Workshop Description:
Dental school admissions can feel confusing, especially when students are trying to understand prerequisites, DAT preparation, clinical exposure, service, shadowing, and what makes an applicant truly competitive. This student-centered, inspirational workshop is designed for community college and university premed, predental, and pre-health students who want clear, SEO-friendly guidance on applying to the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Stan Constantino, MA, EdD, Associate Dean for Admissions, Student Life, and Diversity, will explain what future dentists should know about academic readiness, application strategy, personal statements, interviews, professionalism, leadership, and mission fit. Students will gain practical insight into how to build a stronger dental school application while staying grounded in purpose, service, and patient-centered care. You can come, ask your questions, and get answers in a supportive environment focused on access, clarity, and real next steps. Most importantly, come hear directly from the source instead of second-hand information or people who have no clue about the admissions process. Leave informed, inspired, and ready to move forward with confidence toward dentistry today.
