Please give me some inputs, so I can make a decision quickly and free up a spot for other students. 🙂

NYU:
pro- I LOVE NYC.
con- class-size is 360, the building seems a little old, students at NYU didn't seem very nice.

Tufts:
pro- smaller class-size than NYU (still too big), love the huge windows in the clinics, students and staff seemed very friendly
con- not in NYC.

Really? You're going about choosing a dental school based on window sizes and the date the buildings were built?

I'm an avid fan of Dr. Charles Bertolami and Dr. Brian Schmidt.

NYU's a big research producer and that's important to me, probably not as much to you. I'm expecting a lot of great things to come out of NYU for the next decade. Their clinical requirements are structured very much like running a private practice (could be good or bad). They have an honors program if that's important to you.

I know nothing of Tufts.

Thanks for the input. I forgot that UCSF has two faculties leaving for NYU. Do you think that will really impact NYU's structure?

I mean it is already very big (with international students taking almost 1/3 of the class) for all four years.

"...really impact NYU's structure?"

You do realize that their dean is Dr. Charles Bertolami, right? Who has more power over the way the school is run than the dean?

I also didn't apply to Tufts because we have little in common.

There is another thread here that compares Tufts to NYU. There are some useful opinions in there.
