What I just posted was probably not correct.

What are you talking about? So 85% of USC students don't become dentists... That's what you're saying. I also believe UCLA has higher than a 90% passing rate. NYU's was like 98% and they have 220 students.

i doubt thats true its prolly just some typical UCLA undergrad who thinks that UCLA is this oh-so-perfect place and tries to jump on every stat they hear that indicates UCLA is better than USC, without asking to see whether its really true..its kind of like the so called fact that USC kids are richer than UCLA kids..when in reality the real statistics show that the median income for UCLA is higher than the median income for USC

Was told at my interview. They said very few students didn't pass the boards the first time.

I also heard about the high passing rate at NYU, I think it's their rigorous curriculum that produce great results. So... Be prepared to get ripped if you decide to go to NYU =]

hahaha another ignorant predent, please check the credibility of your source before posting as written facts
just called brian steele who's the admission director at usc and was told that the most recent class's board passing rate was in the low 90's
of course it's not high 90's like 98%, but definitely nowhere near 15% like op posted lol
ADA will not let a school continue their presence when 85% of their class is failing.
there was a previous issue with graduation rate due to people not finishing their requirements on time but that has been resolved from what i know and it is a completely different story from board passing rate (even those students who didn't get to graduate by May still did pass their board exams and got to graduate by summer)
good luck getting into dental school op. you might need a new dentist's LOR since he seems to be full of crap

It's because NYU kicks out the under-performers after the first year to ensure that the rest of the students will do well on the boards.
another rumor that people say on this forum without really knowing the truth.
what's your source for this statement?
students who are actually attending NYU posted here that this is not true and it's just another rumor which SDN is obsessed with..
how can a school charge student 100k+ for a year and drop so many students (i believe one of rumors on this board said that NYU drops like 25% of students after first year which does not make any sense)
I read from previous posts that NYU used to have some issues but many of current students say that those issues have been fixed and most of students are loving their experiences at NYU.
Every school will have someone who's not fit for the class and one that does not get along with everyone else. These students will come to SDN to vent and make their stories to be true for every students at their schools.
When judging and figuring out which schools to apply, try to contact them directly and also contact current students about their experiences instead of relying on random information from an online forum

another example of rumors gone wrong..(on nyu's "20 percent fail rate")

I'm a 2nd year at USC and i can tell you that no one sued the school and the passing rate was very good...not sure of the exact percentage.
