Guidance for Successfully Managing Your Dental Residency Applications

Shemmasian Academic Consulting played a crucial role in helping me realize my goal of securing a spot in a dental specialty residency program. As an internationally trained dentist applying to a U.S. program for the first time, their support was invaluable throughout the entire process. My advisor assisted me in developing a comprehensive plan and timeline for all necessary tasks. They helped me select the appropriate programs and schools to apply to, scheduled my INBDE and TOEFL exams, and provided guidance on completing each application. Additionally, they reviewed and polished my essays and offered constructive feedback once I was invited to interviews. I submitted applications to 16 prosthodontics residency programs and received 12 interview invites. I attended 10 interviews, all of which went exceptionally well! Ultimately, I was accepted into a combined five-year program that included a Doctorate degree and a prosthodontics residency, but I chose to decline in order to participate in the Match. I’m thrilled to share that I matched with my dream prosthodontics program, which was my top choice on my ranking list. I am eternally grateful to Shemmasian Academic Consulting for their guidance and support during the often stressful application process. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking to enhance their application and successfully navigate the dental residency application journey.
