Hi everyone! I got accepted to several amazing dental schools yesterday, but UCLA and Penn are my top two choices. I'm a California resident and got a scholarship to UCLA and to Penn.
I absolutely loved Penn at the interview and would be happier living in Philadelphia than Los Angeles. I don't mind moving to the east coast, and I'm used to the harsh winters, since I go to school in the midwest. My family lives about 5 hours away from UCLA, so it'd be a much easier to commute if I wanted to go home for a weekend, but I also don't plan on doing that too often.
Everyone says to go to the cheapest dental school, but I 100% loved Penn. Even though Penn is more expensive than UCLA, would it be silly not to go to the cheapest dental school? (For reference, I'm thinking about getting involved in academia post-graduation, and I don't think I want to specialize, but of course that can change).
