Hey guys,

Does anyone know the difference between 'personal statement' and 'statement of purpose' ? Or are they the same ?

It's the same thing, and one of the most important parts of your application! The SOP is like your first impression in front of the dental schools, a reason why you're invited and where a lot of your interview questions are asked from. I personally had professional help to get it edited. It cost me money, but less than the amount I would have to pay to interview at 1 more colleges and a lot less than it would've cost me to reapply to CAAPID (if I didn't get in).
