As an incoming D1, I just wanted to say that this thread and some of the comments have left me depressed, scared, and extremely anxious about my choice to attend NYU. I can't stop thinking about how if I don't do well in a class, ill just be kicked out! please, current NYU students who are happy/at least not disgusted at your school, PLEASE elaborate on how the environment/exam culture at NYU really is? how hard is it to pass/get B's? Im sure there are other students here who would appreciate it just like me! thank u in advance.

There really is a lot of nonsense on these boards from non-students. It's almost always "My friend's cousin's sister's husband's mom's nephew goes to NYU, and you won't believe how bad they have it." I'm honestly not sure why these people feel the need to go to another school's boards to spew lies. Like, are you seriously that displeased with your own school that you go to another school thread to put their students down?

As a student here, I can tell you that NYU does have administration problems, but most of them are not really going to make or break your dental education. Dental school is what YOU make of it. If you want to coast through NYU, go to your lectures, take notes on the slides, then go through them again twice. Do practice questions or old exams. Re-listen to lectures if you have time. Do this consistently, and you will pass with decent grades. I have no doubt that if you have the work ethic of what a dental student is supposed to have, then you will be a great dentist out of any school.
 
Current students, what is the dress code like? Do we wear scrubs most days or is it professional attire?

We wear pajamas and zoom from home LOL.
But when we go into school we wear scrubs or dress nice. In the library you can wear whatever
 
Hey guys
Did anyone receive a call from an admission officer last week? i was put on the waitlist and an admission officer called to check if im still interested wanted to "advocate" for me in admission. But its been almost a week and I heard nothing back. Anyone else went through that ?
 
Hello everyone! I just finished my D1 year at NYU dental. It was definitely a good and challenging year. I am happy to answer any questions you guys have, just message me. Some people were asking what my hardest and easiest classes were and I would say:
Hardest class: Single Tooth Restoration
Easiest class: Principles of Pharmacology or Epidemiology

Rising D4 here and I can 100% attest to this ^^ I came into dental school fearing that I wouldn’t be able to even pass my classes. But by putting time and effort into my studies, I’m doing better than I ever thought I would! It’s definitely stressful and takes a lot of time commitment to keep up with the course load, but it’s most definitely doable. No one is trying to “fail you” and while some people may complain about administration or preach that the school wants you to fail, I can honestly say this is not the case. It’s a tough program, it has its good days and it’s not so good days, and it can be very frustrating at times, but many of the complaints people have are the same complaints I hear from friends at other dental schools. For the most part, I’ve had a very rewarding dental school experience

I don’t know, yesterday they told me their class is full 🙁

But weren’t their class always full thays why none of us on the waitlist heard anything back since a month or something? They’re just waiting for slots to open ? Or am I confused? Like is there a chance still or it’s over ?
 
Current students,
I am just looking for places since classes will be in person starting September. Would you guys recommend living within walking distance to NYU or is something like a 30 min commute okay?

Congrats!! If you don’t mind me asking, what did you do to get off the waitlist? Any tips/suggestions would be helpful, thanks 🙂
 
Honestly I don't think I did anything special besides a letter of intent.
 
Incoming D1 here, from the folks that have been attending this program which one is the better option for me to buy an ipad pro or macbook pro? I have a laptop from undergrad but I can not rely on it so I was wondering if I will be able to do everything on the ipad without running into any problems.
