Hello everyone. I'm new to SDN, but frequently browsed the forums back when i was applying to dental school. Over the past year Ive become more interested in OMFS decided to give the cbse a shot last february to help prepare for my application. I had some questions about OMFS applications and my statistics.
I am a junior in dental school right now. My cbse score from last february was a 62. I wasn't able to take it in Aug 2015 (even though i had prepared for it), because of a family emergency. I am studying in the USA on a F1 visa (canadian). I have an overall GPA of about 3.96, which should have me somewhere in the top 10% (i hope).
With all that considered (cbse, gpa, citizenship), what would be your assessment on the likelihood of landing interviews and potentially matching? I know the sub-65 on the cbse hurts me, but i am not sure by how much. I'm attending one of the 'ivy' dental schools, but i'm not sure how much weight that actually holds (i don't mean to sound pretentious by mentioning this).
Should I seriously consider retaking the cbse even though finding time to study for it is going to very tough.
Thank you for all your insight.
