sarcasm, sarcasm! i think it is a sign of insecurity! you need to face some of the facts dude.
"Can you explain what NYU lacks in its didactic course please cause I am not sure what they are talking about."
from what i hear, the didactic portion of nyu's curiculm is much less than other schools. this is what i have heard from your own students. BUT you do learn much more about denitstry than other schools in the first few years.
"I don't think you should pass judgement based upon other people's feeling of it. Give your empression of the school if you have been there and get the whole experience."
why cant i pass judgement? i have spoken to people from NYU, and they dont like it there. their exact words are "if you get into any other school, go there". they are all afraid of getting kicked out after first year. can you imagine any other insitution kicking out the bottom of the class EVERY YEAR? i think that is grounds for a lawsuit.
"NYU is expensive , but so is USc, Tuft, BU or any private school. But where else can you get so much clinical experience facing various cases, patients from all walks of life"
NYU is ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE SCHOOLS even when compared to other private schools. if you want to talk about clinical experience, you can just look at UOP, temple etc. nyu is not the only school that is known for it's clinical profienciency.
"So, don't diss NYU as a last resort school. For many it's a first school."
well, i somehow doubt that people actually choose NYU as their first choice consdiering you can still graduate from other dental schools and be as clinically proficient, maybe even better. lets face it, when i applied to dental school, NYU and boston were my LAST CHOICE. if i did not get into any dental school, i would have gone to these 2. so facts are facts dude, so get over it.
"Let's say it is a bad school, that must mean the students are rather stupid. If they are stupid and you are smart..then you will do really well relative to everyone else. All the better right? Since you will be top of the class, you can get into any specialty you want...right? Your friends must do awfully well if they say NYU does not teach them enough. Golly, they must be geniuses with 4.0 at NYU and is top of the class...must be cause they think NYU does not teach enough."
sarcasm and defensiveness.......all a sign of insecurity. ill tell you something, the speacialty ratio at NYU is much lower than other schools consdiering NYU is grooming you to be a general dentist. my point is that NYU for most is a lst resort, and if the truth hurts, tough.
"I am passionate about this because NYU has taught me alot and has been an integral part in establishing my career. I would surely reccomend NYU to all who wants to take in all the cllinical experience they can get."
i do not doubt your passion for NYU, but let us face facts. NYU in general is a meat processing plant with the shear volume of students. i find it hard to beleive that students are jumping to NYU versus other reputuable public schools that are much cheaper and other reputable private schools. NYU does have good clinical program, but other schools do as well. so to say NYU is the best in terms of clincial competency, is fradulent.
