📚Non-Science Major — Emphasize Transferable Skills: If applicable, tie your major directly to dentistry: research skills, critical thinking, communication, patient interaction, or leadership. Don't apologize for your path — reframe it as an asset.
📊Explaining Low Grades: Be concise, honest, and forward-looking. Acknowledge the situation, explain briefly, and focus on what you did to improve and what it taught you about your work ethic.
✏️Proofread Thoroughly: Read each response aloud and have a mentor review it. Typos and grammatical errors signal carelessness to admissions committees.
