They key at the interview will be to appear stable and mature and well-spoken. So don't mention TFP
. J/K.
Seriously, your grades and board scores got you the interview. They already like you. Unfortunately there are many weirdos and people who can't put together 2 sentences in dentistry and so the field as a whole is lacking young articulate people. Show them that you fit the bill. You may not have the absolute best answers, but the delivery is just as, if not more, important.
That being said, expect the usual questions such as "what is your biggest fault?", "what are you most proud of?", etc. Speak confidently, but do NOT be cocky.
As for your own questions, I always (in dental school and grad school interviews) use a two-part question: "what do you like best about the program?" and "what do you think can be improved in the program and how are you planning on doing that?" It shows that you are interviewing them too, that they still have to sell the school to you. It also gets them talking about things they like and everyone enjoys talking about things they like.
Relax, and don't be afraid to make them laugh. Good luck! Which schools, btw?
