Sooooo what are some of those schools that pumps a lot of students to specialty programs after 4 yr DDS or DMD???

I thought landing a residency is more based on how hard you worked in your dental school rather than WHICH dental school you went to

It's the students who decide whether or not they want to specialize.

It does all depend on the student, but some schools such as UCONN have a high placement rate in specialties or a residency. They place about 90 percent of their students in a specialty or residency every year, which is higher than most, which are usually less than half.

They have over 40, probably will have 45 every year from now on, but I am just telling you percentages. Three years ago they had 9 out of 40 going on to specialize in oral surgery, and that is more than some schools that have 100 plus students, so I was just saying. A question was asked, and I was answering it.

i think columbia does too. i could be wrong

I have heard UCLA's rate is high.

Last year Columbia's rate was 95% of students. This includes GPR and AEGD as well though. But still impressive. 10/11 for ortho and I think it was and 10/12 for OMFS.

Rate is far less important than frequency. You can readily specialize from any school, and there are far more important things to select your dental school for than a loose correlation that graduates of that school are more successful at specializing.

I for example, went to a school renowned for being a "clinical school" with few students specializing fully knowing I intended to specialize, and managed to match into a top OMFS program without issue.
