NBDE part 1/ class rank for endo

[johndental]

what kind of class rank/nbde 1 do you need for endo.

I have been getting mixed feedback regarding this at school and I thought maybe some stuff was published. I'm just 1d but I would like to keep my options open. I know its not as hard as ortho but I am trying to figure out what range the academic indicators fall into.

I do know that endo departments like to take people who have been out of school for a couple of years.

John, I think you could get some solid stats just by contacting some admission directors at several programs you are interested in.

Furthermore, it'll get your name on their mind, and that can never be a bad thing.

I think getting into endo right out of school is harder than getting into ortho. After a gpr that's a different story. At least from my school, the lowest class rank that's ever gotten into endo right out of school since I've been in school is 5/73. Usually its top 3. And everyone I know whose gotten in has had a master's degree as well, either earned before dschool or during (like one in oral biology--you can get that at my school during dschool if you work extra hard). Lowest board of anyone I know getting in right out of school is a 94. I've been following endo applicants and acceptances from my school since before I started.

After a gpr I've heard of people not even in the upper 1/2 of their class getting in, with boards scores well below 90.
