"As I researched dental schools throughout the country to find schools that matched my ideal training and values, Western University's program quickly jumped to the top of my list. First and foremost, I love the focus on research your students are exposed to, as that is something I truly value. I want dental research to be a part of my future work as a dentist in practice. Couple that with the fact that your program values different student clubs and organizations, I'd feel honored to be accepted here."

If you are lucky enough to land an interview at Western University School of Dental Medicine, make some effort to research the school. You don't need to be an expert on their entire history, but you do need to be knowledgeable about their programs, culture, and recent accolades. Start by searching their website and note any recent news articles, events, or contributions they have made to the community or student body. Identify their mission and values so you can know what they stand for.
