What do you guys think the worst opening sentence for a PS would be?

 

[Mad Jack]

"After two cycles of medical school rejection, the relaxed and relatively uncomplicated lives of many practicing dentists began to seem far more appealing."

 

[sacapuntas]

'I first became interested in dentistry after I got a 21 on the MCAT.'

 

[clutchfans]

I sell crack cocain, wasn't going well so I thought of doing dental school

 

[tandem7]

Don't start with "I want to go to dental school because…."

 

[sgv]

edit : poor taste

 

[distressstudent]

"I have always wanted to be a dentist"

 

[kingenamel]

"I really like the idea of not working on fridays"

 

[Demilaax]

Since i was an infant, i knew dentistry was for me.

 

[Glimmer1991]

I think "I hate teeth." has the potential for either being a TERRIBLE or GREAT way to start a personal statement... depending on what you did with it. 😀 (There ain't nothin' wrong with starting off with some "shock value" if you are a good writer and can pull the whole thing off!)

 

[Cello]

Just don't tell them you're actually a bumblebee.

 

[cakefacade]

"I love calculus"

 

[ktran17]

"My name is.."

 

[Ferneezy]

"Mbuto..."

 

[sgv]

"Mbuto..."

 

[DavesNotHere]

"I have always been too lazy to become an MD, but my GPA was too high to become a DO...this was all that remained"

 

[hunterx2]

In my actual PS I began with 'I am applying to dental school because.....' and just listed several reasons. I ended with 'I hope you will consider my application for the class of 2018.'. No nonsense.

 

[gn4]

You can start with shock value as long as you can pull it off. I started with shock value and my PS seemed to be how people wanted to start the interview

 

[Sublimazing]

"The human mouth is a terrifying and disgusting orifice that must be eliminated, no matter what the cost"

 

[Glimmer1991]

You can start with shock value as long as you can pull it off. I started with shock value and my PS seemed to be how people wanted to start the interview

I don't think mine was "shocking," per se, but it was definitely unusual--and it was certainly brought up to start a few interviews! 🙂

I think they love reading statements that are unique. Things must drone on when you read 100 of them that say just about the same thing...

 

[tooth knockn]

So you want a personal statement huh! .....

[Leafs86]

I started mine with "Once upon a time."

"If A Clockwork Orange has taught us nothing..."

My passion for teeth has guided me since leaving the womb

'I first became interested in dentistry after I got a 21 on the MCAT.'

I know a few…lulz

 

[omgroll]

I have a passion in drill fill + bill. Especially the last one.

 

[dieanotherday]

Dentistry is for me because I don't like to learn anything new. I know I can succeed doing the same thing over and over again.

^^what some of my friends said about what they thought of dentistry
we're not really friends anymore

 

[wb1]

It won't hurt when I drill. They called me Dr. Dre. I could rap, but I rather drill.

 

[dieanotherday]

"I've always wanted to be a dentist which is a doctor of some sort because my asian parents told me to"

 

[omgroll]

Part of it's right tho. "I know I can succeed" part is definitely true.

 

[dieanotherday]

goes hand in hand with "tooth technician"

 

[techyguy]

"I've always wanted to be a dentist which is a doctor of some sort because my asian parents told me to"

I know an office manager at a dentist who has a DDS for this reason.

 

[omgroll]

Oh. I meant it as we will all be successful! The part after succeed is def not true.

We had a thread like this on the pre-dental board about 2 weeks ago, I think.

I'm tired of selling propane and propane accessories, so dentistry seemed like the logical choice...I tell ya what.

I agree, plus the Vogner Char-King pretty much sold itself.

 

[y3nd0]

"I hate dentistry and everything about it. Dat $$$ tho..."

Dollar signs included.

 

[Cello]

"After I failed to extract yet another poor starving child's molar on my third dental mission to Angola and left them bleeding in a dingy old medical hut; I decided that it might be a good idea to learn how to be a proper dentist."

Your reference > My reference. I bow to you sir.

As Jennifer Anniston's self-proclaimed biggest fan, I thought to myself , "Why can't I do this?", after seeing her seamless transition from a typical coffee shop employee in Friends to a confident yet sexy and empowered dentist in Horrible Bosses.

Likewise my friend , gotta love the classics 🙂

[djd0516]

"And what had happened was..."

 

[Dentalguy8621]

The money…the cars…the clothes…the hoes…I suppose?

 

[Glimmer1991]

No, wait. Here's the best ever opening statement for a dental school PS:

"I am honored and truly delighted to be applying to medical school because..."

 

[supergenius310]

"I want to become a dentist, so I can collect as many teeth as possible for the tooth fairy." Those dollar bills though.

 

[JoeyDirt]

Originally I wanted to be a gynecologist, but after extensive shadowing, I found the profession stinks compared to dentistry.

 

[Blake1e]

"I like teeth, teeth are cool."

 

[Daneosaurus]

"For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to own a mansion, two Ferraris, and be married to a super model."
