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!

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:
 
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). 😳

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.
