Question about applying for specialty programs.
Is it just like undergrad to grad applications?
like you have to get involved in a gazillion clubs, be president of this and that, do this club and that club, brown nose all the professors for brownie points?
Maybe it's just me, but at least at my school (a UC school), everybody was really fake. It might be because of the big class sizes, but everybody was trying to outdo another person, backstabbbing and plotting to become president of this or coordinator of that while taking up all of the professor's time and acting like he/she was interested in their research just for letters.
Is it all of that bs again in dental school? I'm not too social and I just don't want to have to go through all that fake crap again.
And through how much of your dental school do you have to rely on other people?
Thanks
