Hey everyone - wanted to get some advice and get "chanced" for orthodontic residency?

A little about me:
-4th year
-Currently 10th/75 but might either increase or decrease by 1 or 2 spots.
-Rep for the provincial (aka state) dental association for my school
-Founder of ortho club at my school
-President of another major program at my school
-Past president of another club
-Hold 3 other exec positions
-Top 5 in a case competition for a business idea in dentistry
-Publication from undergrad that I published during 1st year of dental school
-around 9 months of research at dental school but no publication
-Another Minor research position during undergrad
-Part of interview panel for the upcoming dental school class
-Going to be working 1 year of GP before residency (if I get in lol)
-Have references from 2 orthos and other faculty

-With that being said, do I stand a chance at less pricey schools?

@DustFreeEraser any tips for applying?

Apply broadly and rank 2 year stipend based (+MSc if you’re into that) higher than 3 years tuition based programs.
