Hey I was curious about how competitive it is to get accepted into an out of state GPR or AEGD residency program??
I currently attend the OU College of Dentistry and don't plan to stay in Oklahoma City. My grades are good, I have a 3.7 halfway through second year and I help out with ASDA events (even though I think ASDA is kinda dumb but whatever) and go on mission trips. I also have pretty good relationships with clinic faculty who I could get recommendation letters from.
Is there anything else I should do maybe 3rd or 4th year that will help out my chances of being accepted?
And what about visiting the program and getting into contact with the director? Should I do that towards the end of 3rd year as well?
I am specifically interested in programs in NYC, LA, or Chicago so if anyone has applied or been accepted could you share some light on the subject!! thanks 🙂)
