This package is for aspiring dental school candidates looking to get into their dream school with support from a seasoned coach. Get expert help throughout the entire application process, from start to finish — personal statements, recommendations, secondaries, activities lists, and more. Here's a full overview of what this package includes: 1. Personalized Coach Matching: After enrolling, you'll complete a detailed survey and be matched to the perfect coach for your target dental schools and individual goals. 2. Initial Kickoff and Planning Session: Following the coach pairing, kick off the process by diving 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. 3. School Selection: Collaborate closely with your coach to compile a list of optimal dental schools that align with your profile, aspirations, and preferences. 4. 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. 5. Personal Statement Brainstorming, Advising & Editing: Get expert guidance and feedback from your coach as you plan, draft, and edit your personal statement. Feel confident that your narrative effectively highlights your motivations, experiences, and aspirations. 6. 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. 7. 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. Complete Application Review: Your coach will conduct a meticulous review and give you feedback on all your application materials. When everything is ready, submit your application with total confidence. 7. Secondary Essays Advising & Editing: Craft your secondary essays with personalized advising and editing support from your coach, ensuring they align seamlessly with each dental school's specific requirements and ethos (up to 4 revisions per essay). 8. Interview Coaching: Prepare thoroughly for dental school interviews through mock interview sessions conducted by your coach, equipping you with the skills and practice you'll need to ace the interview. Roleplay difficult-to-answer questions and conduct one full mock interview per school. 9. Supplemental Support Strategy: Develop a strategic plan for networking and securing supplemental letters of support to bolster your application, where applicable. 10. Final Review: Your coach will conduct a comprehensive review and provide final edits on all application materials to ensure they are polished and aligned with your overall narrative and objectives. 11. Waitlist Strategy (if applicable): If you're waitlisted, your coach will guide you to develop a targeted action plan to optimize your chances of getting in off the waitlist. Applying to dental school can be stressful and competitive — with this package, you're drafting a world-class coach onto your team to help you with every step of this process. They'll support you constantly, share honest/constructive feedback freely, and keep you on the right track. If for any reason it becomes clear that your coach is not the right fit, we'll help you find another coach that can help you get to the finish line successfully.

She obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from The University of Texas at Austin. She then went on to attend Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health where she earned a DMD as well as a certificate in Public Health. Dr. Allan is delighted to have the opportunity to give back by helping students achieve their dream of becoming a dentist. Dr. Allan's dental journey began in Austin, Texas. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Biology. She discovered her predilection for advising while working as a Sexual Health Peer Advisor where she counseled students and answered their questions regarding reproductive health. Following dental school, Dr. Allan moved to Louisville, Kentucky where she worked for one year as a general dentist at a local family practice. She quickly realized she enjoyed working with children and adolescents which led her to pursue a pediatric dental residency and earn a Master of Science in Dentistry and Pediatric Dental Certificate at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. During her time at U of L, Dr. Allan received extensive training in pediatric conscious oral sedation, treatment of children with special needs, behavior management, and hospital dentistry. While in residency, she was an active participant in the admissions process and helped conduct interviews, review applications, and rank candidates. This experience allowed Dr. Allan to gain an insider perspective and understanding of the admissions process. Always striving to stay on top of new innovations, she recently achieved Solea Dental Laser certification. She is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Texas Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the American Dental Association. Dr. Allan chose to pursue admissions counseling because she finds coaching students to be rewarding and fulfilling. Having gone through the process herself, she understands all too well the rigors of the dental school and residency application process. She remembers how lonely the journey often was and wants to make it less intimidating and daunting for others by setting them up for success. She has thoroughly enjoyed her life as a pediatric dentist thus far and wants to share this wonderful career with others by helping them gain acceptance into dental school. As an admissions consultant, Dr. Allan’s unique approach involves starting off by putting the applicant at ease as their frame of mind is tantamount to achieving their goals. She places a strong emphasis on getting to know her students and identifying their unique attributes.

She will help applicants stay organized and tackle the journey one step at a time. As a seasoned pediatric dentist, Dr. Allan can answer questions that relate to clinical practice and offer her personal experiences and anecdotes to help students grasp the day-to-day life of a dentist.
