Waitlisted Best 2 year avg: 89.5% DAT: 21/22/19 ABS: Competitive Interview: Felt the worst of the ones I have completed. Prefer in-person interviews, and being able to converse with a panel. Also, could not get used to staring in the webcam haha. Will be removing my name from wait list for McGill. All the best to everyone!

DPH replied to Negura Bunget's topic in Dental Student General Discussions
Most US OMFS Programs will only accept students who attended Canadian or US Dental schools. -

Thanks everyone for the advice so far. It seems as though UWO would currently be my last choice, if I am lucky enough to receive an acceptance there. Are there any schulich students or alumni that can speak to what UWO has to offer ?

What are the highest paid 9-5 specialties?
DPH replied to notagunner's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
There is actually a lot more variability in dentistry then people give credit too, but yes of course that pales in comparison to all of the med specialties. I am having a little trouble with what you mean by surgical type vs medical type. All I know is I enjoy working with my hands, and look forward to the potential autonomy in opening up my own clinic. There are very few medical surgical specialties that allow you to do both, especially in Canada. However, I will carefully weigh out my options depending on the acceptances I get. I am sure I would be happy to be a part of either professio -

DPH replied to notagunner's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Yeah - usually OMFS residencies are 4-6 years (depends whether you want the MD) and there are only 6 spots in Canada which is true. It is competitive probably on the same level as ROAD specialties in medical school, but is definitely doable if you aim for it in the beginning. The reason for this is that there are a fair number of US OMFS residencies that accept Canadians as well. US and Canadian programs can take students right after dent school, but some prefer the student completes a 1 year GPR beforehand. As for med vs dent... I am having hard time deciding. I feel like both careers are -

DPH replied to notagunner's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Hello, I am not in medical school, but have interviewed at both medical and dental schools in Canada this cycle. I was just curious how oral and maxillofacial surgeons do in terms of pay and worklife balance compared to purely med specialties like ENT? Thanks! -
Hello all, I know this thread has been initiated before and i have looked at those threads already but wanted to create a more recent thread to see your thoughts. Here are my pros and cons for each: McGill + Cheap Tuition (97k) + High Specialization Rate (30% of grads) + Pass/fail curriculum +Montreal is a great place to live +/- Small class size - Proficiency in french by clinical year - combined curriculum with med first 1.5 years UofT + Great place to live + amazing clinical experience from year 1 + Renowned faculty and alumni networks + Internation

McGill 2020 DMD Interview Invites/Rejections
DPH replied to Crywithme's topic in Dental Student General Discussions
Yes got off the wait list last Thursday! My stats are: Result: Admitted off wait list Pre-req GPA: 3.85 DAT: made cut-offs Feeling out of interview: thought it went pretty well, felt genuine in my responses. Had some actors actually give me a thumbs up after some of the role play stations. A couple stations felt pretty average, but the break stations definitely helped in re-organizing my game plan. Think i performed relatively well in the interview given my lower OOP pre-req GPA. OOP Comments: Felt good coming out of interview, felt much worse about it a couple w -

When is the deadline to respond to the initial offer? There may be a wave after that. -

At what rank on OOP waitlist do you think you're guaranteed entry? Asking because I dont know if I want to throw down a hefty deposit for another program. -

What rank are all the OOP waitlisted and how do you find out? Also if you were a rank < 3 on OOP waitlist, would you have a good chance?
