LSUHSC Dentistry

Friends: be cautious in following admission advice of others. Parents, mentors, cousins, etc. may mean well but are not on my committee.

Does everyone know the date today? If you haven't submitted your application, what are you waiting for? Hopefully not October 1. Tick Tock..

Never let DAT scores or LORs stop you from applying early in AADSAS. Both of those can be updated throughout the cycle.

Letter writers should know the program to which you're applying. Epic fail: saying you'll do great in med, vet, nursing, OT, etc. school.

Remember that all application fees (to AADSAS and to LSU) are due at time you submit your application. No additional fees are charged after.

Please familiarize yourself with "rolling admissions" policies: the first completed competitive application is the first to get interviewed.

The latest in 3-D art printing--we did it first at LSUSD :-)

High Quality (Human Interaction) Community Outreach Programs: ladental.org/lda/lamissiono… voagno.org habitat-nola.org

If you are an out of state applicant, remember to apply very early with excellent academic credentials: only 5 spots each year at LSUSD.

Unlike your shadowing, community outreach does not have to be in dentistry. Follow your passion and make a difference in your community!

Never too early to begin preparing your application. If you're in high school, check our website annually. If in college, read it daily :-)

The first interview invitations go out soon.The fun begins on August 1st, but be aware of hurricane rescheduling, if needed.#hurricaneseason

The school will be closed tomorrow for the holiday. I will catch up with everyone on Monday. Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

If you are invited to interview, be sure to rest well and eat your Wheaties. The fun on Fridays begins at 7am and ends around 4pm.

Though calls and visits are great, the best way to communicate in admissions is via email. No chance of miscommunication; advice is written.

Here we go! Pulling the first batch of applications officially today! Good luck everyone!

Navigating the electronic application process can be tricky. Your best resource: adea.org/dental_educati… Have a great weekend!

Committee evaluation letters are preferred if your school has the option. 2 basic science instructors' letters may be used in place if not.

No one appreciates the sacrifices you have made to be a student at LSUSD more than I do. I promise the hard work is worth it. You can do it!
