I plan to write about my experiences as a Sunday School Teacher. Would this be a good or bad idea as a topic for my PS.

As long as it somehow ties into dentistry. And you aren't just talking about the expeirence but also about how it has (cliche) helped you grow into the person you are today, and how that in turn makes you well suited to become a dentist. 😍 Also, include how you stumbled upon the profession.

Just remember that everything you say in your PS should have a POINT that is relative to your application. You can talk about anything you want as long as there is a reason for it.

I second somethinpositive's comment. HAHAHA.

Also, in all seriousness, I am glad religion is important to you, but there is more to life and you than religion, I'm sure. EVERYONE has religion.

Instead of asking WWJD, maybe ask, What makes me unique? Your religion? No, it's you. your personality. The things that happen in your life, lol...

I think writing about your love of JC would hurt you, except at aforementioned schools.

This can go either way. If you get too religious, it might offend some , bore other, or, if you have an atheist adcom member....

However, if you relate teaching to the fact that dentists need to education their patients and have developed ETC from the experience, this may help you
