Hi all,
I was hoping to continue on with pursuing oral surgery and was wondering the importance of GPA relative to other factors, such as CBSE, research, or externships. Background is that I go to a graded and non-ranked school.
I’ve done relatively good thus far, but I see all these students from pass/fail schools matching and it makes me think I should put even more effort into CBSE studying or other extracurriculars rather than GPA (which would likely ultimately lower it). Because if it came down to it, would GPA still be used as a metric for comparison between applicants when one doesn’t have it? Thank you all in advance for your thoughts!
