Does anybody have a chart or spreadsheet that they use to evaluate each school they interview at? What things are most of you guys looking for? outside of:

Cost
The city
clinical requirements
board scores
externships/opportunity to travel
students
faculty

bkwash - I'm not applying for 06, but I started thinking about these things for my 07 apps. I bought a book published by the ADA called the The Official Guide to Dental Schools, 43rd Edition.

You can buy it directly from the ADA website, under publishings I beleive. It was $35. I tried to find it on eBay and Amazon. But they're more expensive AND they don't offer the latest edition.

It took about 4 weeks to deliver, and just arrived two days ago. I haven't looked at it in depth yet. But I've heard nothing but good things about it. It would probably answer some of your questions.

Hope that helps!
