Hi everyone,
I'd appreciate some solid advice from newly graduated OMFS residents, current residents or program directors.

Taking the CBSE later this July and again in March before sending off applications. I am set on OMFS, however need advice on:
I appreciate your time and advice in advance,

Currently a 3rd yr dental student with a 2.9 GPA (right around 50th percentile ranking), great leadership positions, previous work experience as OMFS assistant for a couple of years, and expecting good rec letters. Taking the CBSE later this July and again in March before sending off applications. I am set on OMFS, however need advice on:
- How can I maximize my potential for matching?
- Will my low rankings affect chances of getting externships?
- What is a realistic expectation for programs I can MATCH?
- Can any X factors makeup for the low ranking?
- If it comes down to intern year, where would I have the best shot?
I appreciate your time and advice in advance,
OMFS-hopefull
