Hello 2nd year here. Have been studying pretty hard and have got OK grades. I am around 40 out of 120 in my class. I have heard that this next year is the hardest and is a great year to "separate yourself from the pack". It seems that to climb to the specialization range will be an incredible amount of work where I will have to manage my time perfectly and drop some social events/ working out/ relaxing time. I say these sacrifices because I still tried pretty hard to get even this rank. My class is extremely competitive. I am wondering two things:
1.) Do you think I could push into the specialization range if I tried really hard?
2.) Is Trying that hard and sacrificing my quality of life worth it if I am not 100% set on specializing?
Is trying this hard going to make me a better dentist or diminish my quality of life and habits that would ultimately make me a better dentist?
Thanks
