Hi everyone! I was just curious if later on you want to apply to specialty or residency programs, does your undergrad gpa play a factor? Would your undergrad gpa be asked for anything anymore once you're in dental school?

Any questions/input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I know that omfs looks at it, i think it really matters for the 6 yr md combined programs though. Yah-e is a great example of how even with a below average gpa there is a way to not let your undergrad gpa hold u back if it isnt great

It's possible, which I guess means no coasting through the last semester. :p

I guess it may matter in OMFS if you are applyig to 6 year programs that have prestigious medical schools, otherwise I think it won't matter. That's what couple of OMS guys tell me and they are already in residency.
