wow those are some prettttty amazing attributes. I had heard about clinical procedures that they let you do which other schools do not but thanks a lot for the details. This is making me even more excited for my interview. I have friends going there for other majors n pharm and they definitely love it.
Also, UNLV makes you learn Spanish, which I think is a great idea for any health professional to learn. And every other house is in foreclosure so you can get a nice house for like $80k. You also get all of your books on a disc and a shiny new laptop that is serviced for free on campus. And you can actually park at the school and walk right up to it, unlike some of the big city schools and ones located directly on huge campuses. And last but not least, there is a Carls Jr. across the street that gives student discounts
Another con, besides no cadaver lab, is that there isn't a library, unless you head over to the main campus. And you may wake up hungover and married (pro or con, depending on who you marry) with a baby in the closet and tiger in the bathroom.

Btw, here's the direct quote from UNLV SDMthat depicts how rare molar endo experience is at UNLV.
"RCT was scheduled as the first molar to be treated by a student at UNLV SDM in over 2 years."

Am I the only one who doesn't see that quote anywhere in that article?
it sounds like a smart move for gps. on the other hand how well do students match into post-doc programs from unlv?

I like the spanish learning part a lot. I think it is definitely imp. when you say "you get a shiny new laptop" umm is it free lol? or additional cost?
Parking definitely sounds great --- especially coming from ucla where even though you could pay you probably wouldn't be able to get the school permit.
I had a question about being in the clinic the very first yr. Umm is it like after a semester or so or right away?
Random question. Does UNLV show up on your AADSAS under "School Decisions" because I have nothing. I interviewed on Jan 14th and they said they're gonna have a meeting most likely today. They said they will update AADSAS and send snail mail for acceptances, but they will make no phone call. I don't want to keep bugging them by calling and would rather know by AADSAS so can anyone let me know?
The Dell laptop is an additional cost of $2000-2500 so definitely not free.
You start clinic Fall semester of your first year. It is once a week on a Friday afternoon according to the student schedule they gave us on interview day. I remember Dr. Kingsley telling us that you start off with learning Spanish and taking patient history, doing prophy/scaling on each other, assisting upperclassmen, and etc.

my friend told me when he got accepted on dec 1st that he only received a status update on AADSAS that said "offer made". No phone call. and not sure if he received snail mail or not, forgot to ask LOL.
