Dr Mounica

Her journey to Touro College of Dental Medicine

“And I’m living in my dream right now.”
Read transcript

And I’m living in my dream right now. The admission to Touro College of Dental Medicine in my third cycle. So, oh, it’s like a God’s gift, I can say.

My first cycle, I would say I have applied to these schools very lately because of the letter of recommendations got delayed. And because of that, I have to apply it. So I realized that during my second cycle, I improved that and I tried to apply it sooner.

And then I also noticed that there is something lag in my profile. And I got to know about enhancing my profile and get more experience in the clinical fields. And what did you know about the dental schools as well? And that’s how I got into the mentorship program and bench test preparatory course program with you. And they enhanced my profile in a very great way, I would say. And those made me to get admitted to the dental school.

I would definitely say that this journey is challenging. But stay positive and keep hoping. And I would say a right preparation and guidance will make this process doable. Be grateful for you forever.

Dr Susmitha

Her journey to the University of Illinois Chicago

“I did everything, but I didn’t know how to present it.”
Read transcript

So if this cycle wouldn’t work out, I wouldn’t have thought about DDS anymore. It was directionless, first of all. So everything was there, but I don’t know how to put it on the paper. That was in my first two applications.

The last cycle, I felt the same. I was like, that’s why I did my master’s. It was my plan B. I can’t be a dental assistant for this long. So I did everything, but I didn’t know how to present it. That’s where probably you helped me a lot.

I can’t believe myself that I’m really into UIC right now. This is purely my efforts and your efforts and also luck.

Meet your mentor

I matched into a US dental residency on my first attempt. Now I help you prepare.

I trained as a dentist in India and navigated the US application process without a mentor. That experience shapes how I help internationally trained dentists understand their options and present their own stories.

Your experiences, your reasons for dentistry and the direction you want to take belong at the heart of your application.

Before you get started

Who is CAAPID Mentor for?

Internationally trained dentists preparing applications to advanced standing dental programs in the United States through ADEA CAAPID.

What can I access for free?

Create an account to explore the full school directory, the first three personalised school suggestions, school materials and approved community clinic listings. The app also offers a preview of dated events. Paid services unlock the full personalised selection, writing services or dated opportunity catalogue.

Do I need a PS or CV draft before I start?

No. Bring an existing draft or start with guided questions about your own experiences. Your answers and documents remain yours to edit.

Who reviews my personal statement and CV?

Dr Dev or an authorised member of his team reviews your work before it is returned. The standard PS service includes one review submission. The first 50 qualifying bundle purchasers receive two reviews of the same PS and a profile audit with Dr Dev, while places remain.

How is the app different from one-to-one mentorship?

The app brings school research, document preparation and application tracking into one workspace. One-to-one mentorship is a separate service for more personal guidance with Dr Dev; the app is included with that mentorship.

Where do school and event details come from?

School records link to ADEA and official school sources. Opportunity listings include organizer information and source links. Check the current school or organizer requirements before applying or registering; information and availability can change.

How much does it cost?

The complete bundle has a $97 welcome offer for your first 60 minutes after signing in and completing onboarding. This one-time window does not restart when you return. The standard bundle price is $247. Your account shows your current price before checkout. All purchases are one-time with lifetime app access; included writing reviews have their own submission limits. Individual services are also available.

Does this guarantee an interview, acceptance or volunteer placement?

No. Schools make their own admissions decisions, and organizers set their own eligibility and registration requirements. CAAPID Mentor helps you research, organise and prepare; event registration and course fees are separate.
