Have you volunteered/shadowed/attended events at any dental schools?
- 1 week during the summer at StonyBrook Dental School for a dental academic enrichment program. Connected with faculty and students while learning/practicing introductory dental procedures.
Relevant Honors or Awards:
- Dean's List all years
- TriBeta Biology Honor Society
LOR type and strength:
- committee letter (I'd say it's pretty strong)
- 1 from genetics professor
- 1 from OChem professor
- 1 from research professor
- 2 from 2 general dentists
Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags:
- First Generation
- Low income household
- bilingual
- graduating a year early
- did dual enrollment in high school and I used some of those classes like stats, calc, physics 1, english comp to cover prereqs. (most schools accept this but I applied to some schools that discourages it but will accept)
- maybe not enough volunteering experience. (my school didn't allow cars my first year and transportation on campus was bad, so I only started with volunteer during my second year)
School list:
- Have already applied to all (schools are ranked in priority) - cannot apply to StonyBrook b/c they require completion of prerequisites before application submission, not before matriculation. Also had Tufts in mind but I didn't want to another supplemental. Additionally, I couldn't apply to some schools because I do not plan to take Anatomy and Phys because I'm more focus more on getting my degree complete if I want to graduate in 3 years.
