MEET YOUR MENTOR

Real experience. Personal guidance.

I'm Dr. Maninder Singh, DDS. My dental journey began in India. I later returned to the United States, completed my DDS at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, and became a dental practice owner in Fair Oaks, California.

I understand how challenging it can feel to explain your background, navigate unfamiliar expectations, and stand out in an interview. I created Beyond Borders Dental Academy to help aspiring dentists prepare with purpose and communicate their own story with confidence.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good questions deserve clear answers.

Do you work with international dentists and traditional applicants?

Yes. Coaching is available for internationally trained dentists seeking advanced standing programs and predental students applying to traditional U.S. DDS/DMD programs.

Are the mock interviews online?

Yes, coaching is designed to be offered virtually. After you inquire, we'll confirm scheduling and the video meeting details.

Will I get a recommendation letter if I shadow?

No recommendation letter is promised or sold. A letter may be considered only after sufficient meaningful professional interaction to support a truthful, individualized evaluation. School-specific requirements also apply.

Does shadowing guarantee admission or accepted hours?

No. Admissions decisions and shadowing-hour policies are set by individual programs. Confirm requirements with each school; we can verify hours actually observed where appropriate.

Are you affiliated with the University of the Pacific?

No. This is an independent mentoring service. Mention of the University of the Pacific describes the founder's education and does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

Do you guarantee dental school acceptance?

No. We help you prepare and present your experiences effectively; admission decisions remain entirely with the schools.
