Ok so please direct me to the right place for this, if this isn't it, but I have a few questions about OMS.
I am a DDS1 and am debating OMS as an option.
My grades this year have been rough in the sciences (B's and the occasional C) but the dentistry/clinical courses have been solid A's. GPA is low 3 something. Let's say I can pull it up to mid 3's by the time I would be applying to OMS.
1. Will I have any chance at OMS having gotten bad grades in the basic science classes?
2. Do I need to be doing lots of volunteer work to be competitive for OMS? Or is there something else I should look into doing?
3. How does it work now that the boards are P/F?
4. I've heard that you can't really match into OMS straight out of school and you have to work for a couple years or something first, any truth to this?
I'm kinda clueless right now, sorry for any ignorance!
Thanks
