everyone knows that in order to specialize, one must have great board scores, class rank, etc. when all applicants to a program have great stats, how do you set yourself apart from the rest of the pack? i'm planning on getting an ms in oral biology but i'd like to hear some other suggestions. thanks.

Take a hot girlfriend to the interviews with you.
 
hey u know what ????
just be genuine and dont try to be very classy also try to be open to discussions and try to be humorous bcoz ppl here in usa appreciate ppl with a gud sense of humor..while at the interview plaz sit up evenif the person interviweing u luks relaxed and show that ur keen on learning and above all how gettin into this program will help u reach ur professional and personal thershold..
planned approach can get u thru and u can have an edge over others..genuinity and showcasing your ability to learn and ecel in ways diff from others will make u sit up proud in the chair of residency..
pop up for more questions

Interesting for you to give advice about how it is here in the US, then later post asking for advice on which residencies to apply to...during what residency interviewing process here in the states did you obtain this information?

Uh, if "a lot of free time" means taking 15 seconds to click your post history and scroll down the page.

And, guys? Better watch out--he's using the MEAN SMILIE, so this could get serious soon.
 
A good way to stand out is to be a douchebag like ISU_Steve.

You know, act like you know everything about dentisty in dental forums when you haven't spent one day enrolled as a dental student.

Probably would work well for OMFS.

Look at aphistis' picture. He's got a lot of free time.
 
so, does anyone have any suggestions for how to set myself apart from other applicants?

The MS is good. Also, tutor anatomy, do externships, take any electives your school offers related to pathology, anatomy, or OMFS, and don't wear a shiny suit at your interview or act like a tool. Yah-E, I'm looking at you.

Shiat, I just bought my shinny armani suit....I'm also going to wear my new Chanel squared frame sunglasses that covers half of my face. It's all about the fashion man!

Tool? They claim I'm the sharpest in the drawer baby!!
