Dental School Personal Statement Writing and Editing Service - 24 Hour Turnaround for Premium Clients
I invite you to fill out my Interview Form at this link. Even if you have a draft, the information on the interview form is often helpful and serves as the basis for me to make creative improvements to the statement. I spend more time with the statement for my premium service customers at US$299.00; this is especially true when it comes to making major contributions to creative ideas. My standard service at US$199.00 is for clients who already have a well-developed draft that they need to have tweaked. My premium service is for those clients who want my ultimate effort and further revision after making changes.

I think the best strategy for the personal statement of an international or foreign-trained dentist is to make use of one’s multicultural and multilingual background and experiences in such a way as to make important contributions to the oral health care of the underserved. Increasingly, over the last few decades, as admission to dental school has become more and more competitive, admissions committees have increasingly come to place a high priority on one’s experience and plans for the future helping the underserved as an oral health care professional. In many cases, with many applicants from India, for example, I have suggested and helped them to express a desire to help the underserved not only here in the USA, their new home, but also back in India, where the need is so very great – in accordance with the global perspective and mission of today’s dentistry profession. Few people know exactly how the selection process for international dentist programs works with respect to ethnic background. We only know the result, the ethnic composition of the class that is selected, which generally represents the population of many if not most countries of the world, especially populous ones like China and India. All information having to do with ethnic quotas, however, is kept strictly confidential by the school because it is legally sensitive - they could be sued. Nevertheless, a lot of it is very logical. What is central is that diversity is very important. The admissions committee wants people from all over the world to attend an international dentists program, with each corner of the planet represented.
I think the best idea for the Personal Statement is to make a convincing argument and have creative ideas about helping the underserved both here in America as well as your country of origin. Focus on your long-term plans for the underserved in both places! Most people are weak on this point, saying only general and vague things like “I want to help people in developing countries.” You need specific and concrete, creative ideas for the long term, and in this way show greater maturity and dedication than your competitors. Almost all are multilingual and many have extensive experience from outside the United States. Some are already dentists who have completed their training and already practiced dentistry in their country of origin; and now they are applying to Advanced Placement Programs leading to the DDS degree in America, Canada, England or Australia. My clients generally share an interest in helping to meet the desperate need for extensive new initiatives in oral health care, geared, in particular, towards meeting the needs of the most vulnerable sectors of society in the Developing World. I am convinced that one’s ethnicity, language skills, and multicultural experiences need to be woven together in a most eloquent fashion in your Personal Statement, as interconnected themes that radiate throughout your admission essay and which you connect to your dedication to helping the underserved, in particular. Your ethnic or racial background and international aptitudes are your greatest assets as an applicant, and they need to be carefully related to both your short- and long-term goals.
I do everything that I can to make your personal statement to dental school as effective as possible. After a careful review of your material, to the extent to which it is necessary, I ask you specific questions by email; and I have gotten good at this as a result of nearly a quarter of a century of professional experience writing dental statements. I am a seasoned expert concerning what is important to include, and, perhaps even more importantly, what is not. I have had a great deal of practice at condensing a lot of material into approximately 5200 characters with spaces or even less. To the extent to which they come to me, I sometimes contribute creative ideas that help to make your case for admission much more powerful. Dental school is extremely competitive. It is not enough to suggest that you are hoping to contribute to the diversity of the program; you must demonstrate in especially creative ways how your own unique combination of high motivation and multicultural background makes you uniquely suited to dentistry and that you have enormous potential for meeting the oral health care needs of the planet’s underserved populations in particular.
Sample 1st Paragraphs for Successful Personal Statements for Dental School
A dentist from India with 5 years of full time experience practicing dentistry in my home country, I am now a permanent resident of the USA and have been making my home in Boston for the past year-and-a-half. I hope very much to be accepted to your program so that I might resume my career here in America and in this way help to support my family and educate our children. On my recent vacation, I went back to India and helped to organize volunteer dental camps for Dr. XXXX with an emphasis on preventive dentistry, which I see as the foundation of helping the underserved in my country of origin. I also spent considerable time with Dr. XXXX, helping her with her research focused on medication for neurodegenerative disorders, one of my own research interests as well. I very much appreciate the global solidarity that characterizes our profession and I look forward to many decades to come of living, learning, and doing everything that I can to help those who are most vulnerable among us, the underserved; flying back and forth each year between Boston and my roots. India shall always be with me.
An Indian woman, a devoted mother, and a compassionate dentist, it has long been my dream to earn the DDS/DMD Degree in the United States. I have recently spent a significant amount of time in the USA preparing for and taking my NBDE part 1 (passed) and I have fallen in love with virtually everything, most of all the advanced state of dentistry. Over the course of decades that follow, I hope to pursue my focus on helping the underserved in various regions of the Developing World and I appreciate how widely recognized the Doctoral Degree in Dentistry from America is, all over the world.
An Indian woman now 30 years old, I am an experienced dentist with three years of intensive practice behind me before leaving India. Since my arrival in the USA, I have devoted myself most diligent as an Assistant, in a variety of positions both paid and volunteer. I hope to be selected to earn the DDS Degree in your especially rigorous program for International Dentists because of my sheer determination and deep love for long hours in dentistry. Most the time when I am not doing dentistry, I cook and do yoga – refreshing me for my daily return to what I love most.
