Looking into applying for Pros residency this cycle after 4 years Navy and 1 year GP working. Had a few questions and don't know anyone from my graduating class who went Pros.
1. I was around the middle for class rank/GPA. Should I take the ADAT? I've heard most programs don't really care about that test. Planning on applying to the VA programs as well as a few of the expensive programs (NYU, U Pitt etc) as I know I'm not too competitive.
2. Would a Pros rec letter be necessary? I should have some good ones from my past commanders/current boss but I only worked with a Pros prof in dental school 5 years ago so they may not have too much to say about me now. Our Pros billet went unfilled my last year in the Navy so unfortunately couldn't shadow him when I started thinking about specializing.
Thanks everyone.
