Hi! It's so exciting you're thinking of pursuing dentistry! Though the process can get overwhelming at times, I had a lot of support from mentors who helped elevate my application and boost my confidence - things I would be honoured to help you do now on your journey!
I'm in my fourth year of the Doctor of Dental Surgery Program at the University of Toronto, but I was also accepted to Western University. After working with over 100 applicants, I'm well-versed in guiding prospective students through the rigorous admissions process. I have helped students gain admission to dentistry programs at UofT, Western, McGill, UofAlberta, UofManitoba, the University of Western Australia and various American schools.
During my undergraduate degree at McMaster University, I worked in a mentorship role offering 1-on-1 guidance and support to first-year students navigating the complexities of higher education. I was also a senior research editor for a youth STEM journal for three years. I have plenty of experience critically evaluating and providing constructive feedback in a way that truly seeks to help and empower you.
There's so much I've learned on my journey to dental school, and I'd love to share my insight with you. Regardless of your life path, you have valuable experiences and skills that I'm committed to helping you showcase in your applications. Let's work together to make your dental school dreams a reality!

Lauren Kavina was extremely helpful in editing my essays for the UofT application. She provided very detailed in line feedback along with comments pertaining to the overall quality of the essay. She helped me refine my story and communicate it in a way that I am proud to share with the admissions committee. I would highly recommend her services to anyone applying, she takes time and provides high quality service. Thank you Kavina!

As a non-traditional applicant, I had questions with regards to my narrative and personal statement; Kavina was concise and greatly communicated how she views my narrative. She was also very descriptive and clear in answering all the questions I had for dental school application. If you need any clarity, definitely reach out to her!

I can't speak highly enough about Kavina. She helped me with my AADSAS personal statement. The person who recommended her to me said she would be a "game changer," and I absolutely understand why now. What impressed me most was her ability to leave clear, actionable suggestions for improvement. Her feedback was detailed and tailored to my experiences rather than generic advice. I feel a lot more confident now with this version of my personal statement. Worth every penny!

Kavina was incredibly helpful and super easy to work with. I would highly recommend her and I even told a few friends of mine about her services too! Very communicative, and reviewed things when she said she would in a timely manner. Left amazing feedback on my personal statement; you can tell she was very thorough, thoughtful, and honest with her comments. I feel like my personal statement did a complete 360 for the better, and she was really able to tailor her service to my personal needs. Overall, I felt she gave great advice on my application and was quite knowledgable. Thank you Kavina!
