I know there are already a million threads on this subject but here goes. I am currently a 3rd year dental student interested in pursuing a residency at a 4 year OMFS program. I shadowed an oral surgeon in undergrad and was extremely fascinated by the specialty, however; after my first 2 years in dental school, I thought my class rank was too low to even have chance applying (28/100) so I never bothered taking the CBSE. In October I had the opportunity to rotate through my school's OMFS department and my desire to pursue a career in OMFS was reinvigorated. I am currently studying to take the CBSE in February and am going to try to do 2-3 weeks of externships in the spring but I am wondering if I will even have a chance due to my lower class rank. I would be ecstatic to even land a few interviews let alone match on my first try but I fully understand that it might take an internship to boost my application. I am just hoping to get some insight as to what, if any CBSE score will help to make up for my lower class rank and whether or not I would even be able to land an internship with my current stats. Sorry about the long post but thanks in advance for any information!
