Yes. Sure. Make sure you are top 10 in your class and national board in the 0.5%ile.

well, the good news is.... Part 1 for us is pass/fail

The bad news is... theyr probably gonna start paying more attention to part 2 scores since this one isn't pass/fail (yet) hahaha

There's no "cosmetic dentistry" specialty but Pros is the only specialty that teaches cosmetics. So, Pros.

Otherwise, become a GP and limit yourself to cosmetics.

Part I boards are going pass/fail in 2012 so it'll be c/o 2014 for those schools that take it after the 2nd year (most) and c/o 2015 for those who take it after the 1st year. It's been in the works for a while now.

oh really? Didn't know that.

Then that means they are applying before graduation... how do they know thier class rank then?

Class rank is based on whatever it is after D3
