BAUZA-DAVILA  \nCLASS OF 2 0 2 0  \nS T U D E N T P R O F I L E  \nHometown: Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Moved to Greenville, NC when I was seven years old.  \nUndergraduate Major: Public Health Major; concentration in Pre-Health Professions  \nCareer Aspiration: Dentist  \nProfessional School: East Carolina School of Dental Medicine  \nWhat's been your favorite part of the journey to apply to professional schools?  \nTruly getting to know myself. You do a lot of self-reflection and internalizing in this process. However, my favorite part about the application cycle were the interviews. I felt like the faculty/staff/students really got to know me as a person and WHY I was so passionate about dentistry.  \nWhat were some of the challenges you came across when preparing to apply to schools (what was tougher than you expected)?  \nSTUDYING FOR THE DAT! I had a negative attitude about taking the test long before I even started studying for it. This made the studying process a lot harder than it needed to be. As a result, it reflected on my score and required me to re-take it.  \nHow did you prepare yourself for the process of applying to schools?  \nSTAYING ORGANIZED! I had an ongoing excel and word document for every shadowing/volunteer event I attended. Not only would I log the hours, but I would also write down a couple of sentences on what I did that day and what I learned. These documents came in very handy when I was filling out the “experiences” section in my application. I also had a folder for everything related to the different dental schools. This really helped me narrow down which dental schools I was going to apply to. Dental school applications are extremely expensive and it is super important to apply to the schools that align with YOU and vice-versa (mission, GPA, DAT scores, experience, demographic, location, etc. )  \nWhere are you going to school?  \nEast Carolina School of Dental Medicine  \nWhat organizations were you involved in as an undergraduate student?  \nAlpha Epsilon Delta (AED-A Pre-Professional Honors Society), Pre-Dental Honors Society, Undergraduate Dental Student Association (USNDA)  \nWhat services or organizations would you recommend pre-profesional students utilize?  \nPre-Professional Advising Center, Career Center, Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED-A Pre-Professional Honors Society), Pre-Dental Honors Society, Undergraduate Dental Student Association (USNDA)  \nLooking back, what advice would you give to students who are interested in professional schools? What do you wish you had known earlier?  \nSHADOW, SHADOW, SHADOW! As much as you can. I shadowed every time I had the chance. I even spent my entire Junior year spring break shadowing from 7am-6pm (and sometimes later), Monday through Friday. Not only will shadowing help out your resume, but you will learn SO MUCH dentistry during the process.  \nWhat typeof shadowing did you do?  \nI shadowed both general dentists and specialists in different dental settings (urban, rural, hospital dentistry, etc. )  \nWhat type of volunteering did you do?  \nMOM clinics, Bernstein “ Mini MOM” clinics, Give Kids a Smile Day at Eastern Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry  \nDId you do research? If so, what was the topic?  \nI did research in the Biology and Chemistry departments. The research I helped with in biology was in the Summers Lab, where I got to work with frogs and help a Master student collect data. And for the Chemistry research, I helped out a Master student collect data in the Spuches Lab.  \nWhat was your most rewarding experience at ECU?  \nGetting into my \\#1 dental school choice after years of hard work.  \nAny other advice, recommendations, suggestions, or comments?  \nKEEP GOING, KEEP WORKING HARD, AND STAY ORGANIZED. Your hard work, achievements, and even your struggles do not go unnoticed. ~ There is a light at the end of the tunnel! ~","cbCaimoj9eWCNsTn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimoj9eWCNsTn","pdf",2011050,"English","# Student Profile\n## Personal Background and Goals\n## Application Journey and Challenges\n## Preparation Methods and Advice\n## Education, Organizations, and Activities","[{\"question\":\"What is Laura’s career aspiration and intended professional school?\",\"answer\":\"Laura aspires to become a dentist and plans to attend East Carolina School of Dental Medicine.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenge made studying for professional school applications harder than expected?\",\"answer\":\"She struggled with studying for the DAT due to a negative attitude toward the test, which affected her score and required a retake.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Laura prepare herself for applying to professional schools?\",\"answer\":\"She stayed organized by maintaining Excel and Word documents for shadowing and volunteer events, tracking hours and reflections, and using a folder system for different dental schools.\"}]","LAURA N.
