I'm wondering what some of you are doing about your choice for dental school. If you are accepted to both your state school and an ivy league or out of state school with a "better" curriculum and training, which are you going to choose and why?
Pros for state school: In-state tuition, no matter the training, everyone comes out a dentist.
Pros for Ivy league: big name, well known and respected, possibly better training, although not guaranteed by any means, getting your name in so your kids might get in later down the road (or so I hear. Most upper schools give priority to sons and daughters of graduates from their respective schools)
Bragging rights.
But are bragging rights worth an extra $100k-$150k in the hole?
