with Confidence
Prepare for your dental school interviews with personalized coaching from a former University of Western Ontario Dental School Admissions Committee member with more than 30 years of experience in dentistry, education and mentoring. This package is designed to help applicants communicate confidently, organize their responses and demonstrate their motivation, professionalism and readiness for dental education. Your package includes: An initial assessment of your interview experience, target programs and areas of concern. Preparation for common dental school interview questions, including motivation for dentistry, personal experiences, ethical reasoning, communication and professionalism. Guidance on structured responses for traditional interviews and Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) scenarios. One 60-minute interview preparation session. One 60-minute simulated interview incorporating traditional and MMI-style questions. One 60-minute feedback and improvement session, including a targeted follow-up practice exercise. What you'll receive: Three hours of individual interview preparation and coaching. A simulated dental school interview experience. Personalized feedback on communication, response structure, reasoning and professionalism. Practical recommendations for improving interview performance. An individualized preparation plan for continued practice. The objective is to help you communicate your own experiences and perspectives effectively, rather than memorize scripted answers. Interview coaching does not guarantee an interview invitation, admission or a particular admissions outcome.
What's included
My coaching approach draws on my experience participating in dental school admissions decisions and more than 30 years of clinical, academic and professional mentoring. We begin by discussing your target dental schools, interview format, previous experience and areas where you would like to improve. Through individual coaching, simulated interview questions and structured feedback, I help you develop clearer responses, stronger communication skills and greater confidence. Our sessions focus on authentic answers, ethical reasoning, professional judgment and the ability to communicate effectively under interview conditions. You will leave with individualized feedback and a practical plan for continued preparation.
- Greater confidence and preparation for traditional dental school interviews and MMI-style scenarios.
- Personalized feedback on your communication, reasoning, professionalism and interview responses.

Alan K.
Former Dental Admissions Committee Member | Dentist, Educator & Mentor
I am a dentist, clinician-scientist, educator, and healthcare leader with more than 30 years of experience in clinical dentistry, dental education, research, mentoring, and healthcare innovation. I work with aspiring dental students to help them understand both the admissions process and the profession they are preparing to enter. My approach is practical, supportive, and individualized. I help students identify the experiences and qualities that genuinely differentiate them, communicate their story clearly and authentically, and approach applications and interviews with greater confidence and purpose. Having worked with future dentists from the pre-dental stage through dental school and into postgraduate clinical training, I can also provide perspective that extends beyond simply getting accepted. I want students to understand what makes a strong applicant, what dental school will demand of them, and how the choices they make now can contribute to a rewarding career in dentistry.
