I am a young woman from India who is very mature for someone 26. I have always been very serious and a tremendously hard worker. My grandfather and grandmother are dentists, and I lived with them my whole life until I got married to an American veterinarian and moved to the USA. I am a dentist in India, but I realize I am still far from becoming a dentist here in America. I want to become a practicing Orthodontist. We now live in Indiana. But we want to move to XXXX if I am accepted to your program. After completing your schedule, we plan to settle in Seattle, Washington. Perhaps most important to me is that I will be on an equal professional footing with my husband one of these days in the not-too-distant future. I want to make at least as much money as he does, and I want to have a title that is equally well respected. I think that this will be very good for our marriage. I also believe that a healthy, balanced marriage can help one to become a great professional and excel in one's field.
My first choice for graduate study is the MSD Program at the University of XXXX because, after an exhaustive analysis, I feel highly convinced that this professional degree will best prepare me for making the most significant contribution possible to my newly adopted country. I also feel strongly that the University of XXXX is the best program in the country. This degree will also better prepare me to go back to India someday when I am older for volunteer efforts, perhaps after we have grown children who no longer need me all the time. Nothing would bring me greater joy than to help to develop dental care institutions in my native country for people with few economic resources.
Obtaining the MSD Degree at the University of XXXX will enable me to make the entire contribution possible to my society here in the USA, in my native India, and the world. I am a global citizen with cosmopolitan, diverse interests and a humanitarian soul. I would be very honored if I were accepted to your program and have the beautiful opportunity of contributing to the diversity of the academic community as an Indian woman. Since English is a national language in India, I have little to no communication hurdles with Americans. I especially look forward to working with patients from a wide variety of social classes and ethnic backgrounds. I love to make people smile; this is why I have dedicated my entire professional life to Orthodontics.
In addition to my education, I feel strongly that I am an excellent candidate for your program because of my extensive volunteer experience. I volunteered as a 3rd and 4th-year student working in rural parts of my state (Punjab) under the supervision of dental faculty, raising awareness regarding oral hygiene and proper teeth brushing techniques. We used visual aids like posters and written material, and slide shows. In addition to my volunteer work, I also worked as an Associate Dentist for a year and a half in India. I am especially good at root canal treatments, preparing dentures, tooth extraction, and local oral anesthesia. I want to thank you from the bottom of my big heart for your consideration of my application.
