What up everyone,
It must be an act of God but both of these schools have gotten back to me and now I have a decision to make. I have until this Wednesday to make the final call. I'm a CA resident btw and I live in norcal.
I've heard from some alumni students from UOP but I haven't heard from many UCLA grads...for those that are at UCLA now, can you please chime in on how you like it? From what I've heard about UOP students...they're great clinicians, flat out. UOP doesn't have specialty programs so the DDS students get exposure to the complex cases. What do people say about UCLA?
And I know the UC schools are heavily based on research but I'm not too big on research, I want to become an excellent dentist. Does UCLA produce good clinicians? I keep hearing that the complex cases at ucla go to the specialty students so the DDS students don't get that much exposure and in turn do an extra year in GPR. Is that true?
Is anyone else going through a similar thought process on which school to choose?
I would greatly appreciate some advice/ people's experiences.
Thank you
