For those who are aware of these programs:
if you were in between accepting a position from tufts or usc, who would you accept?

From what I’ve heard from past residents, USC just doesn’t seem to have enough patients or enough clinical exposure.

The tuition and cost of living is around $360k to $380k. Then add interest, and two years of not working. Even if you assume you could make only $200k a year, that’s another $400k in lost income. By the time you’re done, the total cost is easily close to $800k.

That honestly makes no financial sense to me, especially for a program where the clinical experience may not be that strong. I’d rather work another year, make money, improve my application, and reapply to a cheaper program.

And if finances were magically not a factor, you would still pick tufts over usc?

I’m not sure about tufts’ resident culture but haven’t seen enough to make concrete conclusions

I’m probably not the best person to answer that. I knew a couple of people who went to Tufts and seemed happy with the program, but they were more surface-level friends, so I never got enough detail from them to make a confident judgment about the resident culture or overall experience.
 
Guys I kind of feel like a failure for not getting in this cycle. Had 3 interviews and thought I’d get in somewhere. What you most want is what you most can’t have. And what you most can’t have is what you already had…and lost.

You previously said that you're a D4. Unless you're an exceptional applicant, it's incredibly difficult to get in right out of dental school. Use this as an opportunity to strengthen your app and get some experience under your belt.

You think that’s ok? My LORs are super explicit about me doing endo. Won’t GPR PDs take offense to me not devoting my entire existence to their program?

Why the sudden change to GPR? I think you're catastrophizing. I'm sure some PDs know that their GPR program is a stepping stone to other residencies like endo/omfs, so I would still apply and just tailor your application towards GPR as much as possible. Be honest that endo is a strong interest of yours and have good reasons for choosing each GPR program if it comes up in an interview.

Thank you everyone! This is very helpful. I’ll apply with my endo LORs and rewrite my PS. That’s why I love the endo community. Just a good bunch of people.

Whoa 6 interview days! Still didn't get an invite.
 
Cycle is over. Good luck next time
not that great. Instructors are very hands off. You don't have a camera. Facilities are old, out-dated, and very small. That said, residents are cool and seem to be enjoying their time. Very expensive program. All that said, you will graduate as an endodontist so beggars can't be choosers.

How expensive is this program? I heard it is less expensive than private schools.
