Dental school application help: Essay editing, interview prep, advising
I'm a second-year periodontics resident at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry, and I was accepted into every dental school I applied to — including my top choice. As the first person in my family to pursue dentistry, I built my own roadmap through the application process, from AADSAS and TMDSAS to interviews and secondary essays, without a mentor to guide me. That experience is exactly why I do this now: I know what the process looks like from the applicant's side, and I know what it takes to stand out. Beyond my own admissions track record, I bring a clinician's perspective that most application coaches don't have. During dental school, I served as president of several student organizations and received multiple scholarships and awards, and I matched into a highly competitive periodontics residency. I've spent years advising pre-dental students on everything from personal statements and secondary essays to interview prep, and I understand not just what makes an application compelling on paper, but what dental schools are actually looking for in a future clinician. I'm here to help you build the same kind of application — one that reflects both who you are and who you're becoming.
