In all honesty, you gotta make that decision yourself. I like Tufts location, the school itself, the overall student body, the atmosphere of the school, the clincal training, the weather, the fact that the T stop is right at NEMC, chinatown across the street...it goes on.

BUT, I like different things than you. Which is why I will give you a road to the resources that'll help you make your decision. Also, congrats!

I have to say BU is a type of school that's willing to accept anybody as long as u r willing to fork out the $ for their outrageous tuition. I feel as though people that attend there are bunch of rejects that can't go anywhere else. The same thing goes with nyu. Half of the students at BU are from Kali....why would they come so far for school and pay that amount of money....it's definitely not for the school reputaion because it has non......it's because BU is a reservoir for rejects that can't get anywhere better. BU has regional interviews...kinda desperate u think. BU is among the first to send out their acceptances. One good thing bout BU is that it's such a eazy dental school. If u r looking for a eazy curriculum and willing to pay for it...then BU is for u. Oh yeah....the state of mass recently passed a bill that cuts down on the dental procedures that the state is willing to pay for welfare patients....since most of ur patients r welfare patients....wut do u think it's going to happen. The school was having alot of trouble of getting patients but I think BU is picking up half of the bill now....but ultimately the students are paying for it out of their tuitions.

If I were you, I would choose Tufts.

I think this thread was around before?

Either way, I think the overall consensus is that Tufts is a far better school. At least I hope so - they are getting my deposit soon!

BU is more expensive, and I have heard time and time again that the reputation isn't so hot, whereas Tufts reputation is outstanding. The Army is paying for my education so I don't have to worry about the cost...but whatever. Somehow I feel as though it would be an insult to anyone who didn't get into Tufts if you went to BU.

Keep in mind, this is a very narrow minded and opinionated thread.
