Hello there,

I am a graduate of 2017, who had applied to ortho program in 2017, only got two interviews and didnt match. Now I am working as a general dentist, and I would like to reapply for my long desired program again. As you all know, the most important component of successful application would be GPA, and maybe connection? Anyway, I cannot improve those factors such as gpa, research experience, recommendation etc. And, the only thing that I could do better would be ADAT and GRE and perhaps better personal statement. I know not many programs require ADAT but take a look if submitted, and they require GRE but I honestly dont know how having high GRE score would matter much (I already have soso, ok GRe score). I am going to take both exams, but if I would like to focus one more than another, should it be ADAT? Or, do two of those dont matter anyway?

Thanks for your comment.
