I got accepted to both Maryland and UPenn dental school, and I'm really not sure which school to decide on. Also, I'd rather buy a new laptop than put down two deposits at a time.
UPenn was my dream school since 10th grade; I've been craving to go to an IVY school. But, Maryland has great facilities and, even if it doesn't make a big difference, they offered a small scholarship which makes myself feel important.
However, I'm applying to the Army DCHPSP, so I don't think money will be a factor in my decision. (I'm out-of-state for Maryland.)
I'm also looking forward to specializing 3~4 years after graduating from dental school. (after finishing up my obligation for the army)
The last factor I'm considering is whether the city is safe to live in. During my interview, I felt both Philadelphia and Baltimore were pretty intimidating to live in. My undergrad school is University of Virginia, which is in a very safe and rural city.
Can anyone give me some good advice? Thanks!!
