There a few points I'd like to address here. The idea that a new school, which understandably has to develop it's reputation, is synonymous with a "bad school" idea is flawed. Is Roseman the best dental school in the country? No. But it's a pretty good school and will appeal to many people because of its strengths. Being new means you have to develop a reputation. That said, if you look at all the new schools that have opened including Midwestern, Western, ASDOH, UNLV, NOVA, etc. they're all doing pretty well for themselves and are popular once they've graduated their first class and have established a rep. One of the best things about being at a new school is things are dynamic and can be shaped into something new and different. I would venture to say it's harder for most established schools to work out their problems because they get stuck in their ways. A new school has a fresh start. Hell, look at LECOM. I'm not the biggest fan of the school, but if they can pull off the 3+1 (dental school done in 3 years, 4th year you'll get the same experience as a GPR/AEGD) than I think that'd be pretty badass. Ultimately you'll come to realize in dental school that dental students have the same problems regardless of what school they attend.
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text.
