I'm looking to apply to residency programs next year and had a few questions.
Does it make sense to apply to both match and non-match? If so, should you set it up so you put your stronger programs non-match, and weaker more "safety" programs ad match, because you don't want to hear from them until hearing from the stronger non match programs?
Also, can you get letters of rec only from school faculty? Or can you get it from outside dentists? is that frowned upon? I was thinking of starting to shadow a dentist on weekend, or even using the dentist I got my dental school LOR from to do another one.
Thanks!
