Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on my personal statement. I was wondering if a dental student or a dentist would be willing to look over the opening of my personal statement and tell me if it has a cosmetic dentistry slant? I'm trying to avoid that completely, but I feel like that's the tone of my opening. If someone could please look over this for me, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks.
 
be careful who you share your pS w.

you dont want to have 2 personal statements that look the same going to same school.

no one here has experience. IF you are looking for people w/ experience I strongly suggest you go to your schools career development center or service. and ask for assistance. Going to my schools career development center made my ps 100folds better.
 
if you want me to read your PS, I will def read for you.
 
I started my personal statement with a paraphrase of a classic.
Goodbye cruel world, I'm leaving you today. Goodbye, all you people, There's nothing you can say To make me change my mind. Goodbye.

Alternatively, feel free the use the following
I want to go to dental school because I'm really interested in oral surgery. If I cannot be an Oral Surgeon then I will become an Orthodontist. Nothing can stop me. I am smart. I am motivated. I have fantastic handskills as I've been playing PS3 for almost three years without leaving my room.
 
Dang, that is the angle I'm taking! Way to ruin it.

whatever your content, start your essay with "therefore,...."
