Hey guys, interview season's about to come and I guess many of you who're not CODA graduates must be thinking of the same question that I had when I was applying - Does graduating from a foreign dental school mean that it's impossible for me to get into a residency?
Hell no! And I'm saying that cuz I got in a ORTHODONTICS program last year despite graduating from a dental school in Asia. I got interview offers from more than ten schools across the US and matched to my number one program. And I'm not an orthodontist in my country, just a general dentist who got off dental school for a year.
What I'm saying is, as long as you have the grades and a statement that looks good, it is DEFINITELY possible to receive interviews, even from competitive programs like ortho. I didn't have much faith when I was applying, but from what my experience has told me, never be afraid and lose confidence! If I can do it, so can you. Fight on!
