I can't believe it and am worried I'm going to wake up soon. But assuming this isn't a dream, I got the call this morning and couldn't be more excited to be a part of the Class of 2016! Can't wait to meet everyone!

I am a current D1 student at Roseman. I would not be concerned about the 90% pass rate, in fact I see it as more as a benefit than a detriment. First of all, its really an 85% pass rate. You take the team assessment right after you take the assessment individually. If your team gets a 95% on the test you get an extra 5% added to your score. We are about done with the first year and have yet to have a single team not get the 95. There are usually about 10-15% of the class that has to remediate a test and Id say 98% of those people end up passing the remediation. I think there are only a handful of students that have to re-take the courses in the summer and I don't think there is a single person that has to do more than 2. If you go to class and study you will pass without a doubt. The way everything is set up is pretty genius in my opinion. Iv had to remediate twice and then passed both remediations. Having to get the 85 on each exam I feel has prepared me very well to pass the boards. Im currently studying for them now and I have done really well on some practice tests and iv known about 80-90 percent of the dental decks (One of the main study aids for the boards). I know for a fact I wouldn't do that well if I was only having to pass with a 70 or even a 75.
As for wanting to keep a good relationship with your wife and family, I think our school really lets you do that. Only having 1 test every two weeks is very nice. The week you don't have a test is extremely laid back. I spend a lot of time with my family and usually don't study at all on the weekends (unless there is a test on Monday)
Sorry for the long response, I hope I have answered your questions. So to sum it all up, don't let the 90 percent scare you. It is extremely do-able. I would focus the majority of your decision on what school to attend based on cost. Go to the cheapest school you get into. But remember, tuition is just a part of overall cost. Factor in cost of living. Roseman is expensive but when you factor in the cost of housing, entertainment, gas (Utah usually has one of the lowest gas prices in the country) its really cheaper than most private schools and schools like BU, Tufts and NYU. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me. Good luck in your decision. Hope to see you next year!
Thanks for the in depth info! I'm feeling a lot more relieved about the 90% and about the chance to keep a relationship with my family! I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing you guys in August!
Does anyone know where I can get a calendar for Roseman's curriculum and events?
It was an incredibly hard decision but I withdrew my seats this morning from Western and Tufts. My wife and I are excited to meet you guys in August!!!
Where to attend isn't quite that simple but this is certainly advice you'll appreciate when starting to pay back the loans!I would focus the majority of your decision on what school to attend based on cost.
Anyone with a small family looking for a place to live? I have a contact for a three bedroom house in Lehi, UT, Ten minutes from school. House is only two years old and is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Rent would be $1600 a month. For more information and pictures call Jordan at 801- 472-9885. I am a dental student at midwestern so I am not allowed to post on your facebook page. If someone could please forward this message on to the facebook group that would be great! This is my bro-in-laws house and they really want a great family to rent their house.
Is anyone here accepted to more than one dental school or is thinking of not attending Roseman for the fall? I'm on the wait list and I just wanted to know if there is a chance this year. Either way, good luck to everyone on your first year.
