Hey everyone!
Quick question. So I met up today with the faculty in our oral surgery department, and they informed me that:
6-Year programs:
CBSE and grades and externships are all that really matter
-Research and volunteering is basically irrelevant. It is better to do well on the CBSE and study during my down-time instead of doing research.
-Maybe try to do a few case reports here and there, but don't over-do it
They also claimed that 4-year programs don't care as much as 6-years with regards to your CBSE score
My school is a 6-year program, so my question is (that I didn't ask them):
What makes a good resume if wanting to apply to 4-year programs? Do I have to shadow a lot at the hospital and make connections for strong LORs? Or are the externships the heaviest weighted aspect at 4-year programs?
Thanks so much
