Hi as title says I'm kind of thinking about dental school because of OFMS. I I’ve shadowed an OMFS in both the office and hospital setting and I have been hooked on the complexity and investment into each patient. Ever since I got to see a split osteotomy planning and actual 8 procedure I just...

Unpopular opinion, but needs to be said because everyone is thinking it All these programs begging for non-cats, yet won’t even **** on your application if you have a slightly below average CBSE Nobody wants to do a non-cat anymore, if they can avoid it - for good reason. You could be an all...

I'm applying this upcoming application cycle, and I was wondering if INBDE scores are required before submitting your PASS application. Our school only allows us to take the exam during the fall semester, and, due to testing center availability, there is the potential my exam date may be close...

I am currently finishing my last year of payback for my military scholarship. I am at a vital point in my life where I have two roads I could take. If I was younger and applied to OMFS immediately after dental school into military, then that is a given path. However, I didn't do that route and...

The position is no longer available

Hi guys, I've been lucky enough to be accepted into both dental schools. I am from Los Angeles and would obviously have to move out either way and both schools are an equal distance away from me but I was wondering: which school would be better for me career-wise especially if my plan is to...

I figured I would post an update to my very own program as I am now approaching the final weeks of my residency. I can genuinely and boastfully say that I think Cook County (Aka John Stroger Hospital - but nobody who actually works there calls it that) is one of the best residency programs in...

In addition to CBSE, grades, LORs, and extracurriculars, the personal statements is said to be a big part of your application. I understand this might seem intuitive to some, but I was hoping faculty, residents, or recent applicants could provide personal insight into how they think an OMFS...

Now that I have successfully completed the CBSE, I am starting to look into externships. Right now, I am mostly interested in 6 year programs for personal reasons. However, I am by no means disinterested in 4 year programs. I don't know what the future holds, but I would like to have a strong...

Historically, there's been an "ideal" CBSE score for OMFS applicants to shoot for, whether that was 70/200+ or 80/225+. My question is that, now that the scoring has gone to an equated percent correct, what is the new "ideal" score for a competitive applicant? Is there a conversion chart to...

In the best interest of all of us who took the CBSE in July of 2022 and were left in the dark about the competitiveness of our scores. Please be truthful in your responses, this is a team effort!

I did not get a score that I want on July 2022 CBSE exam and am trying to decide whether I should just apply for a categorical position or look for a non-cat position and apply next cycle. I believe that with my score (60-65 old score), I might get a few interview invites if I am lucky, but have...

Hello everyone, I am a non-traditional incoming D1 that has always dreamed about oral surgery. For a while now, I have been selling myself on the idea that I would be happy just to get to dental school and have my own practice. I spent a lot of time resenting myself for being too afraid earlier...

Looking for information from those with an understanding of how this process works, specifically for OMFS residencies. How do programs create their rank list of applicants? I know everywhere is probably a little different, but there are also bound to be similarities and overriding patterns...

I am starting my D3 year and am putting together an application to extern at a few programs, but something that I have seen on several school's websites was that they want you to provide them with a letter of intent. In my experience letters of intent are usually reserved for your first-choice...
