Members don't see this ad.

I am not sure if this information is already out there on SDN, but I stumbled upon an enormous amount of pretty useful information. This is what I found as significant in each file ( just go to the site below, and click on each file to view these):

Volume 1: Academic Programs, Enrollment and Graduates :
-page 26-27 shows how many students had to repeat a year.
-Page 61 shows all the costs of the dental schools.
- Page 73 shows what specialty programs each school has to offer.

Volume 2: Tuition, Admissions and Attrition
- page 15: shows costs of all the dental school( in more detail than volume 1) .
-Page 40: importance of DAT scores used by admissions.
-Page 47: number of international students admitted to each school.
-Page 66-67: Importance of other factors used as admissions criteria by Dental Schools.( for example: Midwestern: Total DAT score of 6 individual scores( not including the 2 aggregates) are very important).

Volume 4: Curriculum
-Page 19 total hrs spent in class/week, as well as total hours spend in class for the 4 years ( of 3 if its UoP).
-Page 31-35: number of hrs spent learning procedures dealing with different areas of dentistry.

Survey of Advanced Dental Education: pg 51-56: shows how many applicants each school has for their specialty programs, as well as how many they accept to each specialty program.

thanks, i hope this helps people with both: choosing what schools to apply to, as well as choosing what school to attend ( if you are fortunate enough).

I thought in Volume 1, the statistics on how many students repeat a year was pretty helpful. Obviously it will vary, but if you look at the overall trend ,you can make a somewhat solid opinion on each school. I believe NYU got its "bad" reputation from the year 2001-2002, where 18 students had to repeat the first year ( i am assuming a fair amount of students might have gotten kicked out, although this is a bold statement). After that, NYU's numbers were normal. So it makes more sense where rumors come from, but that was a long time ago.

this is pretty sweet. I actually referred to this thread this morning in another post...

That information about schools accepting international students is something asked frequently. Now we have a place to direct them

Good find 👍
