I got accepted to NYU and USC. Both schools are great, but I do not know which has better reputation as dental school. Could you give me an advice? thanks ~

hmm...so lets see...you got to school, to gain reputation? or do you want to get the best education?!!why don't you research and see which one better fits your need and stop worrying about reputation!

Simple - do you prefer blondes or brunettes ?
Choose NYU. It's a better school.

Hmm. out of curiosity, are you basing this on an aversion to PBL, NBDE I avg score, pass rate, or etc ?
My mother is friends with the dean of NYU dental and he even tells her that anywhere but NYU will be better. The dean is a graduate of UMDNJ.
If you are worried about reputation (I don't believe this should be a determining factor) then NYU is not the place.
Best of Luck,

I love how people assume things about USC without even knowing about the program or any of the statistics!!!
Can anyone here who would pick PBL tell me if they have tried PBL? how is it that people who don't like people don't know what its about...It is like saying I hate pie when you have never had pie!!! tsgalloway is a student with me at USC and we both seem to love the program!!! So to those who are not in PBL and not at USC, please do not make assumptions on what the program is like. Everyone makes their own choices, and I also did have the option of going to NYU, but I am very close with USC and the PBL programs and I truely believe in the power of PBL, and I am a student of PBL.
It is unreasonable to Say "I would pick lecture over PBL, becuase I like lecture better" if you have not tried PBL. how can you compare the two when you have only experienced one!!!
It is however valid to say, that "I would pick lecture because it works for me, and I don't want to change my method of learning"
good luck to all, and "be carefull in chosing the resources of your facts!!!" Thats one thing you won't learn in Lecture based Learning!!!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As I do respect people who like PBL, your comment on how, "if you have not tried PBL. how can you compare the two when you have only experienced one" is invalid. Sometimes, you don't need to experience both things to make a sound decision on what's better. If that were the case, we'd all make mistakes all the time and learn from them. You can avoid pitfalls by avoiding a situation rather than doing it and then learning from it.
...But people here just assume PBL is bad, without even reading up on the PBL pedagogy or knowing anything on how it works Someone posted "I wouldn't go to USC just because of PBL" without stating their reason or why!? it seems that they just heard it is bad, based on no facts...This is a common misconception in many things.
There is a PBL and there is an USC PBL. The Harvards PBL was implemented to make students more involved. Not all major classes were/are PBL based. The USCs PBL, in my opinion, is a letdown to a bulk of their students. In late 80 and early 90, USCs graduates were very good in all aspects. And their results (NBI & II) showed that as well.
I mention in another post, ask majority of USCs ten-year professors - which generation of young dentists is better, now or 12-15 years ago?
Good luck to you all. 👍
