Tips for applying to Orthodontics

[kamsartipi]

Im currently a d3 at a Canadian university wanting to do orthodontics. Class rank is 9th/76, have 1 publication from undergrad (2nd author) and another very very small research assisting position during undergrad. Also currently doing a research project in dental school but not sure if it will be published. Have numerous club leadership positions as well. With that being said, what can I do to ensure that I would get in somewhere (US or Canada)?

Im planning on applying to ortho externship positions this summer as well. Any input is appreciated

You need to take the GRE exam and do well on it! At least 50th percentile. Start thinking about which faculty members you have a good relationship with that would be willing to write you a letter of rec. also start updating your resume now!
