I personally had taken all of these factors into consideration before I even started applying, however, growing up in Boston, I have always wanted to go to BU dental. It was my top choice, and therefore an easy decision. But not everyone had a clear cut top choice before they started applying, so I'm interested in knowing what others are basing their decisions on.
 
Interesting results thus far. I guess another factor I forgot to put up there is family reasons - like spouse's job or kids' school, but that could be grouped together with location.
 
It's all about location, location, location.
 
you should have put a category about research interests.
 
Three things, location, great clinical and awesome facilities...
 
My reasons were that:
This is where I have always wanted to go
Location
Amazing facilities
Amazing faculty
Will receive great clinical experience


But, of course, I could only select one.
 
BUFFALO!!!

My reasons were:
1. Amazing facilities
2. Great research and reputation
3. Cost

This is going to be a long and fun 4 years 😱

And the winner is.......LOCATION. 😎
 
If you're really stuck, flip a coin - heads for school A and tails for school B. If your initial reaction was slight dissapointment, say for school A, then you know that school B is probably your secret preference.
 
For me - location, student - faculty relationships, clinical experience, and just the general "this is where I'm supposed to be" feeling.
 
Well, I guess this is good for me, but I chose ULSD for every reason except the only school that accepted me. The one I ultimately went with was I'll receive great clinical experience.

This is where I have always wanted to go
Financial reasons
Location
School reputation
Amazing facilities (soon to be much better)
Amazing faculty
Will receive great clinical experience
 
Good participation on this poll. Want to keep it around as second rd acceptances will be rolling in.
