Writing Tips for UNE
Expert advice for this specific school
🏥
Public Health Mission — Own It: UNE's curriculum is grounded in community health. Show genuine commitment to public health dentistry, not just interest. Describe specific experiences that reflect this value.
🌈
DEI Question — Be Specific and Personal: Don't give a generic diversity statement. Share a specific experience, challenge, or perspective that shaped your understanding of equity in healthcare.
✏️
Proofread Thoroughly: Read each response aloud and have a mentor review it. Typos and grammatical errors signal carelessness to admissions committees.
📅
Submit Early: Most schools review secondaries on a rolling basis. Submitting within 2 weeks of receiving your secondary significantly improves your interview chances.
