Dental School Admissions Coaches

I provide comprehensive guidance through the dental school application process including personal statement and supplemental essay editing, interview prep, and resume development.

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!

My name is Bryan Chai, and I am living proof that persistence, preparation, and the right strategy can lead to success in the competitive world of dental school admissions. I have been through the ups and downs of the application process—not once, but twice. After facing rejection in my first cycle, I completely transformed my approach and was successfully admitted to three dental schools in the 2024-2025 cycle while balancing the rigorous demands of a Master of Biomedical Science program at Roseman University. I know what it takes to stand out and succeed. Every pre-dental student’s journey is different. If you are struggling with the DAT, unsure how to present extracurriculars, or nervous about interviews, I will work with you one-on-one to create a plan that maximizes your chances of success!

As a proud member of the Matthew Cryer Honor Society at Penn Dental, I graduated among the top 10 students in my class, demonstrating my commitment to academic excellence and dedication to the field of dentistry.

I have a lot of personal experience with dental school admissions and am very qualified to help pre-dental applicants with every step of the process. I received a top score on the DAT in 2024, and can provide students with advice and study strategies for the exam. For interviews, I can offer live practice sessions, a list of questions to prepare, and assistance with formulating responses. Additionally, I will provide templates for letters of intent/interest on request as well as editing services for letters, personal statements, and supplemental application responses. I am also happy to answer any questions about my experience and provide counseling on dental shadowing hours, volunteering, and other application requirements.

I have been mentored by and mentored many students throughout my pre-dental journey. I have helped students study for all sections of the DAT and understand everything needed to apply and be accepted to dental school.

I think one way to develop into a great coach is having completed the pathway before. Having gone through the process of undergraduate preparation for taking the DAT, applying to dental school, interviewing, getting accepted, and then doing well in school to get into an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program. I hope to share this with others!

I am a current dental student at Roseman University - Utah. Before dental school, I graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Biology and minor in Public Health, earning Magna Cum Laude Honors. I also began pursuing a Master of Public Health with a Dental Emphasis from A.T. Still University. I have been tutoring for over five years, helping high school and college students in subjects including Chemistry, Biology, Math, College Algebra, and English. My teaching style brings a patient and thorough approach to make the learning experience understandable and enjoyable! As someone who recently went through the dental school application process myself, I understand the challenges that come with this journey. I want to utilize the skills and knowledge I gained to support pre-dental students and help them get admitted to their top-choice for dental school! I coach because I want to make the dental school application process as comfortable as possible for pre-dental students. I understand the challenges of being a student - juggling between coursework, studying for the DAT, engaging in extracurriculars, and needing to be a well-rounded student, all while preparing dental school applications. When I went through this process, having mentors guide me along the way helped me gain the confidence I needed to succeed. I want to coach other students to pass on the knowledge I gained from my own journey to support those who are in the position that I was once in. Being a coach allows me to combine previous tutoring experiences with my passion of helping students in need. I strive to provide a broadened educational experience to my students, which is geared towards allowing pre-dental students to achieve their goals. Seeing students grow in their respective journeys is the most rewarding part of what I do.
