Hi! I'm a current D2 at UB, message me if you have any questions! Also if you're looking for housing at axis 360 I can help with that

Buffalo Vs NYU??? Not really sure which to pick. Im in state if anyone could help with the decision id appreciate it.

I think you should go with NYU, not that it’s a bad thing but if you’re having difficulty choosing you probably know which is the one you’re itching to go to. My guess is NYU so go where makes you happy, you’ll be there for 4 years atleast.

Okay did my masters in Buffalo and pros of living in Buffalo 1) MUCH cheaper than NYC 2) pretty solid art scene, lots of restaurants, people are very friendly 3) UB is an excellent school, amazing facilities - if you are interested in doing research while in dental school UB is an excellent choice. 4) school tuition is far cheaper as well.
no matter how you look at it living in NYC is far more fun than Buffalo, naturally there is more to do and much more exciting things happening too. at NYU you also will have more exposure to unique procedures/patients than you wouldn't have in Buffalo. Ultimately it's up to you, both are solid choices. My main determent would be the tuition/general living expense of NYU/NYC. But if it is manageable for you then go for it oh and congrats on getting accepted to both schools!

The only turn off about NYU is the tuition and the fact that I've heard they're dental school is more self learning. I feel like its not worth it for the tuition. Buffalo is really good but im not sure how i feel about moving away being that i was born and raised in the city. Thanks for the reply btw!

Thank you ! Well i would be living at home with my family at NYU. But I've heard a lot of great things about buffalo and the tuition is much cheaper which is why im leaning more towards buffalo. Im just not sure whether living in buffalo would financial be the same if i was to stay at home and go to NYU. Cost is a major factor for me cause i want to minimize my debt as much as possible.

oh yeah that definitely might change things then! I didn't know you would be living with family, might want to look deeper into the costs ie tuition + rent + food + transportation in Buffalo vs just tuition in NYU

Nope :/

 

[weski8]

Nope :/

I got the "continuing review" email a couple weeks ago, and been trying to hold out hope but it's getting harder by the day

nopee, it's wierd bc admissions said they were interviewing throughout March but idk anyone who received an invite and March is almost over lol but guess I'll still stay hopeful

I've noticed they send out most notices on mondays. Every monday i've been jumping out of my chair every time I get an email. Hopefully they send out another wave the upcoming mondays.

I got that email in November and I’ve still heard nothing even though I sent them 2 letters of interest

Really?? Have you tried calling, reiterating your interest verbally? Have you got the confirmation emails from the letters of interest? I'm rooting for you.

No I didn’t try calling, who do you call? And yes I did get confirmation emails for both my letters

I heard people call the admissions team, rather than emailing to give a verbal update of things, and check out what the status is of their application!

I've called a couple times at their admissions office (the phone number is online) usually someone picks up and takes a notation of your name/that you called. They're very friendly

The only turn off about NYU is the tuition and the fact that I've heard they're dental school is more self learning. I feel like its not worth it for the tuition. Buffalo is really good but im not sure how i feel about moving away being that i was born and raised in the city. Thanks for the reply btw

Hmm. If your family and friends are an important support system for you then choose based on that. I think that’s really important as well. Whatever you do, it’ll be the right choice for YOU all the best !

 

[98dent20]

Yeah I was also wondering if anyone heard anything this month because I got the Continuing Review email in November and sent two letters of interest and havent heard back since.

I was in this situation too this cycle and rn commit to buffalo! The fact that one is treated like a number at nyu according to current students was a huge deterrent. And value for tuition is massive too esp with ds costs

 

[futuredds223]

Sent my letter declining the acceptance. There’s at least one more seat open. Good luck everyone!

[futuredds223]

not sure yet still deciding!

 

[futuredds223]

When did you get your acceptance?

a week ago!

 

[bean6598]

For the people that called admissions and actually talked to someone what did you do? I’ve tried calling twice now and it just says no one is available to answer the phone and I could either leave a message or email them. I don’t want to do either because emailing them never seems to work and leaving a message doesn’t seem very professional. How did you get through to talk to an actual person?

 

[periodt]

congrats! when did you interview?

 

[bean6598]

I know this is a little late, but Admissions told me that the class is currently full. There could be possible movement, but I’m starting to lose hope now

I am an OOS resident (from Detroit, MI) 3.5 GPA, 3.2 sGPA, 21 AA, 22 TS and 19 PAT

What should I do differently, I’ve been doing my weekly calls and letters of interest and changes in my application and still nothing. I just wanna cry at this point …
