I did attend the virtual dental fair but didn't feel it warranted adding to the post. I have also attended a dental health outreach event for underserved communities as a volunteer at one of the schools I applied to that I completely forgot to add, my apologies! Not quite sure if either counts.

I would likely need to see your application. I don't know what your business is about or what your transition plan is in letting it go. How much is its value?

How long has it been since you graduated?

Business was in the service industry, it took a hit in 2020 and never fully recovered. Transition has been steadily occurring since then, and I only have a single contract remaining that is set to end in the coming months. As such, the business has no real value as it is currently, beyond negligible profit from equipment. However, it’s still a fall back option or I can return to even if/when I enter dentistry. If I do so I think I could see profits back in the low 6 figures again, but it was quite literally back breaking work and not sure if I have it in me now tbh.

Graduated this April after returning to school in fall of 2020, so pretty recently!
