What I am about to say is what happens behind the scenes at NYU College of Dentistry. What I am about to describe is the reality that many students at NYU Dental have to face on a daily basis. Please avoid applying to NYU College of Dentistry!! I know that many predental students are desperate or know someone who is desperate to get into dental school, but NYUCD is not worth the hassle. NYU Dentistry is filled with scandals and controversial policies. The administration is put simply, corrupt. They do not care about students or staff. They only care about making money. They see students as just a number that they can replace at any time. The school is so notorious for trying to dismiss, fail out, or make students repeat the year at all costs. The faculty will not attempt to help students succeed in any way possible. A lot of the faculty treat students there with so much disrespect and lack of regard for well-being. The administration decides on a set number of students to try to repeat the year/dismiss.
The administration plans out ahead of time who to make repeat the year/dismiss. Many of the students there complain about how overwhelmed they feel and admin and higher ups simply turn a blind eye to all these concerns. The faculty and admin talk so much trash about students in front and behind their backs. They laugh, ridicule, and mock students all the time. Admin and faculty make students' lives miserable here. The higher ups purposely put obstacles in students' way to hinder and prevent success. All what NYU Dentistry does is take your money and run away without awarding a DDS or anything. NYUCD is getting worse by the year. The faculty and administration have no respect for students and even staff alike. Faculty and admin are so mean and rude with students; its unbelievable. NYU Dentistry only cares about stealing your tuition dollars to fill their own pockets. Faculty are verbally abusive towards students. They are not on your side as students. NYU Dentistry admin and faculty are known for their unethical practices. They do everything in their power to prolong student's meeting requirements, checking off assignments, and even purposely delaying graduation. They are so bitter towards students.
The school wastes student's time with nonsense rather than trying to properly teach and instruct students. The admin has so much power over students that it is very hard to change things even if the students wanted to. Students here are in constant state of anxiety at NYUCD, whether it would be about passing or failing a practical/exam or meeting clinical requirements. Failing a single exam here could very much prevent a student from fulfilling his or her dream in becoming a dentist. NYU Dental has no problem failing students left and right in order to earn another years worth of tuition. NYU Dental will not hesitate to show any student the exit door after collecting a years worth of tuition or so. Please go through all the negative reviews about NYU Dental on Facebook, SDN, etc. These reviews are very much the truth about what goes on at NYU Dental currently. For those applying this cycle, please find a different dental school. If NYU Dental is your only choice, please reapply next cycle or consider some other career path.
