Dental School Week is here—and this kickoff session sets the stage for a week focused on navigating the dental school admissions process with confidence. Join us for an opening event designed to introduce the week’s themes and help you make the most of the events ahead. In this session, we’ll preview upcoming workshops, share how to approach the application journey strategically, and discuss what it takes to build a strong dental school application. Whether you’re early in the process or preparing for an upcoming cycle, this kickoff will help you start the week with clarity and momentum.

Anatomy of a Standout Dental School Personal Statement

Writing a dental school personal statement that actually sounds like you—while still hitting the themes admissions committees care about—is harder than most applicants expect. This session is for pre-dental students who want to understand what separates a compelling personal statement from one that reads like every other application. You'll leave knowing how to structure your narrative arc, how to weave in clinical experiences without listing them, and how to convey genuine motivation for dentistry in a way that feels specific rather than generic.
