Q&A with Yun Bo

"When I was applying to dental school, I received a lot of valuable guidance and mentorship from current dental students that made the process less overwhelming. I would like to provide the same support to prospective students now that I am a dental student."

What was your academic or life journey to applying to dental school?

I completed a bachelor's degree in molecular biology and genetics at McMaster University before starting dental school.

What do you love about Schulich Dentistry?

I love the small class sizes and the student:instructor ratio.

What organizations or extracurricular activities are you involved in through dental school?

I am a part of DOCSKids, a student-run community outreach club at Schulich Dentistry. We teach children in London and surrounding regions about the importance of oral health care.

Why did you become a Student Ambassador?

When I was applying to dental school, I received a lot of valuable guidance and mentorship from current dental students that made the process less overwhelming. I would like to provide the same support to prospective students now that I am a dental student.

What do you wish you knew before you were accepted to the DDS Program?

I wish I knew more about what the day-to-day schedule looks like for each year in Dentistry in more detail (synchronous and asynchronous classes, how the Simulation Lab works, how clinics work in 3rd and 4th year).
