why preround

Advice ages fast in dentistry.

Most services pair you with someone years removed from the process, often not in dentistry at all. Dental admissions have changed. What schools and programs look for keeps shifting. Your mentor should know what they want now.

Been in your seat

A mentor who recently applied to dental school or matched into a residency, not someone handing you generic advice.

Where you're headed

Dental residents and practicing dentists who are where you want to be, from admissions through the match.

Current by definition

They went through this recently. They know what schools and programs want today.

Real mentorship shouldn't cost thousands. Preround is priced for people still in training.
