It is with a lot of hesitation that I post this thread, but I've been told it may be helpful to those with questions about applying for OMS residency.
FWIW, I am the coordinator for an OMS residency program. I am the person that reviews all of the applications and then decides who goes on to the Program Director for interview invitations. I don't want to give away too much info, since I know my own residents are hanging around these boards (yeah, guys, I see you, you can't hide from me). But I want to offer what advice or help I can for those facing the daunting task of applying for residency. I know it's a huge hurdle to get over, and most of it seems like a pointless pain in the rear, but we really do need that information to see what makes you more special than the several hundred other applications we receive. My area of expertise is applications, interview selection, and the ranking process.
So, go ahead, ask me anything. I'll do my best to offer advice and help as best I can.
Edited to add: All of these answers are my thoughts and opinions. These thoughts and opinions have been formed by my experiences at my job, but they're all mine.
