Jessica’s Dental School Qualifications

Jessica has helped clients get into these schools:

Welcome to my profile! As a current second year dental student at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, I bring firsthand experience and insights into the dental school admissions process. I graduated from the University of the Pacific in 3 years with a 4.0 GPA and summa cum laude in my major of Biology and minor of Business Management. My DAT score was in the 99th percentile (26 AA, 25 TS, 26 Biology). I was accepted into Columbia, UOP, and UPenn, and know many students at these schools. I would love to provide my insight and mentorships about the application process and what current students experience at these dental schools. Not only have I helped many of my peers edit their dental and college essays, but I can also provide one-on-one interview advice and practice. My diverse roles, from serving as a Dental Assistant to leading initiatives with organizations like Operation Smile and Dental Shadowers, have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the dental profession. I have successfully coached aspiring dental students, helping them navigate their applications and interviews. If you're looking to strengthen your dental school application and gain a competitive edge, feel free to reach out!
