As problems go, mine is a pretty damn good one; however, I was hoping for all of your help. I need advice... badly. I narrowed my choices down to two, but for the life of me I cannot decide where to attend. I know this question has been asked before... so forgive me... UPenn or Tufts? I know people say, "Go where you would be the happiest"... but what if I do not know which school would make me happier?

I guess what I am asking is, how do you know where to go?

** To all who have been accepted somewhere, anywhere, CONGRATULATIONS!!**

**To all who are still in the mix, Good Luck! And, not matter what, remember that you ROCK because anyone who wants to be a dentist is wicked in my eyes!**

 
Both are super expensive...GO TO UPENN! 😀
 
I say Tufts:laugh:
It's clinically a very strong school. They will work you over.

This is my outlook, take it for what it's worth:

Go to a school with high stats, and you are competing against them to be in the top of the class.

Go to a school that you have stats higher than, and you have more of a chance to fight your way to the top.

Of course I realize some people don't care to be at the top, this is just my viewpoint!
