“Becoming a Student Ambassador was motivated by my initial struggle with the application process, where I felt isolated because I didn’t know many upper-year students to ask for help. Recognizing the critical role of mentorship, I sought to bridge this gap for incoming applicants.”

“I like to explore around the campus for nice study spots. My current favorite spots are the newly renovated Weldon Library, University College, Thames Hall, Law Library. But I tend to return back to my good old cubicle at Taylor Library when I am under pressure.”

Ali
DDS Class of 2026
“As an internationally trained dentist and a new immigrant in Canada, I had to deal with various challenges. Writing the exams and starting to build up my professional resume in Canada in order to get the admission to dental school was exciting and at the same time stressful. However, consistency and commitment paid off and I was able to make my way to Schulich Dentistry.”

Pearl
DDS Class of 2026
“Upon arriving in Canada, I harbored a strong ambition to become a licensed dentist, yet lacked proper guidance due to my unfamiliarity with anyone in the field.
Recognizing that many students face similar hurdles, I am motivated to assist them in taking a step closer to their dream.”
