I just finished my first semester in dental school, and I have to start thinking about summer plans. I would prefer to abstain from doing research, since it would end up costing me a lot in living expenses for the summer, but I don't want to kill my chances of being accepted to an Ortho program someday. Is it possible to be accepted without dental research experience ( I do have previous, unrelated research experience) if you are well rounded in other ways? I plan on joining clubs, doing community service, travel charity work, and getting involved in the Ortho clinic at my school, and my GPA this semester was a 3.94 (which I will try my best to keep up).
Any thoughts? I know how competitive it is, just hoping I can get away with spending some time with my family (and less money) this summer!
