Seniors I need your Guidance

I got admission into University of Colorado International Dental Program.
But in the mean time I have been getting interview calls from University of Michigan, Oklahoma, SUNNY Buffalo etc. I want to make sure I attend the Interview only if the school is better than University of Colorado.
That way if I get selected later I can pick the school over University of Colorado.
Colorado program starts at Jan 2013 and ends by Dec 2015 (2 years exact)
Its comparatively Cheaper (Fee, living expenses)
Ranked lower compared to Michigan, UOP, UCSF, UCLA (Expecting Interview calls)

So I am worried as to what factors I need to consider.

1. Does the ranking of School matter for later career endeavors.
2. School with large Patient pool
3. Cost of the program
4. duration of the program

Personally I like Colorado because of the low cost (comparatively), program duration (Graduate faster) moreover its close to Arizona (where my husband lives)
But, at the same time I would like to make a conscious choice. If the ranking/legacy (college prestige) matters compared to the cost of the program.

Oh, do not waste you time and money. You have a chance to get your license by the end of 2015 with minimal expenses - take it.

i think it would really be not worth going to all those interviews once you are in a school already.
u have a chance to start early, grab it and go ahead.
you can use whatever you save by not paying for all the interviews and bench tests.

One of my friend had a similar situation like you and she took the acceptance and went ahead with it and I am telling you she didnt miss on anything. But still its up to you.

I am in the same situation and got accepted at Colorado and Don't think it is worth taking so much stress. Enjoy your time till we start! Also we'll be done by 2014 Dec......

As far as I saw from the website opened official documents are accepted. Nevertheless you could call the school and ask them if they would accept notarized copies too. Even better, you could e-mail them. I am sure they ll clear you doubts. Good luck👍
