Does anyone know if there is a place where we can look up different dental school's statistics; Like how many of their students pass boards, what is their default rate, etc.?

or specialty rate for that matter....no one seems to answer that one

The best places to look for this information is the individual schools website and the ADEA Guide to Dental Schools.

I would start by purchasing the guide then really researching 10-15 schools from there websites.

Does the ADEA guide have information about board scores? From what I saw it was mainly stuff to do with acceptances.

Even if these stats existed (They don't, at least not in a database) you'd run into the classic quandry of student body performance vs. school performance.

Basically, does a school's average on say, Part 1 boards depend more on said schools curriculum, or on the students they accept?

You will pass boards if you put in a little work. It is based of an individual more so than a school.

I don't see why it matters what school people went to. People get good board scores from all different schools. Don't beat a dead horse.

A few schools I went to mentioned their specializing rate.
