Hi, I am interested in applying for perio. I would love to hear some tips and honest suggestion about

my chances to get into a program and
what I could do to improve my chances?

I graduated 2009, just finished a year of GPR
My part 1 is 86%
My part 2 is 80%
School GPA 3.4

Do you think doing a second year of GPR will improve my chances?
any other sugguestions?

Thank you for your help!

Are you international trained? I think your grades/board scores look good as-is. But then again, I'm not applying to perio.

Good luck,
Hup
