Hello SDN,
I'm so grateful to have received acceptances from Tufts as well as NYU, and am having a really tough time deciding between the two. I've perused past posts, but I think the factors I am taking into consideration are a little different than what I saw elsewhere.
Cost: Pretty similar for both, not a huge deciding factor
Main struggle here is that while I liked Tufts more because of the facilities and just how organized everything seemed during our visit, I have a bigger network in New York (from CA btw). Two of my best friends and a group of friends live in NY. I have also have a couple friends already at NYU dental who were very welcoming during my visit and told me that they would offer me support throughout the years. I know no one in Boston.
NYU facilities also seemed a little older, the class size is also larger than Tufts which is a little concerning for me. But I did feel like when I interacted with faculty and students I felt more at home at NYU. But I do know that Tufts just has a better reputation overall, also their pass/fail grading on clinical/lab work is pretty appealing.
What do you guys think? Network, or ranking?
