Each year, more than 11,000 aspiring pre-dents apply for admission to US dental schools. It is no longer enough to get above-average grades and DAT scores. How do you stand out and make a compelling case for why YOU should be accepted over someone else with a similar profile?

This book, the first of its kind, contains the collective wisdom of young dentists nationwide who got into their dream schools. It includes 30 outstanding personal statements published for the first time, with commentary on what makes them compelling. We hope this book will inspire and guide you to success.
