Top 5 Dental Schools Based on Prestige Data

Although many would deny this, the school's general prestige does have some effect on one's life. That is how the society works. People make certain judgements on you by the school's prestige.

Using gallop poll's ranking of people's perception of schools' prestige, undergraduate reputation score (gourman report and US News), overall graduate school reputation (by gourman report and world university rankings by the Times), medical school reputation (Usnews and gourman report), dental school rankings by gourman report (they are reputation rankings).

1. Harvard 100
2. Columbia 93
3. UCLA 89
4. U Penn 87
5. U of Michigan 84

That's pretty much it. The rest is about the same. People won't know that UCSF is a good dental school. Even people in SF wouldn't know about U of Pacific. People know about NYU and USC but they don't think they are particularly good schools. People in NY don't think Stony Brook as a good dental school, although it actually is.

lol notice all of hellohellomr's threads are about "ivys" haha I bet he's asian. Its usually the asian kids that care so much about "prestige." What a tool

No, European immigrant (Swiss). I happen to know that you are Asian, and your parents are disappointed to your failure to attend an Ivy (which explains your anti-Ivysm).

Many of my posts are about Ivys because I am interested in Ivys. Simple as that.

EDIT: I see you have EDITED your low level critizism.

Not sure the point of your post; however, USC sits on the list of the "Top 10 Dream Colleges" to attend by both Students and Parents. Although it may not be seen as prestigious as Harvard or Columbia, it sits on the list with them. I think desire to attend far outweighs prestige. Just my opinion.

So what schools do students consider "dream colleges"?
1. Stanford
2. Harvard
3. Columbia
4. Princeton
5. New York University
6. Yale
7. University of California, Los Angeles
8. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
9. University of Southern California
10. University of California, Berkeley

5. Yale
6. New York University
7. University of California, Los Angeles
8. Duke

10 Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Yea for immature high school girls, NYU would be #1 on most of their lists...lol

I agree with your list. It obviously doesn't correlete to pre-dents on SDN but for the general public, every school on that list should be within the top 10 or 15 .

 

[PreDentDJ]

lol notice all of hellohellomr's threads are about "ivys"

Don't Feed the TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Seriously? He started a thread about ivy league dental schools on a pre-dental school discussion board... and you're calling him a troll? How about the people who managed to turn this into a full-blown race debate in less than 5 posts.

But that was you, wasn't it?

 

[Emmie]

it's just merely my humble opinion, plz don't attack me...

USC does not belong in any of the lists that you guys mentioned, not a chance! I mean come on, USC???!!! What have you been smoking???

Why UCSF isn't there? check out their med school, should def. be one of the top 10, their dental school isn't bad neither.

USC and NYU are only there because the bottom students (or their parents) don't even dream about better schools. Bottom students usually don't say their dream school is Harvard or Princeton.

I'm sure you must know all about that

 

[hellohellomr]

Right. And because USC is ahead of Berkeley and MIT on the list... those schools are even worse off. Is this what you are trying to say? Please clarify if you meant something else. I hardly think NYU and USC are bottom feeder schools, and if you think so then you've been living under a rock.

No, those who put MIT and Berkeley as their dream schools are different types of students (smarter students/students' parents) who can at least dream about those schools.

Face it, top students don't dream about USC and NYU, not to mention their parents. And bottom students usually don't put Harvard and MIT as their dream school. Your logic ("oh..then why is MIT below USC") only proves your stupidity and the fallacy of your ranking.

Sorry hellohello, but as I'm sure you're already aware, you're an incredible tool. You sound just like a high school student before their college applications- those kids who don't know any better, think Harvard and Yale are the be all and end all, and then are smacked in the face by reality when they get rejected by all their top precious schools.

There's more to life than name brand colleges. Get over it.

 

[hellohellomrs]

Hunny Bunny, I will pray that you never get into dental school. Especially not an ivy one.

 

[xhamburgersamx]

Most Asian parents, especially the 1st generation and immigrants don't even know UCSF exists. They only know UCLA, UC Berkerley, and USC for California

Trust me, my parents are immigrants so I know this first hand.

[hellohellomr]

You are confusing dream with reality. If you were asked which dental school is your dream school, it would be either the cheapest school in the country or the most prestigious/most well known. Your decision would NOT be based on whether or not you think you can get into your "dream" school. This is the point of the survey. To state which school you only dream about attending, not where you think you can realistically get into. If you think USC and NYU are so terrible, why are they on this top 10 list and Cornell, Brown, Cal Tech, Dartmouth, U of Chicago, UPenn, Amherst, Williams, etc. are not on the list? The list could go on and on. Your idea of why certain schools are on this list is absolutely ridiculous.

Sure, according to your list, people think NYU is better than Yale and MIT!! USC is also better than MIT! Makes A LOT of SENSE!! Your list must be 100% credited. Satisfied? =)

Often times, the school isn't better, but the student body is.

1. It's not my list. It was published by the Princeton Review.

2. No one said NYU was better, academically, than Yale and MIT it was just more of "desired" school to attend than Yale, MIT, USC, Berkeley, etc.

3. I'm satisfied with the list, but it's only because I understand the point of the list. I attended two of the so-called "dream" schools and I would say from my own personal experiences both lived up to my expectations. This list not FACT. I merely posted it to show you that although students may believe such and such schools are prestigious, prestige doesn't always equal desirability as the list clearly shows.

\



Sure, more people will choose NYU over Yale when they get accepted into both- since NYU is afterall the more desirable school. And of course the student pools that dream about NYU and Yale aren't much different. Makes total sense.

 

[rewJW]

Gotta love these kinds of threads. This comes up time and time again. When are people finally going to get that there is no top 10, no top 15? Every individual has their own idea of what they want in a dental school. Everybody makes up their own top list. Do some people care what the 'general public' may think? Yeah, but that's their prerogative, and it's not everybody. It goes for undergrad and grad schools alike.

This is not even relevant, ask your dentist how many people ask where they went for school. As I said before, a majority of the population doesn't know what a DDS or DMD stands for, let alone it takes four years to achieve.

Yeah these threads are starting to annoy me (and probably 99% of SDN).

 

[ArmyDDS2013]

Everyone has their own top 10 list but the general public and higher education experts is usually based on US-News or Princeton review type surveys and lists.

Dude please move to New England and wear a bow tie and sip cosmopolitans with a raised pinky. Your original assertion that, while unfortunate, prestige moves society, shows a total ignorance for large sections of the population. The "people" you are discussing are very small sections of the population that one can completly ignore as they go about enjoying every day of their great lives. Those "people" pretty much exist just to show each other up. Don't apply their shallow standards to the rest of us.

1. Your list may be completely different than this list compiled by the Princeton Review as would mine.

2. I'm sure most students consider living in NYC a huge advantage over living in New Haven, CT. This fact alone can completely outweigh the fact that Yale is ~4th in the rankings and NYU ~30th in the rankings. They are both great institutions and have their advantages.

3. I think it's actually pretty cool that this list is not just an exact replication of the USNWR Top 10 ranking. It shows that students are looking at things other than rankings or what might be considered as the best by a magazine.

4. Have you ever attended an Ivy League because you seem so dead set on them? If not, I'm not sure why we're even having this conversation.

You are pretty naive (I am trying not to use bad words) if you think more people will choose NYU over Yale if they get accepted into both.

[hellohellomr]

Why am I naive? "Different strokes for different folks." You think everyone is just going to jump at a Yale acceptance? I think you need to be accepted to multiple top universities and then see how you react.

I think when you pick a college you have to think about your priorities. If your priority is going to an ivy league then go to Yale. If your priority is location then go to NYU. If your priority is saving money then you should probably apply to your state school. If your priority is film, go to NYU. If your priority is religious studies go to Yale. Either way, if you do well at either of these institutions the doors are going to be wide open for you. It's not like you're picking Chapman University over Yale.

You, my friend, are thinking about the name and only the name, which makes you naive. I've been around long enough and have had the opportunity to experience both lifestyles. You are going to get over the name real quick if you prefer wearing sandals, studying film, business or music and living in a metropolitan city--you probably should have picked USC and not Yale.

Sir, you are pretty dumb. Sorry. This is all I am going to say to you. I give up communicating with you.

 

[ArmyDDS2013]

Basically anyone that goes to a private or IVY league school with the hopes of attending dental school is a complete ***** for the 2 following reasons.

1) You will be heavily in debt

2) And/or have wasted their parents hard earned money.
