Looking for input from current students at either Touro or Stony:
They both would be around the same cost since I would be commuting to Touro, and I like how Touro has state of the art digital dentistry and brand new equipment, as well as being close to home surrounded by friends and family...
Hey guys! I haven’t seen a thread for students that have accepted their seats at Stony yet and was wondering how many people are commuting or deciding to look for a place off campus?
Hello.
I would like some input on these two schools. Let’s say that the cost of attendance is equal and so is the cost of living (I only want to know about the merits of the schools and their programs). Which school would be better in terms of neurosurgical mentors, opportunities, and research...
Hello everyone,
I had a question about tuition for New York State schools (such as the SUNYs, Einstein, Stony Brook, NYMC). I have heard conflicting things online, so does anyone know if they allow students to claim in-state tuition for M2 and onwards? If they do, can someone explain how that...
Hi! So i’m currently deciding between Stony Brook Dental and Touro Dental and I was wondering how important each pro is in making a decision on which school to go to.
Touro: I know that touro has amazing technology and I know that tech has a major influence in dentistry so I wanted to know how...
Can anyone give me any insight into how the General Surgery program at Stony Brook, NY is? I have been hearing/reading mixed things about it and would love to hear the experience of someone who knows more about it.

Would you do training there again?
Family friendly?

Hi all,
Very fortunate to get acceptance to these two state schools.
Without considering costs, is there is a perceived difference in the quality of these two (in terms of match competitiveness, general feelings towards, etc.)
Here are some quicks pros/cons I jotted down.. Let me know if I...

I'm currently committed to UCONN but I recently was accepted to Stony Brook's dental school. I am New York State resident so I would be paying state tuition for Stony all 4 years and in-state tuition for UCONN for 3 years and out-of-state tuition for the first year.
However, after calculating...

I have recently been accepted to Stony Brook and Drexel. I'm extremely excited to get both acceptances but both of them were going through curriculum changes and I'm not sure how much of a guinea pig I want to be. Here's a summary of their changes:
Drexel: They just changed from Traditional to...
Hi everyone, I'm so excited to say that I was lucky enough to receive acceptances this cycle and I am currently down to between MWU-AZ or Stony Brook. I am looking for honest insight into the two programs based on the following Pros and Cons.
Things to note: I am a NY resident and not...
I was recently accepted to both UCONN and SBU. I love both schools. Both had a great atmosphere, friendly faculty, have similar curriculums including classes with the med students as well as a small class size (48 vs 46).
I am IS for SBU and OS for UCONN. Cost difference would be about 30k...

I have a week to decide between these schools and have no idea what to do. I'm IS at both and cost will more or less be the same. Both are close to home, but Stony Brook is more convenient in terms of travel time as I could easily drive home as opposed to having a 1.5 hr MTA commute. Both have...
Hi all, thanks for opening my thread! I am currently accepted to Rosalind and waitlisted at the rest of the schools listed. I am also waitlisted at Albany and FAU but I think they rank the lowest on my list so for simplicity I'm not including them. I am very lost as to what I would pick between...
I've been fortunate enough to be accepted at both Stony Brook and Downstate. I've checked out previous threads, but a lot of them seem outdated, especially given the recent curriculum changes at each of these schools. I was wondering if anybody could help me make a decision.

Anyone currently enrolled or completed this program?
I've been accepted to this program, Columbia's postbacc premed program and Harvard extension premedical program.
Columbia's program seems outrageously expensive, and Harvard extension seems a bit too informal?
So I think Stony Brook may be...
Hi all,
I was definitely going to commit to GWU but recently found out that Stony Brook essentially paid for tuition and a little more, meaning I'll only pay ~10k/year compared to GW's ~40k. Regardless of where I go, my parents are willing to cover it, but cost is still somewhat an issue since...
