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.

From a Dental School Reapplicant to a Dental Residency Top Candidate

As an undergraduate student, I was rejected from 20+ dental schools because I lacked guidance on the application process. However, with an unwavering desire to become a dentist, I pursued a Master’s in Dental Sciences. During this time, I seized the opportunity to redeem myself—improving my GPA, building strong connections for personal recommendation letters, enhancing my personal statement and supplemental application writing skills, and gaining more clinical, research, leadership, and volunteering experiences. The second time I applied to dental school, despite my efforts, I received only one interview. However, I successfully navigated the interview and was accepted. In my third year of dental school, I decided to specialize in periodontology. When applying for residency, I applied to only three programs, interviewed at all three, ranked only my top choice—and still matched! I share my story because I want to show you that it is possible to go from being a 3.2 GPA international (Canadian) student with zero extracurricular experiences to confidently matching into my top-choice specialty residency program (with a <1.5% match rate). I've faced the same obstacles that many of you will encounter, and I’ve learned how to overcome them. With the momentum I've built through my pre-doctoral school experience, I've also understand what it takes to stay ahead of the curve and maintain a competitive standing for residency applications. Over the years, I’ve helped dozens of students with dental school and residency applications and interviews. Whatever your needs may be, I hope to serve as a beacon of light, guiding you through this exciting yet challenging (and often confusing) stage of your academic journey!
