I paid significant money for a professional statement of purpose service, and what I got back was completely generic—something that could have been written by literally anyone. I decided not to apply that cycle.
But looking back, that was the best decision I could have made. Because it forced me to figure out from scratch what US dental schools actually want to read. That knowledge—understanding exactly what admissions committees are looking for—is what ultimately got me into NYU College of Dentistry.
If you're an international dental graduate preparing your CAAPID application, I've broken down exactly what was wrong with my first statement of purpose, what I changed, and what finally worked. Comment "SOP" and I'll send you the full guide for free in 10 seconds.
Remember: CAAPID opens March 6th. If your statement of purpose isn't ready, you're already behind.
