dental schools are not ranked
What, you're crazy, dental schools are not only ranked, but they rank them every month!

Check out this website:

www.dentalschoolrankings.com

If you can't access the website, then try to access it during "non-rush" hours (3 - 5 AM). It's a newer site and it's really popular. Good luck. 👍
 
From ADA.org

Dental School Rankings

Dental school applicants should be aware that there are proprietary publications available that purport to rank dental schools according to the quality of their programs. The American Dental Education Association and the American Dental Association advise applicants to view these rankings with caution. The basis for the rankings are questionable, and even those individuals most knowledgeable about dental education would admit to the difficulty of establishing criteria for, and achieving consensus on, such rankings.

All U.S. dental schools are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, and all have their relative strengths. A dental school ideally suited to one applicant might not be appropriate for another. The American Dental Education Association and the American Dental Association recommend that applicants investigate on their own the relative merits of the dental schools they might wish to attend

What joke? Dental school rankings are no jokes! Oh BTW, you'll never be as "kewl" as I, buck Tooth. 😉
 
Don't be tricked by the rankings that put DDS and DMD schools in the same list, because they're not the same. Only a DDS is licensed to perform surgery, but only a DMD can write prescriptions.

But remember that only DMD can do histories & physicals and assess surgical plannings. Sure DMDs don't operate or pick up handpieces, but we're the master minds behind the entire treatment. DDS can only operate or use handpieces after an authorization signature from a DMD.

HUGE difference between DDS & DMD! Be sure to select a school based on what degree they offer.

YES! someone posted a question on how to find the ranking of different dental schools.

Go ahead and bill out all the $20 H&P's you want. I'll be busy doing $2500 bridge preps & $3000 implants. 😉
