How difficult is it to get into a GPR or AEGD?

[hellofuturedentists]

I'm sure it varies by program, but does anyone know, in general, how difficult it would be to get into a GPR/AEGD program after dental school in a state you've never lived in? Assuming you pass your boards/licensure exams/etc

While this doesn't help answer the question of how hard it is in state you're not from, I guess it gives you an idea of how many people apply and how many people match at AEGDs and GPRs.

Tl;dr, pretty good.

Sweeeet. Didn't know if that was something people just stayed at their school/home state for.
Thanks dudes!

For more competitive GPRs/AEGDs (like most of the Veterans Affairs GPRs), you need to have a high class rank. For others, you still need to have a decent academic record but don't need like top 20%.

So, more than half get into their first choice? Thats interesting. Thought it would be lower.

ah, thats what I wanted to know. Guess GPA still matters if you want a good GPR/AEGD. I'm only first year but SA AEGD with the VA does interest me.
