Package Description:

Set yourself up for long-term success by getting expert help in the early stages of your dental school application process. This flexible package helps you focus on what's most important, right now — without committing to a start-to-finish engagement. You’ll partner with a Leland coach to strategically tackle the parts of the process that will have the greatest impact. Your coach will help you prioritize your time, identify key areas of opportunity, and build momentum toward your target schools. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: 1. Creating an Application Plan: Dive into your background, professional and personal experiences, dream schools, career aspirations, and more. Together, you and your coach will develop a customized plan specifically tailored to your dental school application journey. 2. School Selection: Collaborate closely with your coach to compile a list of optimal dental schools that align with your profile, aspirations, and preferences. 3. Application Strategy: Your coach will help you identify your unique strengths and advantages as an applicant and plan how to effectively showcase those strengths throughout your dental school application. If you're concerned about any part of your application profile, like your DAT score or GPA, your coach will help you develop an application that proactively addresses these areas and effectively spotlights your strengths. 4. Personal Statement Brainstorming, Advising & Editing: Get expert guidance and feedback from your coach on your personal statement. Find confidence in a narrative that effectively highlights your motivations, experiences, and aspirations. 5. Activity Descriptions: Work closely with your coach to decide which extracurricular activities, experiences, awards, and honors to include and how to describe them in a way that fits your application's broader narrative. 6. Letters of Recommendation: Strategize with your coach about choosing potential recommenders, making recommendation requests, and supporting recommenders so you can be sure you're getting strong letters of recommendation. 8. Secondaries Advising & Editing: Understand exactly what each school is looking for in their secondaries and get personalized advising support from your coach. This package is ideal for applicants who want high-leverage support early in the process. It’s your launchpad to a stronger, more intentional dental school application — guided by world-class admissions coaches.

Harvard Dental Student and Student Admissions Committee Member

I would make a strong coach for students applying to dental school because I understand the admissions process from both the applicant and evaluator perspectives. As a member of the student admissions committee at HSDM, I have reviewed applications, interviewed candidates, and participated in discussions regarding admissions decisions. This experience has given me insight into what distinguishes strong applicants beyond grades and test scores—such as clarity of motivation, professionalism, depth of experience, and the ability to reflect meaningfully. In addition, through two years of mentoring pre-dental students one-on-one and delivering presentations on the application process, I have helped students translate their experiences into compelling narratives and approach interviews with confidence. I am able to provide honest, strategic guidance grounded in firsthand knowledge of how admissions committees think and evaluate candidates.
