The only consolidated database of dental school interview formats by school — MMI, traditional, panel, Kira, and hybrid. Updated for 2026–2027. return ( The most searched dental school interview question after "what will they ask me?" is "what format will it be in?" And for good reason — a traditional one-on-one faculty conversation and an MMI with eight timed stations require completely different preparation strategies. Preparing for the wrong format is not just wasted time; it actively produces the wrong habits. The problem is that this information doesn't exist anywhere in consolidated form. SDN threads from 2015 and 2018 have partial data, most of it now stale. Individual school websites describe their formats inconsistently — some with detail, most with vague language like "interviews are conducted by the admissions committee." And formats change: schools that used traditional interviews in 2021 may have added Kira in 2024 or MMI

components in 2025. This guide is the consolidated reference. Every major dental school's interview format in one place, organized by format type, with school-specific detail where it matters most. <CalloutBox variant=" }; export default DentalSchoolInterviewFormats;
