Are you worried about being rejected to dental school, or are you reapplying?

If so, this episode will be perfect for you! I interviewed @shaneesesmiles and she delivered such helpful content!

Shaneese is a dental student at the University of Creighton, but had to reapply to dental school after being denied admission on the first go around.

After the initial rejection, Shaneese was resilient and didn’t give up on her dreams of becoming a dentist.
