UPenn is a fantastic school. That is where my father went, and it just makes everything alot easier once you get out in terms of opening your practice, or specializing. NYU is a good school as well, but the setting where UPenn is located in Philadelphia is also ideal for dental school, and the dental school is located near the undergraduate college, Vet School, etc., therefore there is alot of opportunity to meet people throughout all of UPenn, as well as within the dental school. However, I am on NYU's waitlist for this fall, so my opinion might be biased because I am hoping a spot opens up for me. I interviewed at UPenn this year, though I did not get in, and I really liked the school based on both what I saw and what I have heard from my dad. Oh and if I don't get into NYU off of the waitlist, I applied to a Medical School in the carribean, American University of Antigua, that did not require MCATs but is accredited and since I do not think I want to reapply if I don't get in NYU I may go to the carribean even though dentistry was what I have wanted to pursue for years. I guess I could still go for maxillofacial and just do it reverse order with medical school first. Anyway, hook a dude up and go to UPenn so more spots open up at NYU and enjoy University of Pennsylvania's elite institution.
