Post:
School 1: UMN
OOS
Pros:

• COA is 520k
• Large City
• Cold (idc)
  I want to specialize not sure how good the school is (i need insight on this)

Cons:

• A bit old
• Graded

School 2: Boston University
OOS
Pros:

• COA is 520k (with what they are giving me)
• Large City
• Cold (idc)
  I want to specialize, not sure how good the school is (I need insight on this)

Cons:

• Graded

Summary: I don't have any attachment to either city; I'm from LA, so both seem relatively far. Their CoA, based on what I've been offered, is very similar, so it's not a factor. I want to become a great general dentist, but I want to go to the school that gives me a better shot at specializing as well. I've seen the "you can specialize from any school," but I was wondering if any of them make a big difference in that, as some other schools have a high match rate to top residencies.

How are you going to pay for 520k? You're capped at 200k of federal loans.

Instruments? Simulation technology? What do the students say about cases and interaction with graduates and international dentists?
