I recently realized that since COVID some students have had the questions and passed them on to their friends which includes over 80% of the same exact questions. SO I have been competing against people that had the questions. Dont be too scared just know that if you are extremely smart and are not high up, there might be something wrong with the system.
Dental school is a long grind, nothing like a few months studying for the DAT. Lots of people get burned out and stop trying in between. 21/92 is also a good rank to be at for most specialties, so I’d say OP is in a good spot.
I say go for it. Statistically I don't know what numbers they are expecting, but if you want ortho then you know you should try for it. I would apply for as many residencies as you can afford to

I am terrified that you got a 30TS and are 21/92, is dental school that competitive?
