Dental School Admissions Coaches

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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!
