[Dr. Fele]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

School 1: NYU​

• Private

Pros

• Strong reputation
• Well-known internationally

Cons

• Very high cost (approximately $130K more in total cost with interest)
• $5,000 deposit upfront
• Less supportive admissions system

School 2: UNE​

• Private

Pros

• More affordable (total cost with interest is about $130K less)
• $500 initial deposit (additional deposits due in late spring)

Cons

• Less well-known
• Lower reputation/ranking
• Degree may not be recognized in some countries

I’m considering the possibility of switching schools later this cycle if I get into UPenn or UCLA. Given these factors, which school would be the better choice?

Poll:

• NYU
• UNE
• Wait for other schools

You can drop $5K???

 

[macsak]

why would UNE degree not be recognized internationally?
it's still a US dental degree...

DO NOT wait for other schools- put at least one deposit down
what if you don't get any others?

I thought the same exact thing when I read that, the degree is the same exact as long as it's in the USA doesn't matter what school you go to

$5K is a lot for me, but UNE will only require the full $5K by the end of April. What if I don’t get off the waitlist 😢 and I end up risking it all for NYU’s $5K deposit?

I don't know probably because UNE is built in 2013 and it's considered new. Touro and Roseman has the same issue, they're both created in 2000s as well.
You're right, I should just put a deposit. 🙁But for which one?

Risking it all for what? You deposit $500 to secure a spot at a cheaper dental school.

This is a no brainer.

UNE…nyu doesn’t have a great reputation among dentists. Most dentists see it as the most expensive school that accepts hundreds of people each year.
