The Office of Admissions & Outreach hopes this website will serve as a resource for you to gain additional insight into the interview process and learn more about our school and campus life. We wish you the best of luck during the admissions process! If you have any questions please email admissions.ucsfdental@ucsf.edu. Content Interview Format Applicants will participate in 2 interviews which will be evaluated by members of the Admissions Committee. Your interview will be evaluated on four competencies: 1. Motivation, 2. Self-Awareness, 3. Problem Solving / Critical Thinking, 4. Collaboration / Teamwork / Leadership. The interview reviewer will not have access to your written application. Faculty Interview: you will participate in a one-on-one interview with a faculty member via zoom on the date/time you select. Please refer to the email sent to you on how to sign up for your faculty interview. Student Interview: you will participate in a one-on-one in person interview with a current student on the UCSF Campus. In addition to your student interview, you will engage with the following on campus: campus tour, 30 min writing exercise, and lunch with student club leaders. If you are unable to attend in person, the Office of Admissions & Outreach is offering a few virtual interview dates for applicants to have a zoom interview with a student and participate in a 30 min writing exercise. NOTE: Please be aware that you'll have to complete a faculty interview and attend an in-person or zoom session for your student interview in order to move forward in the review process. If you miss either interview, we will assume you are no longer interested and will remove your application from further consideration. Webinars Want to learn more about UCSF School of Dentistry?
