An exciting new publication from students and facu

An exciting new publication from students and faculty at HSDM! Jack Harris DMD22 and Camille Herzog DMD22 worked with Dr. Vincenzo Terán, our Director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and Dr. Brittany Seymour, our Global Health Discipline Director, to look into all costs of applying to dental school and how it can impair diversification of the dental profession. They also address the effects of COVID-19 on these issues. From the article: "In a way, among the various factors that make dentistry a wildly costly pursuit, COVID-19 is just another barrier exacerbating the inequitable and disproportionate access to dental education in the US. Therefore, now, more than ever, dentists, educators, and administrators alike must critically analyze the current dental school application process and develop unique and innovative solutions to address the prohibitive costs of applying to dental school." Link to article in bio.

⁣Dear 2020–21 Cycle Applicants, ⠀
You’ve worked SO hard to get to where you are now. It is finally your time to shine! We know the process of applying to dental schools may be overwhelming, especially given today’s circumstances. Here are some tips to help you be successful this cycle! ⠀
⠀
1️⃣Don’t worry about other applicants. Focus on yourself and be excited to explain what makes you, YOU. ✨ Understand what qualities make you a strong candidate and also what your weaknesses are. Remember, no one has a perfect application! ⠀
⠀
⠀
2️⃣Understand that dental school admissions will see that parts of the admissions process this cycle are outside of your control due to COVID-19. Don’t be too hard on yourself! Do what you can do.💪⠀
⠀
⠀
3️⃣Look up the school message, mission, or motto before you apply. Figure out exactly what their focus is - understanding where you’re applying will help you weed out unnecessary applications and make you look good in interviews! 🤓⠀
⠀
⠀
4️⃣Try to find interview questions online and practice with friends/family. P.S. We are offering a Mock Interview Program with one-on-one interview feedback with current HSDM students. Sign up link coming July 1 on our instagram @HSDM_asda! 👈⠀
⠀
5️⃣BE CONFIDENT and SMILE!⠀
⠀
We wish you the best. Cheers! ⠀
⠀
Sincerely,⠀
Predental Committee of HSDM ASDA ⠀

⁣Today, we wanted to feature a recent graduate of HSDM who was actively involved in ASDA, Brendan Wu! He was a board member on the Pre-Dental committee and is starting in the 6-year MD-integrated oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program at New York University.⠀
⠀
1. How has ASDA impacted your 4 years in dental school? I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many talented and determined individuals at not only HSDM, but also other dental schools. These are friendships that I will cherish for a lifetime.⠀
⠀
2. What is your favorite moment in ASDA? I have fond memories of our Introduction to Dentistry course for pre-dental students. I loved the excitement and curiosity of our students during lectures, tutorials, and lab sessions. It is always rewarding when they reach out to us after getting accepted to dental school.⠀
⠀
3. What advice would you like to leave for incoming first years and other underclassmen? Lab practical exams will be an unfamiliar experience for many who are accustomed to multiple-choice exams. Don’t stress too much about hand-skills in the beginning, especially when you start wax-ups. Everyone has a different baseline and rate of improvement. Stay confident and motivated, and you will all become competent with enough practice!⠀
