The interviewers want to know that if you were accepted into Loma Linda University, you would have the support required for your heavy and challenging dental school workload.

"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending dental school. My father is especially keen as he also graduated from Loma Linda University. Both of my parents, as well as my older brother, live in the area. I will have a robust and encouraging support system should I be accepted into Loma Linda University."

If you, unfortunately, do not have the support of your family, briefly touch on why they are not supportive. Then end on a positive note describing any friends, mentors, or partner who supports you.

"Unfortunately, my family has never been supportive of my dreams. However, I have a powerful support system, including my mentor, boyfriend, and best friend, who think it is amazing that I want to become a dentist. They help me study for exams and are always there for me."
