Hi,
1. Unable to comment on prospects per se. Yes but the general consensus on the ground is – the govt wants to keep costs low, so are flooding with foreign dentists. Don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon.
So you’ll probably have to work harder and longer in the future if this keeps up, for less. That’s my guess anyhow.
2. Can’t say for sure – but generally I’d also think that putting one of them second will certainly affect your chances of whatever you put as second choice.
