Hey everyone!

I am applying to dental school this upcoming cycle and I was wondering if anyone who has previously applied to University of Florida's dental school would share any advice they had on personal statements or about the application process.

Thank you so much for your time!!

Thank you so much for your time!!

I was accepted last cycle and I’m assuming you’re in state since they barely accept out of state. I’d say aim to have as high stats as possible, if your gpa is sub par then a high DAT is a must or you most likely won’t recieve an interview. If you are to get an interview, you need to learn how to sell yourself and your application. The interview is crucial and I have seen many people with more than qualified stats be rejected after the interview. Be confident, charming, and learn to bs a little haha. If you get an interview invite send me a DM and I’ll try to help you out some more!
