What is the one achievement the you are most proud of on your path to dental residency?

"The achievement I am most proud of at this point in my life is graduating from a difficult undergraduate program in four years with a 3.9 GPA. What makes me so proud of this accomplishment is the fact that I worked a part-time job to support my education while studying for long hours. I proved to myself that if I can commit to something, nothing can hold me back."

Before your dental residency interviews, take some time to reflect upon your educational path and your achievements during that time. Perhaps you maintained an exceptional GPA or excelled in school while working a part-time job. Maybe you finished at the top of your class and received a special award for your achievements. Share any accolades you received along the way with your interviewer. If your achievement example comes from your personal life, don't hesitate to discuss that, as long as it proves your ability to be an outstanding resident with this program.
