Hi, I'm Chi! As a current DMD student at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, I know what it takes to stand out in a competitive dental school applicant pool—I was accepted to every dental school I applied to, including all three Ivy League dental schools. My path wasn’t always straightforward; I often navigated this journey without seeing many people who looked like me in the field or having the guidance I needed. That experience drives my commitment to being the mentor I wish I had, helping students feel confident, supported, and seen. I’ve since mentored numerous pre-dental students through their applications, with multiple acceptances to top programs—including two mentees accepted to Harvard. I focus on helping you champion your unique story and strengths, build a strategic application, and show admissions committees exactly why you belong.
