MWU-AZ or VCU

I was accepted to MWU in December and put my deposit down, but last week I was accepted to VCU (out of state). Cost will be about the same at both schools. I really loved both schools when I interviewed and so I am struggling with picking one.

My concerns about MWU is that there is not really a track record of the program because this year will be the first graduating class. So the clinic and the way things are run are still developing. I haven't found many opinions on what the older students think of the clinic and how they run it. My concerns about VCU is that there are specialty programs, which I think may hinder the experience that the regular dental students could get. I have also heard this could be a plus, but it just depends on the school, in which case I don't know about VCU.

I am not looking to specialize. I seem to go back and forth with this decision. If any one could give me their opinions or insights about these schools and my decision, it would be very appreciated!!

Wow, I really can't believe so many people would choose VCU. I interviewed at both and I would go to MWU-AZ over VCU any day. The school, equipment, faculty, area, etc. were all so much nicer at MWU. VCU was overall pretty old and the student who gave us the tour was basically listing all of the reasons why he wished he had gone someplace else.

I agree. When I interviewed, MWU-AZ seemed like an incredible place. The faculty seem really excited and want to help, and the students all love being there. The facilities and technology are top notch, and I liked the campus. VCU also seemed very nice. Their Perkinson building has great technology, and Dr. Healy is really helpful and genuine. Between the two I'd personally go MWU-AZ, but you really can't go wrong with either. Best of luck.

Ha, point taken. I liked Tufts better, but I'll always have great things to say about MWU-AZ. Personally, between MWU-AZ and VCU, I'd go MWU-AZ. You can't go wrong with either, though.
