hmm... i dunno. But make sure you have good scores, because endo is becoming harder and harder to get into. Scores in the mid-90s are the norm for endo applications these days.

You can argue about this forever. If you get into a program period, that should be good enough. It's about what YOU put into it. Although the competition to even get an interview is becoming very hard nowadays unless you have excellent overall stats!!

the Army. seriously. the Army endo residents will do 2-3 times the numbers of endo that a civilian resident will do.
that is what happens when the patients must show up to appointments and they don't have to pay for treatment.

on average, how many people apply to endo programs for each school? is there a website where i can find these statistics?

Is Endo more difficult to get into than OMFS now?? They are all pretty much wanting a GPR now too right?

If you search for the AAE website, you can find this information. It is not completely accurate, but gives you a good general overview. There typically seem to be over 100 applications for 3 spots on average for each program.

Are there any endo programs that offer stipend?

The two hospital programs are the only ones, I believe. They are very tough to get in to and certainly will expect experience/GPR.

Ohio State has a stipend of $12,000 a year.

However, I think those root canals would mostly be healthy young males, and trauma. Some elderly with calcified canals, perhaps some kids, but the diversity of procedures would be quite limited despite the volume. My 2 cents.
