Well it's not a done deal yet, but unfortunately I can only afford one deposit. I don't have the luxury to wait and make this choice.

I thought PENN was it. Dream of living in NY still haunting you?

Thoughts of every school are still "haunting" me. I think I need to step back and appreciate that I am one of the lucky few that gets to go to dental school in the first place :luck:
 
I don't know why we're delaying the inevitable. I'd love for you to prove me wrong, but I'm willing to bet a hefty amount of $0.35 that you'll choose Penn.

I think you will end up choosing between PITT or PENN. Though I know you loved undergrad in PITT, I think you just sound more inclined to go to PENN to me 😀

You are correct. I think NYU and Maryland I have ruled out. And that alone was a freaking tough choice.

Yep both schools you let go had something to offer. Great schools.

Go to PENN bro so I can take your seat @ PITT lol!
 
or we can be classmates @ PITT if I hear from them in January! haha

Pitt or Penn, eh, Dantemac? Samesies. You go to one, I'll go to the other, and then we can both switch half-way through. Best of both worlds.
 
Just remember you can't really make a wrong decision. Try flipping a coin, whichever side you end up hoping to come up, that's the one you should choose. lol.

I was just accepted to ASDOH today. That was one of my top choice schools. Now ANOTHER school to weigh on my heart.

Still feel extremely blessed :luck:

What attracted you so much about living in AZ?
 
Actually nothing attracted me to living there. Phoenix was really boring. But it does have weekend proximity to Vegas, San Diego, and Los angeles.

I guess one positive is no snow. I HATE winter. The snow has already claimed one car of mine via accident.

I fell in love with their rotations though. 4-5 months of a full, community health center workload. Dental schools baby you with 2 patients a day in their facilities, but not ASDOH. Also, no midterms or finals...modular learning. No lab work either. So much upside. I also liked the commuter feel, I'd like to be able to just drive away from school after a stressful day. Everyone seemed happy there!
 
Tentatively picked Pitt. In case anyone was wondering or cares... (no one). 😳

Congrats!

You couldn't have gone wrong with any of the schools you were accepted👍

I'm actually genuinely curious where you decide to go. I think it is interesting to see where people go and why - there is never a best answer... just one that fits what you value in a school (be that cost, location, shiny tools, etc). You are a super strong candidate and will succeed anywhere. I would sleep easy knowing you will be successful! 👍

Thanks good sir. I narrowed it down to Pitt and ASDOH. Waiting for the Navy to decide my fate of private or state-related school :laugh:

Nice! I'm sure you will be happy at either place. Don't forget to update the thread once its official haha 🙂
 
In case anyone was wondering, I am attending Penn. 🙄 Definitely not the original plan...

👍 Congrats. Since you're getting a Navy ride and don't have to spend any $$$ its a good choice. Plus I think Penn will offer a more interesting experience.
