During my 3rd and 4th years of college, COVID-19 years, I engaged in countless hours of shadowing, service, and studying for the DAT. Additionally, my wife and I were lucky to have a child born two months before finals in the second to last semester of our undergraduate studies. With my wife’s support, I was able to surpass my goal on the DAT and we both graduated from BYU-Provo within 4 years of starting. I applied to 12 dental schools, interviewed at six, and was accepted and offered a position at all six schools beginning in the fall of 2022. I am currently a first-year dental student attending the University of Utah School of Dentistry. I have founded a Public Health Club and am a member of the Pediatrics and Business clubs among participating in a handful of others. Additionally, I am currently working on becoming an AHEC Scholar and am working to figure out a schedule to graduate with a dual degree MPH/DDS with the Dean of my school.

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.

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.
