Does anyone know where you can find board scores for all the dental schools?

I like the fact that Tufts gave that big packet with all their info, but I do not want to decide where I go (Tufts or Pitt) based on info from just one school. Any thoughts on these two schools?

Anyone know when Temple or USC are supposed to be sending out their next round of acceptances?

One last thing...Does anyone feel that all interviewing candidates fall into two categories when interacting with eachother at the interviews?? 1. You have the super sweet superficial people that wish everybody luck, when you know deep down they are hoping you don't get in so that they can have your spot. 2. They're are the people who are so standoffish that they seem flat out mean and rude to you. Why can't people just be chill????

Just an observation, I have only been on a few interviews, but it always seems the same.

Actually, personally I could care less what others think. I was confident in myself and knew i would get in. So, i would treat people like they would be my future classmates and enjoy their company and talk about their interivew and other schools they applied to.

However, I'm not too surprised that there are "anal" people out there.

Viraj--

When I was in Boston I fell in love with the city, but it was just so damn cold. Being from California it was quite a shock, I see you are from Fl. How long did it take you to adjust??

How affordable is it in Boston? Can you find roommates easily?

Should I be impressed by the scores, or will any motivated student do well at any school?

I have heard that year 2 is hell, even moreso than other schools. Are you worried?

At pitt the class size will be about 80 and tufts about 130. Do you think that is a big difference? Will I just be another number, or part of a family?

I'll have more questions, but I can't think of any more right now..
My deposit is due on next wens!!!

I haven't still completely adjusted with the weather, but I really think that it is one of the minor factors in deciding about which school to go to...

Boston is a very beautiful and fun city, but mind it, I didn't say inexpensive....,, About room-mates, yeah I think u should just email the school in like May and they will send u a list of people who would like to have room-mates..[/B]

Should I be impressed by the scores, or will any motivated student do well at any school?


Well this is a good question, look at it this way, if the scores r good for past ten years, then that means, that Tufts really have good system of teaching, and probably have good faculty that really know a lot about boards...

I have heard that year 2 is hell, even moreso than other schools. Are you worried?


Yes I have a lot of 2nd year freinds, infact my room-mate is a 2nd year at Tufts, and he really is working a lot harder as compared to me, but he said that its just that u have to put ur work and u will get the rewards...

At pitt the class size will be about 80 and tufts about 130. Do you think that is a big difference? Will I just be another number, or part of a family?


Great question again, I think class size really matters, but I was kinda worried when I made my decison to join this school, but after being here for 1.5 semesters, I really like it, the whole staff and the administration is very nice, they really do know how to take care of their students...


If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask...
