Hello guys, if you guys get accepted to all 3, where would you go? I know it would depend on the location, the academics, and the cost of each school. But I would still love to hear from you guys' opinion~ Please help so I can make an easier decision.

So far, I am leaning towards NYU. I am from California and since USC and NYU are equally expensive, I rather go to NYU because I'm not comfortable with USC's PBL, and I don't mind living in NY at all. And I know that in terms of academics, NYU is better than USC..am I right? correct me if I'm wrong~

So now NYU vs UNLV, for UNLV, it's easier to get instate residency the second year, so UNLV is going to be like 20k cheaper after the 1st year and I would save 60k throughout that 3 years span, so tuition is definitely cheaper, and housing and all that shud also be cheaper at vegas compared to NY, correct? Both schools have fantasic facilities and brand new technologies, but in terms of academics, I'm not quite sure which one is better...Hrmmm...Guys please just simply tell me where you guys would choose if you get accepted to all 3, I really appreciate it~
 
UNLV has been around a shorter time, that doesn't mean that their academics are any worse. NYU has been around for a long time. I didn't interview there but my friend said that he thought NYU was really just impressive compared to UNLV, not really sure why.
 
I would probably choose UNLV, but that's because that is the less expensive option because I want to come out of dental school with as little debt as possible. I've talked with a few dentists that I know and that is what their advice was to me concerning dental school choices.

As far as education goes, I'm not too familiar with the program at NYU, so I have no idea how the two schools compare for that.

Good luck with whatever you choose!
 
If I were in your spot I'd pick USC OR NYU.

Go to the place were you'd feel most comfortable living.
 
We'll If I were you I would go to NYU or UNLV. But I've heard that everything is brand new at NYU and nice.
