Congrats everyone!

Question regarding FTOS/OFI - is that implying payback for an OFI is consecutive to prior ADOs? I thought I read (in BUMEDNOTE) that OFIs had concurrent payback with prior ADOs, just like FTIS

 

[vellnueve]

No, it’s just implying that it’s not a Navy program

 

[Big Time Hoosier]

Is it just me or does the whole DUINS process get pushed later and later every year?

Big Hoss

It was definitely several weeks later this year. Not sure why.

 

[Dentalkid20]

anyone know the kind of CBSE score they are looking for for OMS applicants? Is it the same as civilian?

 

[caffeine jitters]

Not too sure, but I would say to prepare for it in the same way you would for 6-year civilian programs.

 

[DocHollidayUSN]

To be competitive in the Navy, the CBSE score is around 55 or greater.

 

[vellnueve]

To be competitive in the Navy, the CBSE score is around 55 or greater.

I disagree with this. The last several outservice residents had scores in the high 60s and mid 70s.

Thanks for the reply.. Is this speaking from experience or do you know people that have been through the programs?

 

[SirWinston]

60+ should be the goal. From experience.

 

[Dentalkid20]

Just got my score back. I got a 62 and am ranked 5th in my class. Do you think I should retake before applying in February? @SirWinston @vellnueve

 

[vellnueve]

I’d apply anyway. Retake it too. Report the better of the two.

 

[Dentalkid20]

@vellnueve per usual, thanks for the advice.

There was a Navy OMS applicant with a 97 CBSE in the past. The Navy OMS applicant scores are just as high as (or higher than) civilian scores. With that said, I know for a fact that someone has been selected with a 62 CBSE fairly recently. But that person wasn't right out of school, so they probably had great Navy LORs. I think that you should retake it so long as it doesn't interfere too much with the other things you need to accomplish to graduate and become a competent dentist. Not because a 62 is low, but because with more time, you can obtain a higher score. You could pull out a 70+, 80+, or even 90+ if it's really your goal. And I say this as your direct competition (I'm applying this upcoming cycle too). I only stand to lose something if you do better, but I'd rather be straight with you.

 

[vellnueve]

We had someone with high 50s a few years back but things have evolved.

 

[chompsss]

For those who have been selected for FTIS, in the notification e-mail, are you told which station you've been selected for? For example, if selected for OMS, you could be sent to three different facilities. Are you told which one you're headed to in the original notification, and if not, when did you find out?

 

[vellnueve]

OMS is the only FTIS program with multiple sites. The specialty leader would be the one to ask.

97 CBSE huh? I haven't heard of an applicant breaking an 80 in a long time. Where did this applicant end up?
