Hey everyone,
Im currently working on my personal statement along with studying for the DAT. As some of you might know from my previous posts I am a reapplicant and thus I decided to rewrite my entire personal statement.
One question I had for some of you that got in was, how did you make your personal statement or story unique?
I find that all the examples I see online, it seems that some students have some sort of traumatic tooth injury or eye opening volunteering moment that makes for a great story and reason for going into dentistry. But what if you dont have that? Although I do plan on addressing my personal journey with dentistry, alongside a passion for healthcare, science, and research. Are these too generic? I dont want to simply repeat whats on my resume either.
Greatly appreciate some advice!
