I'm struggling to decide between these two schools. Both would be similar pricing and not near any of my family. Please let me know of any pros or cons of each!

Hello! I made this thread to answer any questions anyone may have, and also for all of you to connect and discuss. I am a former postbacc student, now current dental student. Please let me know if there's anything I can answer or help with.

Help me choose between NYU, Temple or Touro please. Factors are cost, area, clinical experience, overall opinions from students in terms of happiness and how they feel at the school, and anything else that is important to know.

I was fortunate enough to interview at an MD school (LKSOM) that I really want to attend. As I await their decision, I thought of possibly writing them a letter of intent, especially since they mentioned during the interview day that they like receiving letters. What do you guys think? I don't...

I’ve been accepted to Temple and IUPUI and would really appreciate any input from grads, current students, etc. regarding clinical and academic experiences? I’m out of state for both so I don’t know much about either school besides what I’ve learned online and during my interview. Thanks!

Hey guys! I was lucky enough to get accepted into both Temple and VCU for dental school. I'm out of state for both schools and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to choose between the two. I enjoyed the interview for both schools, but I was only able to have an in person experience at VCU, so I...

Hi everyone — I need some guidance in deciding what school to attend next year. I loved BU the most out of my interviews, but have read quite a few negative things about the school on SDN. Any BU students have feedback on this? In terms of financials, I would get in-state for Rutgers after the...

Which would you choose between GW and Temple BCHS post bac?

In terms of clinical experience, out of Temple, Maryland, Detroit-Mercy, and University of Kentucky which would be at the top and what makes them special? Do they schedule their own patients? Place implants? Have their own chair? Each schools individual requirements? If current dental students...

Saw there was a thread for the LKSOM Post Bacc Program so thought I would start a specific thread for the College of Science and Technology program. I see their interviews start in January so was curious to know if anyone has heard anything from them or knows much about the program.

I’m torn between these three schools!! I’ve been accepted to Temple and Jefferson...still waiting from Salus. With my stats, I think I should be accepted.

Greetings all, I couldn't find a thread for the 2019 - 2020 class at the Temple / LKSOM Post-Bacc program so I thought I'd start one. Good luck to everyone applying!

For current pod students, especially Temple and Western ones, is a car necessary for everyday types of things (i.e. getting to school, running errands, etc.), or even during the clinical years? I know carpooling is an option, but Im trying to find the most "commuter-friendly" school among all...

Can I get accepted with one C in PE? The rest of my grades are mostly A's, I have a 4.0 GPA. Should I still try to apply even with that one bad grade? Thank you.

Was really stuck between off and on campus but eventually decided for on-campus bc of convenience and social aspect. Have any of yall lived there, and if so, do you regret it? What're some pros you get from being on-campus vs off-campus?

I got accepted to both Jefferson and Temple. I'm torn on which one to choose though. Which one is better and why?

Hi everyone! I currently have a tough decision, and was very fortunate be accepted into both Temple and VCU's school of medicine. Although I am very thankful, I am now tasked to choose one of these schools! At the moment, the cost of attendance for both schools are pretty much the same (VCU is...

Hi Everyone! Does anyone care to share any insight on these two programs, which one may have an advantage over the other, and/or personal experiences? I'm a PA resident, so Temple (St.Luke's program will be slightly cheaper, especially with the St. Luke's 10k scholarship). For Temple's program...

Hello! I am CURRENTLY in a 1-year SMP, and would really like to get the ball rolling in terms of beginning medical school, or at least have a semi-guarantee that I'll be in medical school ASAP. That's where Temple comes in. I realize that Temple's program requires a 3.6 throughout the next...

Hello Everyone! First of all thank you to everyone who took the time reading this. I've just completed stage 1 of my journey to getting into a postbacc and - hopefully - MD program, which is landing a stable job that allows me time to volunteer at the local hospital. I'm looking to submit my...

Recently scheduled an externship at Temple and was dismayed to hear that Temple is only interested in taking residents who have completed an intern year. Anyone know if this is the case, and if there are other programs with the same mentality?

Hi! I got accepted into the Adelphi/NYU 7 year dental program as well as the Temple/Kornberg 7 year dental program. Aside from the cost (which isn't what I'm basing my decision off of) I was looking for input on either of these programs. I know NYU has a bigger name but is that something that...
