Will a Past Dental School Rejection Affect My OMFS Residency Chances?

If you were not accepted into a dental school's predoctoral program, would that make it less likely for you to be accepted into their OMFS residency program later on?


I'm basically wondering—do program directors ever check with their school's predoctoral admissions committee to see if an applicant had previously applied and been rejected, and why?


Just trying to understand how much (if at all) a past rejection might affect residency chances.

Not at all. Kill the CBSE and be likable.

No, two separate admissions committees between predoctoral and OMFS.

I matched OMFS someplace I got waitlist/rejected from for dental school

OMFS program directors & admissions committees have zero time to care about this.

Absolutely not.
