Not good.

Not good.

Big Hoss

Why?

 

[Big Time Hoosier]

Why?

It’s hard enough getting into endo right out of school when you’re not a foreign grad.

Wait, are you getting your DMD from an American school?

Many residencies publish their resident’s names. Some even publish bios. Research the programs you are thinking about applying to and look up each resident. You can use wayback machine to look up past classes if the URL has not changed.

Yea, I think this is the case. I know one that got in right away. It’s definitely possible. Like AllDAT said, research some schools and see which programs have experience with it. Those will be your best bet.

Yes

Yes

If you’re going from foreign DDS to US DDS program to endo application, then yes you may have a shot. Like I said, look up past residents and you’ll notice patterns.

Here is hope. One of my friends who is graduating this year as IDP successfully matched to an Endo program. Just do the best as you can.
