Candidate:

Mr. Track Star-Techie

About Me:

I am a former scholar-athlete at UCLA and I am interested in pivoting my career to pursue a DDS-MBA dual degree to become a dentist. Today, I work in Sales at a Top 10 Tech company. I am not the best test taker and I am hoping to use my DAT to waive my GMAT/GRE test requirement + my extras to get into a top dual program for business school.

I know this is a very unique situation and I have 1-2 years to finish my dental pre-requisites so I am truly open to honest feedback, advice, and past experiences. All of the schools listed are schools that have dual (DDS-MBA) programs. I will be applying for B-School while I am in Dental School.
