  1. What should I write about in a dental school personal statement (essay)?

    The dental school (ADDSAS) personal statement essay is meant to provide you with an opportunity to explain why you desire to pursue dental education and to convey that you have qualities and experiences that stand out above the rest.

    The dental school personal statement is your sole opportunity to talk about your reasons for choosing dentistry, your passion for dentistry, relevant experience in the field, your future personal and professional goals and lastly, what makes you suitable for the field. The biggest challenge in writing a personal statement is to communicate your thoughts without sounding redundant, banal and unoriginal.

    The Admissions Committee members who read your essay are looking for applicants who are strongly motivated, academically prepared, articulate, socially conscious, and are knowledgeable about the dental profession.

    iPrepdental's experienced editors will guide you from beginning to end in telling a unique, compelling and memorable story that will leave a long lasting impression and significantly increase your chances of getting into dental school.


  2. What is the dental school personal statement word limit?

    The personal statement is limited to approximately one page. That is about 4,500 characters, including spaces.

  3. How do I submit the dental school personal statement?

    The dental school personal statement should be submitted online in your application to ADEA AADSAS under the section "Personal Statement".

  4. Can I revise the dental school personal statement after I submit it?

    No. You will not be able to revise this section after e-submitting your ADEA AADSAS application. Therefore, it is extremely important that you revise, edit and correct your AADSAS personal statement before submitting it.

  5. How important is the dental school personal statement?

    A strong, unique, well-written dental school personal statement will help the admissions committee see that you are an ambitious and dedicated applicant qualified for the challenges of dental school and dentistry. An ordinary, unremarkable dental school personal statement will leave a negative impression that may hurt your chances of getting into dental school.
