I have been a part of the Pre Dental Consultants team during 3 years of my undergraduate career. Being able to gain mentorship and advising from Ben Babayev throughout my pre dental journey was invaluable. Ben single-handedly guided me through the thousands of twists and turns we face as undergraduate students not knowing where to turn. He helped me throughout my pre requisite courses, my DAT schedule, writing and editing my personal statement, letters of recommendation, extracurriculars, and more. If it weren’t for Ben, I can easily say that I would not have been as well rounded an applicant as I was. I’m grateful to say that this fall I will be attending Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and I owe it all to the Pre-Dental Consultants!

Dental school review
Coach Ben was extremely helpful in every step of my dental school application process. He was able to put himself in my shoes and give out great advice in building an awesome personal statement, applying and interview preparation.
Thanks to Ben and the team I got into my top choices, which were Columbia Dental Medicine and Puerto Rico!

Best Mentor
I joined the Pre-Dental Consultants when I was a Junior in college, and it was probably the best decision I ever made! Before joining, I truly had no clue how to navigate the pre-dental path and also severely lacked confidence in myself and my abilities. However, after joining the Pre-Dental Consultants, I felt as if I finally gained a better idea about what my dental school journey was going to be like/what It should be like.
For me, Ben at the Pre-Dental Consultants was integral in my success throughout the 2022-2023 application cycle. Throughout the entire cycle, Ben was an absolute force of a mentor and made sure to help guide me every step of the way. From motivating me during the most strenuous months of DAT prep, to reading through my 8 personal statement drafts (during his honeymoon, mind you), to holding multiple mock interview sessions with me, to even reading through my insanely long pros and cons lists once I was accepted to multiple dental schools on December 15, Ben completely embodied what it means to be a dedicated and attentive mentor. Even when he was pulling yet another 36-hour shift at his residency program, Ben never failed to respond to my text messages about dental school application related things and also made the time to schedule Zoom meetings with me to answer any of the questions I had. But even more than that, Ben genuinely cared about me and the other students and our success not only as pre-dental applicants but as people too. There were multiple times throughout the cycle where Ben would take time out of his day to send a quick text just to check in on how I was doing to make sure that I wasn’t getting too overwhelmed or stressed. It was through the Pre-Dental Consultants that I not only found myself a coach/mentor, but a new friend in Ben too.
With Ben’s mentorship, I received 7 interview invites, 3 waitlists, and 4 acceptances (the best of which being to my dream dental school, UCSF). It is through his help that I am where I am today. I feel confident in my next steps and know that I have a mentor who is sincerely cheering me on every step of the way!

supportive coaches!
I have loved the layout of the TPC MCAT program. It makes the process feel very approachable because it lays out what you need to do each day. As I begin the application process, I have really enjoyed the support from the coaches with the essay process. It is a very supportive community!

Tailored and Targeted Approaches to Coaching
TPC has been extremely supportive as a coaching program for several reasons. 1. I enjoy the slack page and being able to message coaches in real time. 2. The structure of the program, including content videos, recorded sessions, lives sessions, and office hours enables students multiple avenues of access to information presented in different ways. 3. The knowledge, personality, and experience of the coaches provide support, instruction, and dedicated individual strategy all of which are instrumental in the success of the MCAT, medical school, and beyond.

I loved how helpful the coaches were…
I loved how helpful the coaches were and were always willing to answer my questions through iMessage. They were patient and motivating. I liked attending the UWORLD review sessions, especially. I also liked how I could schedule a one-on-one whenever I needed the help.
