Hey all,
I have a few interviews coming up and was wondering about how long your responses should be to the questions they ask? I know ad coms. are looking for conciseness and clarity, so i've been timing my responses to questions like "Why dentistry?" and "Why our school?" and I consistently get around 2-2:30 minutes for these responses. Is that considered long? I had a committee/mock interview a few weeks ago and some of the feed back they gave me was to shorten my responses, but I feel like if I do, the impact of my stories will be diminished because I have to leave something out. Do yall think its okay to go long on key questions like "why dentistry?" while keeping it short and concise for others? Any opinions? Thanks.
