Hey Guys,

I've spent the past few weeks deliberating in agony on which school to go to. I'm so grateful to have received the acceptances, yet, I'm having a heck of a time deciding. I would appreciate it if anybody would be willing to share their thoughts.

Thanks!

Nova> Case> NYU

Case OFF COURSE,

1) P/F, hands down ( even when boards are P/F, actually especially now that boards is P/F).

2) Case is the hardest to get in among the three

3) Good reputation


I hope you go with Case, b/c now you are looking at this decision from an undergrad point of view, but when you become a D student, you will notice there are some other factors to consider too.

Thanks everybody for your responses. I just want to clarify that these acceptances were for dental school. May I ask if you could clarify with regards to the D student factors?

The way I see it is that Case has a great reputation in dentistry. It has small classes and the teachers seem to be involved. The big downside is that it's in Cleveland.

NYU is also a good school. Large class sizes. Amazing city. The tuition between the two is similar, but the living costs at NYU will be undoubtedly higher.

Oh the decisions!

I agree, i think if you eliminate NYU because of the cost, CASE is the best option because of
1) class size
2) Pass/Fail course
3) rich history behind school
4)Cleveland's public health system ( which is one of the biggest and most effective ones in the country)

Not to derail the thread, but I just got an interview with Case, and my status on AADSAS shows "Interview Invite." Will I receive a letter or email stating directions to schedule the interview? Do you think I should give them a call now to schedule it or wait for communication.

Thanks for your help guys.

BTW the numbers for Nova are completely wrong its probably like 350k when all is said and done... maybe 300k is you live in a box for 4 years.

Don't forget that CASE is part-PBL. If you like it, then good for you. But if you don't like it, its something to consider whether you want to attend the school.
