The Ultimate Guide to Getting Stellar Letters of Recommendations: Dental School Edition
It was amazing! All of you are getting so good.Very professional! I am impressed!!!
I got in Harvard and Penn, but I cannot afford. Instead I went to UCLA in 1985. At that time tuition is free at UCLA dental school.
Wow, what a blessing! Congrats to you! I would have made the same decision in your position with such an amazing opportunity to go to dental school for free.
@ Unfortunately those days will never come back. You guys made a right decision.
This video was so genuine, just watching how you guys went through different emotions was very emotional! I almost had happiness tears for you! Fingers crossed for my acceptance day this year, on Dec 13, interviewed at 9 already. Hoping to have a similar experience as you guys!
Thank you so much for your comment! We are happy you enjoyed the video. Wow!!! 9 interviews is impressive! We wish you the best of luck. Feel free to update us on December 13th with all your acceptances!🤞
this made me realize how much being a nail tech will help me out in dental school
@@maya-mu3ce Being a nail tech will help tremendously in dental school. Very similar instruments and foundations in regard to the hand skills!
Beautiful
Thank you so much!
, success is my opinion
Pretty cool! Wish the video reached more people, though its probably because not a lot of people are interested in this type of stuff. (Autistic and human body is one of my special interests)
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and as long as the videos reach people like you, that’s more than enough for us. Thanks for watching!
Could you please tell me what the wax brand you used
So proud of you I love you!
Thanks Andrea! Love you too❤️
you mentioned that you categorized your president role under achievements. Did you categorize this under Honors? I don't think awards or scholarships would be fitting.
@@daneankim874 Hey! I did place it under honors as I had to compete against others to earn the position. That being said, it can honestly go either under honors or an experience. The admissions committees honestly don’t care as long as you’re not double dipping and placing it in both. Hope this helps and good luck applying!
@@thedentalduo thank you!
@@daneankim874 Happy to help!
Tara was giving a PSA 😁
@j.wilkerson1905 Yup! You’re 100% right. Did I say it wrong in the video? If so, I apologize!
@@thedentalduo No, I didn't see that you identified the injection until later. How fun...good video
Ah, okay just making sure haha. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
love ITTT
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Hi! I just came across this vlog as I was doing research on UPenn dental school and really enjoyed watching the vlog. I’m not sure if you will see my comment by my interview date but I have an interview coming up this week for UPenn and was wondering if you have any tips for it?
Hey! First off congrats! That’s an amazing accomplishment. You are early into the application cycle so that’s a great sign. I think the best advice I can give you is to be yourself. It sounds cliche but I’ve noticed there is a lot of personality within my class. Don’t be afraid to show your character because that will make you stand out amongst the rest. Obviously staying professional at all times is important. Aside from that, don’t be too hard on yourself. They clearly like you on paper as you got offered an early interview invite so as long as you show them you’re personable you will do fine! Be confident (not cocky)! Feel free to reach out with any other questions and let me know how it goes after! Finally, in case you feel like you need more preparation, I offer mock interviews. If interested, you can find the link on my Instagram bio, @thedentduo. Good luck! 🤞
What size u got in Fabletics ?
XXS for the top and bottoms :)
Hi guys! This is my 3rd time watching this video, it’s so amazing to see your reactions. Currently interviewing for the upcoming cycle🥰
Thank you so much for the support! We are both rooting for your success!! Keep us updated on your progress and good luck!
@@thedentalduo Of course and thank you so much!! I will!
Did you two ever make that video commenting on why you chose lumadent for your loupes light? I'm actually looking to buy the same q optics TTL loupes at 4.5 with the steepest declination angle and deciding between loupe light manufacturers. I love my andau lights because even without the shield it doesn't cure composite quickly well but the batteries are questionable quality so I was trying to decide between designs for vision (can be powered from a USB battery pack if needed - it's been done on a youtube video somewhere ), surgitel (more neutral light compared to most blue/white loupe lights - dont know if this will cure composite faster because my old orascoptic was a bit more neutral/yellow cand cures faster) or just making an adapter for my andau lights to work with the q optics. Thanks!
We haven’t! We wanted to use the loupes extensively for the first couple years to ensure we don’t have any problems or change our mind. As of now, we love our decision. The Lumadent light was recommended to us by D2-D4s at the time due to its long battery life and brightness. I can confirm, it’s a really solid light that lasts multiple days of use which I think is very valuable considering when we get to clinic it will be annoying to switch out the batteries constantly. As for the adapters, Lumadent will provide you with the adapter that will attach on to your current loupes so there’s no issues with that! Let us know if you have any other questions and we’re happy to help!
Exelente
Hii mam , need your help ..how can i contact you
Hey! Feel free to reach out to me through Instagram DMs at @thedentduo.
Exelente
I would love to see you in the pocket top or a peek at these untucked because I think you would look really nice both ways and am curious to see if
I shadowed in perio the other week-some of the coolest dental care I’ve ever seen.
That’s awesome! Yes it is definitely an interesting field
Hey sweetie I’m just curious about one more thing. Do you ever wear scrub tops with the pockets at the bottom of the shirt? I have seen them both ways but do or would you tuck in those tops too?
I do but I don’t tuck them in because I feel like it looks better untucked and gives me better access to use the pockets
@@thedentalduo I agree. I just don’t feel comfortable untucked so I probably wouldn’t get those. I had just wondered if it would be uncomfortable just in case I wanted to try to wear them tucked in.
Exelente!!
sí!!!
Why didn’t you both go to UPenn if you both got in?
Hey! It was a really tough decision. We both got into UPenn and Maryland Dental. However, we heavily took finances into consideration. Maryland offers instate tuition after the first year making it a more affordable for Kathleen and UPenn offered me the scholarship making it my cheaper option. We also considered travel distance and realized it was feasible to see each other every weekend while in dental school. Finally, we wanted to attend schools that valued clinical and hands-on experiences and from what we heard, both programs excelled in this. All in all, we're happy with our decisions and both love our programs!
Once you get in DAT score is meaningless. To be a successful dentist you need to have great business acumen. So don’t be discouraged if you didn’t get that high of a score. The avg is a 20
Couldn’t agree more! I just wanted to show what resources my classmates used to study for their DAT in addition to showcasing their results. However, once you get in, it’s 100% meaningless.
You are very beautiful and you look very cute and professional in your scrubs! I think they look really nice tucked in. Most medical professionals I see in New Orleans leave their scrubs out. They say that it’s comfy for work and I have friends that like how it elongates their bodies. But tucking gives you a pretty silhouette and shows off your cute figure! ❤
Aw thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, I do love to tuck my scrubs in! Most girls in my class tuck them in!
@@thedentalduo you’re welcome and that’s cool. I’m starting to see more people do it. For a while people said tucking things in was geeky but it’s gradually coming back into style.
Yes! I also like for the drawstring of the pants to show so that's why I like tucking them in
@@thedentalduo I agree that looks cute!
🥺🫶🏻
Exelente!!!
Gracias!!
You look perfect in all of them!
Thank you Andrea🥺❤️
I love it!
Thanks Patty!
The description on the figs are super helpful
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Love the Bahamas. Great stuff.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
How do I schedule a prometric center mock test?
Hey! Call the prometric testing center in which you’re taking your exam and tell them them you’d like to schedule a mock test and will help you out👍
@@thedentalduo do you know if there’s any fee?
@@nihaahmed7616 Hey, there is a fee. I think its around $50 to schedule a mock test. I personally don't think its necessary to take the mock test. However, I would recommend driving to your testing center before your test and walk up to the front desk to make sure you know where to park and where to go on your test day. Good luck!
What is the difference between DAT Bootcamp and DAT Booster Prep? They seem almost identical…
I used bootcamp so I can only vouch for them. Their tutors, layout, practice questions, and schedule is unmatched in my opinion. The program prepares you extremely well. I’m sure booster might be similar but I’ve heard more good things about bootcamp than booster. Some people use both resources and say they preferred studying with bootcamp. Whichever you go with, I wish you the best of luck studying. If you choose bootcamp, use code “DentalDuo10” for 10% off your purchase!
Hii! You mentioned that a leadership positions in a club would better go under "Achievements". What section should I add it under: Awards, Honors or Scholarships?
In retrospect, It could go under experiences or achievements. I would recommend putting it under achievements if you were assigned the position but have yet to start the position. If you have served the position for some time, then I’d suggest putting it under experiences. For your question, I’d put it under honors if you have yet to start the position. Hope this helps!
@@thedentalduo Thank you! I really appreciate your help :)
@@MyrnalizAlvaradoColon Happy to help! Feel free to reach out with any other questions!
Fr 😅
Hi there! This video was very helpful but I did want to ask if you had to tell the recommenders to have a letterhead and a signature as well?
@@maryamhayyawi6616 Hey! Thank you for your comment, we’re glad you enjoyed. Yes, we would highly recommend asking your recommenders for both signature and letterhead. In addition, we used Interfolio which will do an automatic check to make sure both a signature and letter head is present.
My babies I love you!
@@AndreaPenaRN ❤️❤️
I loved it! How much fun and delicious food.❤
Awesome video! Bummed you guys couldn't make it out spearfishing in the Bahamas, its unbelievable there. That lobster roll recipe looks amazing. Definitely going to have to give that one a try next time, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey! Thanks for watching! Yeah, spearfishing in the Bahamas is unmatched but we still had a great time nonetheless. As for the recipe, we highly recommend it. We forgot to record us adding long green onions but we also put some into the mixture in addition to lemon zest. We’re gonna try both your recipes next time we catch more bugs🤝
I could only hold my breath for like 30 seconds hahah
That's a start! The more you practice, the better you get. Thanks you watching!
I loved watching this y’all!!!
Thank you so much!

🤝
YESSSS. This is awesome
Thanks Carlos!
how did you become involved in this? do you have to be on your schools student government board?
Hey! All you need to do is be apart of you schools ASDA chapter. From our experience, our schools sent an email out with sign ups. Spots were limited so we had to write a few responses on why we want to attend. We were fortunately both selected👍
hey 3/4 sealants of mine have come out and idk what to do
Do you guys have roommates? What do you guys pay in rent out of curiosity?
Hey! We both have dental roommates. Kathleen lives in a 4x4 and pays around $1100 a month with utilities and I live in a 3x3 and pay around $1050 a month. Hope this helps!
DAT full form. ??😅
I love how you guys support each other
Thank you!
Good info. I have a closed file interview in 2 weeks. I’ve been in dentistry for 24 years are a dental lab technician and also a registered dental hygienist. Since the interviewers have not seen my application, I plan to incorporate dental life experiences in my responses to their questions so they know I’m already in dental. What do you think about this approach?
Yes! That’s absolutely a great idea! Closed file interviews are all about answering their questions while incorporating all your past experiences into your answer. Definitely feel free to mention how you’ve been in dentistry 24 years. That’s very impressive and shows dedication to the field! Good luck on your interview! Let us know how it goes!
@@thedentalduo will do. This is a dream of mine . I’m in the first group being interviewed so I think they like what they see on paper. 🙏🏾
You got this! That’s the right mindset! Be confident and smile. Wishing you the best of luck🤞
I have been going to a dental school here in Phoenix for a few years for dental work and that honestly was the first time I relaxed enough to close my eyes at a dental appointment and only a couple of times the student I had doing the work had to wake me up after probably a few seconds of my jaw relaxing 😂
Seems like the students at ASDOH are doing a great job then😂
