When applying to dental school does it really matter that much which one you go to? Will the career that you have be affected by which university you graduated from and will the training you receive be that different from school to school?
 
I am in dental school right now and I have asked other students from other schools how their dental school compares to mine. I would say that about 1/3 are as good as mine or better and probably 1/2 a little bit worse than mine and the last 1/6 of schools a lot worse than mine. But this is all relative to what you want out of a dental school. Some schools concetrate more on acedemics while others concentrate more on clinical experiences. Therefore, you have to decide which type of school is better for you. I think my school has a good balance between academics and clinical experiences
