Hey Everyone
I graduated from dental school in 2015.
Dental School GPA - 3.4
Class Rank- Ranked in the last 30% of the class
Undergrad GPA- 3.78
Barely any leadership or research awards.
Passed all the NBDE and NERB examinations.
In the two years I have been working, I haven't enjoyed much of it. I can't pinpoint to one reason.
I do enjoy Ortho cases. I wished I worked harder in dental school or did a GPR after school. At this point, I really wish I could do ortho because I actually enjoy it but with my stats I am not sure if I even stand a chance?
The second thing I enjoy is Perio. I do like treatment planning and placing implants. But I am not sure if I will be a big fan of gum surgeries. Honestly, I am young and I want to educate myself further. So I am asking for your opinion and any help that I can get. Do you think I may have a chance at either Ortho or Perio residency?
Thanks!
