Hi,

I applied to both TCD and UCC last year. I got into TCD, but no interview for UCC.

Can you share your interview experience with TCD please

It was quite relaxed, I was asked general questions (why dentistry, what do I know about the course, why would I be a good person to choose, what skills I have, times where I excelled etc) It seemed like they wanted to know that I understood the commitment and effort dentistry takes. They asked me maybe a few more general questions about Trinity and where I see myself in 5years, what type of dentist I might like to be. It was all very general from what I remember.

It was also over Zoom and I have heard that UCC is in person.

Thanks for all the info. Yes, my interview will be in person in UCC. I put UCC as first choice, not heard anything yet from Trinity. Presume you put Trinity as your first choice.

Can I ask how is life at TCD, what time lectures start and what time normal day ends, asking just because I have a daughter of 3 years and just worried about managing things
