Just want to get some advice on how a timeline would look for a D4 that has recently taken interest in the OMFS specialty. Here's my situation:
Starting D4 year, No CBSE taken, No externships, Fair number of extracurriculars, GPA 3.99, Rank 1/~100. Been on the fence about OMFS for a couple years, but recent clinical experiences have really boosted by interest.
From my understanding, my plan would include about ~3 externships this fall/winter, start studying now for CBSE in Fall, apply to non-cat when available, and hopefully apply to categorical positions in the 2026-2027 cycle.
I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback/insight into this situation from you all!
