my rant to those who didn't get in this cycle:

there is no formula for getting into dental school, which is very true. NYU is run like a business, more than any other dental school, simply due to the size. they accept people based off of their abilities to be able to take a test (pass the boards), and their willingness to pay the insane cost of attending NYU. bottom line, which is unfortunate: they accept people with the realization that 10-15 students a year won't make the cut moving forward. it is what it is. they accept you, take your money, and if you don't make it then they tell you to remediate, even if you're short of passing by .5%. i know of people who have had to repeat a whole school year because of missing 1 question on a remedial exam. repeating a year means another 80k that the school will get in tuition, should the student decide to repeat a year...which is most often the case. you're already so financially invested in dental school that you probably have no choice but to repeat and continue.

i know of people who didn't get in with 25s on the DAT, where as i know people who got in with 19s on their DAT. what's the logic? a person with a 25 on the DAT isn't very likely to pay the $$ for NYU, because they've either gotten into a better school, or a cheaper school. the person with lower scores is more likely to be a sure seat that they can fill for the class. also consider the fact that someone else mentioned up here...if you're close to new york city, and are competing for a spot you're probably more likely to get it.

i'm seriously just playing devil's advocate here. my experience at NYU has been pretty standard, and I wouldn't change it for the world. i'm proud to be at a great institution, but at the same time, i'm not blindly denying the faults of my school. if you didn't get into NYU this cycle, sure you put your professional career on hold, but that just means you have the opportunity to improve your resume and get into cheaper schools for the next cycle. even if you're a year behind academically at that point, you'll still be ahead financially. always think 'long term'. good luck.

i'm sorry but i have to disagree with you.
There is a vast majority of people who I know that got well above a 19s, who got into cheaper schools, who CHOSE to go to NYUCD over other schools. You're making it sound like NYUCD takes the scraps from other dental schools knowing people are desperate enough to cough up the cash- for some that may be the case, but it is definitely not the majority. NYUCD has a lot going for it, with all it's specialties it provides on top of all its resources. I have friends in other dental schools who haven't experienced a fraction of what I have already been tested on in practicals. Don't get me wrong - NYU definitely works you to the limit because, like you said - they are a business, and their business is ensure they're students pass their boards and pump out great dentists with more experience than other schools. Great students with 100% pass rate for the past 6 years on boards, that have loads of experience, lead on to become great dentists is good PR for them.

Yeah 10-15 don't make the cut, so out of a class of 370-ish, that's 4% of the class. so in an average dental school class size of 70 students, 4% is about 3 people don't make the cut at the end of the year --- that is pretty much the norm. some of the time people drop out because, frankly, you don't know how dental school will be like until you're actually experiencing it. and i have no doubt that there are some people who after a couple months of their first year think, "you know what, I don't think this is for me" and so they quit. Other drop because of health concerns, or other emergencies, and finally there are the people who genuinely didn't put in the time to study to make the cut. remediation does not equal repeating the year. yea you could be short 0.5% of passing, and so they review you and if they see that you have tutors, and talked with your adviser, and made efforts in changing how to study, sometimes they let you off the hook and you don't remediate if it's by a small enough margin, but there always have to be a cut off - they can't lower the passing rate to accommodate everyone. that's just life. you don't pay extra tuition for remediation. if you have to repeat the year - well then i'm sorry i'm not sorry that the school is giving you another opportunity before kicking you out immediately. Yes they'll take another $80k, but that's better than being forcibly kicked out and have no opportunity to make up the first or two years of loans. And do you seriously think that other schools don't do the same??

wherever you go, every school has their faults and every school is a business. and by telling people that they should give up going to NYUCD to reapply to go to a cheaper dental school, is horrible advice. The application processes was perhaps the most horrible and stressful experience that I've been through - you don't know where you'll end up, and you're just waiting around, and you don't have a guarantee that you'd get in the second time around. I would rather be already in dental school than go through the application process again. NYUCD isn't the most expensive dental school either, it's just the high cost of living in the area makes it expensive. I love NYUCD, I feel like I'm getting a great education, and I love being in NYC!! if people love NYUCD too, they shouldn't be dissuaded because of your opinion. Just because you go to an expensive dental school doesn't mean you're going to live the rest of your life in debt, same goes in saying that just because you go to a cheaper dental school doesn't mean you're going to end up being richer in the "long term".

I did accept my loans but the first half of our loans for 2015-2016 are not disbursed until early September and have to last until January. The second half is disbursed in January and needs to last you until June, then I think from there our loans start getting disbursed every June and January. You should double check with Financial Aid just to be sure!

Also I recently met with an NYUCD alumni from '99 for a few hours, he alleviated any concerns I had about repayment lol

I thought it was early-mid August for the first disbursement since D1 is only 10 months long (August thru May).
D1 money comes in at AUGUST and JANUARY. My D1 money was processed Aug 18th, and deposited Aug 25th; then more deposited January 10th. I'm getting my D2 money the end of this month. So that means don't blow your August money because January has to last you until the upcoming July; think Aug$$$ has to last you until February, and Jan$$$ pays from March - July.

Great students with 100% pass rate for the past 6 years on boards, that have loads of experience, lead on to become great dentists is good PR for them. okay, well let me try to put it this way: first of all, i was in no way implying that NYU takes scraps from other dental schools. i chose NYU over other schools simply because the cost difference was negligible and it was closer to home for me. that's my justification. again i was playing devil's advocate.

just by the size of each individual class, you'll have a mixed bag of students statistically. i know that NYU has a lot going for it, after decades of having a bad rep. dean bertolami has really turned the school in a positive direction. in terms of friends in other dental schools who haven't experienced a fraction of what we've been tested (yes i go to NYUCD and i'm a d3)...that logic has no justification, as some schools start of with wax ups for a semester, or even removable prosth (which you will be doing this year). differences in curriculum have no weight in this argument. and yes the boards passing rate is a huge plus...passing that many students on a grand scale is a big deal.

Yeah 10-15 don't make the cut, so out of a class of 370-ish, that's 4% of the class. so in an average dental school class size of 70 students, 4% is about 3 people don't make the cut at the end of the year --- that is pretty much the norm. some of the time people drop out because, frankly, you don't know how dental school will be like until you're actually experiencing it. and i have no doubt that there are some people who after a couple months of their first year think, "you know what, I don't think this is for me" and so they quit.

Yes they'll take another $80k, but that's better than being forcibly kicked out and have no opportunity to make up the first or two years of loans. And do you seriously think that other schools don't do the same?? i agree, the numbers are comparable among a larger class vs. a smaller class.
i know for a fact that other schools don't do the same. i've never heard of any other school that nickel and dimes students out of having to repeat a course in remediation because they missed a question, let alone repeat a year. i don't mean to be rude, but you have yet to experience second year which is completely different. systems pathology and cr1 are 2 courses which fail the most students at NYU.


wherever you go, every school has their faults and every school is a business. and by telling people that they should give up going to NYUCD to reapply to go to a cheaper dental school, is horrible advice. The application processes was perhaps the most horrible and stressful experience that I've been through - you don't know where you'll end up, and you're just waiting around, and you don't have a guarantee that you'd get in the second time around. I would rather be already in dental school than go through the application process again.

I love NYUCD, I feel like I'm getting a great education, and I love being in NYC!! if people love NYUCD too, they shouldn't be dissuaded because of your opinion. Just because you go to an expensive dental school doesn't mean you're going to live the rest of your life in debt, same goes in saying that just because you go to a cheaper dental school doesn't mean you're going to end up being richer in the "long term". at what point did i tell people that they should give up going to NYUCD? i simply said that if it didn't work out this year, try harder, maybe you could get into a better or cheaper school. that is honest advice. NYUCD is among the most expensive dental schools. if you don't believe me, find an ADEA guide to schools. again, it was a matter of looking at it from an unbiased perspective. i go to this school and have had an average dental school experience. i wouldn't trade it for the world.

did i say that by going here, you'll live the rest of your life in debt? please stop and read. if someone can save 200,000 just by going to a cheaper school, you mean to tell me they won't be in a better spot financially for a foreseeable decade (at least)? i'm sorry but have you looked at a loan statement for someone who is pulling 100% of loans at NYU?

i'm sorry if i struck a nerve with my post. if you'd like to talk more, you can always send me a private message.

Sorry if I misunderstood you - it wasn't my attention!! It just sounded like you were attacking NYUCD.

I felt that you had a list of "negative" points (they accept lower DAT scores because they fill the class, the don't mind if you fail the year because they'll just make you pay for another year) that lead up to you implying that NYU isn't worth it, that [paraphrasing] "it's ok you didn't get in because you now have a second chance to get into a better/ cheaper school and that'll save you money rather than coming to NYUCD". Yes money will no doubt be saved, but it came off that you were discouraging people from considering NYUCD the second time they apply - almost like they dodged a bullet by not getting accepted to NYUCD. I do believe that wasn't your intention as so why we're having this discussion. Your issues with NYUCD affect a very small population of students - There are significantly more people who make it through NYUCD without repeating a year, than those who have to repeat. If you have to repeat the year, that's on you - difficult course or not, nothing is for free, and I would expect anywhere to charge you again for an extra year.

I'm not saying NYUCD is perfect - It's just very confusing where your opinions are coming from especially since you yourself chose NYU over other schools and the price difference to you was "negligible" compared to others - it's very contradictory to what you're saying as playing devil's advocate. I agree about the different curriculum and maybe I am naive since I have yet to endure the nightmare that I hear D2 is and I know that Systems Path, CRI & II are EXTREMELY difficult. But you got through it...

I am a 100% on loans thank you very much. I was exaggerating by "rest of your life" because to most $400k seems like it will be for the rest of your life to pay off. But it is all dependent upon what work you do after school, people manage money differently - some more successful than others, but majority of NYUCD grads do just fine managing their loans and having just as good of a living as people who went to cheaper schools. Dentist is the top job in the US right now, being the second best paid averaging $150K. Best thing to do is to get out of the tri-state area where its too saturated with dentists- work elsewhere for a couple years where the overhead costs and living expenses are less. But for now, I'm not going to worry about it - NYUCD grads before us have done ok, and so we'll be ok. Call me optimistic or naive, but I know I will get through it when the time comes. Besides, I'm not going to play "could've, would've, should've" game comparing myself if I was at a cheaper school - I made my decision, I'm in NYUCD and it is what it is.

Question to D1 students:
Hi, I have an urgent matter that will make me miss 4-5 consecutive days in mid November. Do you guys think I'll be alright or will I fall behind a lot? Do I need to notify the professors?

Has anyone heard back recently ( rejection or acceptance)?
The facebook group is still far away from 360, do you think they have more seats now?

Thank you

Some of the most recent additions to the Facebook page have been from middle America (as opposed to what had mainly been west coasters and internationals).... Perhaps they're finally working their way towards applicants who live relatively closer?

I agree with you. And keep in mind, although stony brook says their tuition is 30k, making it seem like "why would anyone go to NYU when you could re apply and go to a cheaper school" is a legit option, once you add on the fees my tuition for a state school is 81k for D1. So I think people who haven't checked their facts really need to realize the difference in cost is really due to NYC living & expenses, not because NYU is ripping off students by charging so much.

Those who are attending NYU, did anyone receive any information regarding tuition, class schedule, or orientation? Either emailed or through mail?

I received a link to the fall tuition via the NYU email. As for class schedule, they've only listed the courses we will be taking in the fall but not the actual schedule (I found that by clicking around on the link they sent for tuition). As for orientation, nothing yet!

this is why I want to attend NYU.... people have the same humor as I do lol..... hopefully we all will get in.
Haha seriously. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and see what's up. That's one of my favorite parts about interviews and such is meeting everyone and talking with them.

Your tuition for stony brook is 81k, not including living expenses?

Sorry I meant cost of attendance

Thats fine then imo if SB's COA is equal to the tuition of NYU. The tuition is hefty for some because that price can include housing in other states/schools.

Anyone mind sharing the list of classes for this fall? I'm curious!

If the Facebook is any indication, it's still moving pretty well....

They seem to have told the truth about generally accepting people off the waitlist from further away first, then working their way closer to NYC as time goes on.... If you look at the newer Facebook additions, it's the overall trend.

Hello,

I am incoming D1 student, I am wondering does anyone still need a roommate or need an extra person to share a room or in an apt?

Please message me if you do

Thank you!!!

I've called the admissions office and spoke with Scott a few times and I want to call again to show my interest. What should i say/ask? Any ideas?

Question to D1 students:
Hi, I have an urgent matter that will make me miss 4-5 consecutive days in mid November. Do you guys think I'll be alright or will I fall behind a lot? Do I need to notify the professors?

What do you mean by "urgent"? It depends specifically when and what your missing, you might miss the weekly quiz or exams. But with gds 3days a week, anatomy lab, and November is right before finals - unless your giving birth, or something religious (excluding weddings) it will be hard to explain why you're gone for a week. PM me if you want to talk about it more

Do you enroll/waive NYU Health Insurance Plans ? What happen if you waive? Is it cheap/expensive compare to outside rates?

Extremely terrifying, especially since the last day to hear back from there is sometime August.... around the 2nd week or so..... I'm not even sure how many seats are open still!


If the Facebook is any indication, it's still moving pretty well....

They seem to have told the truth about generally accepting people off the waitlist from further away first, then working their way closer to NYC as time goes on.... If you look at the newer Facebook additions, it's the overall trend.

I am 99.999% sure the class is absolutely filled at this point. The only movement will happen IF someone doesn't show to to orientation OR someone gets a last minute acceptance to another school that was their #1 forcing them to leave nyucd (which happened to 1 girl during the first day of orientation- so that's one seat that freed up). And once again, Facebook isn't a good indicator because there are some upperclassmen in your class page answering your questions and people who aren't even truly a part of nyucd officially. I totally get that you're reaching for anything to give you some indication, but realistically you need to reapply if you had not done so already.


Do you enroll/waive NYU Health Insurance Plans ? What happen if you waive? Is it cheap/expensive compare to outside rates?

As a dental student you are automatically enrolled in a student max benefit student insurance plan. If you waive, you will get refunded about $1,200 (give or take) - most people do this if they are still on their parents insurance plan and the insurance permits them to see doctors in NYC. You also have the ability to apply for the lower tier NYU student insurance plan once you waive the max benefit one. Even if you waive, you still are able to see general doctors and women's health center @ the NYU Health center - but as soon as you need lab work or xrays or see a specialist (other than an OBGYN), fees occur if you do not have NYU insurance if you proceed to use NYU health care resources. I have visited a couple times and it is very impressive! You have until Mid September to decide t0 waive I believe...

I am excited since this is a new chapter, but I'm also nervous for what the first day holds. I feel like I'm overthinking all of this haha :nailbiting:

Do you have room for one more? Also, may I please ask how did you find your place? Did you have to go through a broker? Any help is appreciated.

Assuming move in is coming within the next week or so, I think its safe to say the rest of us on the waiting list are not going to get in. Obviously there is always the last minute hope but I'm assuming the class is filled now and ready to go. It was nice to go through all of this with you guys, see you next cycle!
