Dental School Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I went through the dental school application process just 2 years ago and was admitted to 10+ dental schools across the U.S., so I understand firsthand how exciting (and challenging) this journey can be! Whether you’re looking for mock interview practice, guidance on school selection, or a full application review, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I have extensive experience with essay writing and love helping pre-dental students craft unique, compelling personal statements and secondary essays through brainstorming and editing sessions. My goal is to make this process a little less overwhelming and help you get one step closer to your dream of becoming a dentist!

As a Harvard-educated dentist and former member of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine admissions committee, I have a deep, first-hand understanding of what it takes to be selected by the world’s most competitive dental school. I have evaluated tens of applications and understand not only the academic standards, but also the less visible qualities - intellectual curiosity, leadership, maturity, and purpose - that truly distinguish successful candidates. As an international applicant myself, I personally navigated the unique challenges of the global admissions process, from credential evaluation to positioning one’s experiences within a U.S. academic framework. I have since guided other international and domestic applicants through this same rigorous pathway, helping them present compelling, authentic applications that resonate with elite admissions committees. My insight comes from both sides of the table: as an applicant who succeeded and as an evaluator entrusted with selecting the next generation of dental leaders.
