"Before the bootcamp, I was unsure about how to best highlight my strengths and experiences in my application. Now, I feel much more prepared. I’ve learned how to refine my personal statement and tailor it to reflect experiences and goals. It also provided insights into what admissions committees are looking for, and I gained a clearer understanding of how to articulate my extracurricular activities, shadowing experiences, and volunteer work. The mock interviews with my peers allowed me to practice answering tough questions and obtain constructive feedback on how to improve my communication skills. Overall, bootcamp has allowed me to approach dental school application with a much clearer sense of direction."
Meghan, Spring '25 Cohort"The Dental School Application Bootcamp helped me understand the online application portal, including its different sections and the ability to update experiences after submission. I also learned how to craft a strong personal statement, which I had been struggling with. Additionally, the guidance on the interview process was very informative and gave me a clearer idea of what to expect."

Anyone serious about getting into an excellent dental school. We do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible to navigate this competitive and complex application process.
The earlier you are, the more time you have to prepare. The number one mistake that applicants make is not giving themselves enough time to strengthen their application. This bootcamp is a great way to avoid that and make sure you're starting off on the right foot.
This bootcamp is designed to fully equip you for acceptance to a top dental school. By the end of the 6 sessions, you will:
- have a clear idea of the best narrative and app strategy for your background and goals.
- know who to select for your recommenders and have completed a polished recommender prep doc.
- have an outline for your secondary essays and have started drafting them for multiple schools.
- understand how to ace your dental school interviews with live prep sessions and custom feedback.
- feel comfortable navigating your target schools' specific applications.
- ... and more!
The curriculum also includes custom assignments and personalized interactive activities for maximum impact. Dental schools are competitive, but this bootcamp will give you all the tools you need to stand out.
The bootcamp is beneficial for both people with and without a dental school admissions coach.
If you don’t have a coach, this course will give you a strong foundation that you can build on with a coach after the bootcamp or on your own. You’ll hear from multiple expert coaches, and make meaningful progress on every part of the application. If you do have a coach, this course will give you a structured learning experience and diverse suite of perspectives, as well as custom activities that you can then take to the next level with your coach.
If you'd like coaching but aren't sure where to start, get a custom coach match.
Yes. We offer a live version yearly, but have collected the recordings of our most recent live cohort for those who want to spend time during low-stress times (summers, etc.) to get a head start on their applications. Since there is often more time to prep during holidays, breaks, and the like, we want to give you flexibility and help you reach your goals, regardless of when you want to start.
