“The most important tip I would have for getting into dental school is to build a strong, well rounded resume. Shadowing, volunteering, and research are very important. I was fortunate enough to find an evolutionary/developmental biology lab to perform research in as an undergrad. I also volunteered at Carle Hospital which was a great way gain exposure to the health care field in general.”
