Motivation Letter

[BWA15]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

Hello everyone,

i am now applying into Dental program, and the University requires that i write a 400 words motivation letter explaining why i would like to become a dentist. i know that the answer should be personal, but i am pretty sure the same "reasons" keep being resent to them.
so i would like to know "good" reasons to become a dentist, and originality here might give a plus, but i am not too sure.
here is a list of what i have in mind to write about:
-Makes lots of money
-Have your own business
-Have a fix schedule and free time

and now comes the "sugarcoating" to gain brownie points...

-Saves lives because they are more able to detect cancer from the mouth
-It is not only about teeth but it involves almost the whole head and the neck unlike what most people think
-Gives back a beautiful look to people, that allow them to smile more, and be more comfortable, therefore have more self-confidence
-I am good at working with my hands and would like to use my abilities for dentistry...

you see the type of things im looking for...

oh, and you do not need to write them in point form, whole sentence would actually be pretty appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Don't write about making lots of money. There are other fields where u can make lots of money and it doesn't require an additional 4 years of education on top of undergrad. Also saving lives to detect cancer from the mouth is bs. While you may encounter a patient with oral cancer this isnt going to happen everyday so you should find a better sentence to get your brownie points.

I think it would be best to talk about your volunteering and shadowing experiences along with your interest in science which led you to consider/pursue a career as a dentist. Be concise and get to the point. Good luck.

oh alright, thanks for your concern, i will take it into consideration.



@sdooner30: yeah well, tried to keep the University anonymous, but would not have minded to give the name if i were asked. its from Universite de Montreal in Canada, province of Quebec. We dont pass an interview there, only have to send a letter which compensate it.
