Hi,
I am an international dental student .I have been accepted at BU and have an interview with Upitt.I have been trying to gather more information on Upitt but there has been no response to them in the international forum(mostly due very few IDP students being accepted at Upitt :idea: ) so i am trying my luck here.Here are the Q's-
1.Is it just a rumour or is it true that Upitt had a very low patient pool?How much does this affect the clinical experience there?
2.Does it matter whether i graduate from Upitt or BU and if yes, how much and how?For eg-finding work after graduating?(I dont plan to specialise)
3.How is Upitt rated when compared to BU overall?

I need to know this before i commit for an interview as we have a bench clinical exam as a part of the interview process and i do not want spend more money going there and doing all that to get into a school i may not like.I shall really appreciate any information regarding the school.
Thanks

If you don't want to spend more money then decline the interview, leave that spot for someone else who is desperate to get in.

"BUSDM CLASS OF 2007" It seems like you're already made your choice. What's the point of asking?

Btw, all of the above are true!
1. Pitt has an extremely low patient pool, little to none clinical experience.
2. Finding a job is also extremely hard due to the DMD is from Pitt.
3. Pitt is second class education comparing to BU, lower rating according to USA Yesterday News http://hugiveadoodoo/rating.com

I'll be happy to pass your name and questions to Pitt Admission committee!

Inn2, this response is ridiculous. Give the guy a break. He may not be as "wise" and "all knowing" as you. I will give you credit for answering a few of his questions but in general, this post reflects poorly on you and your character.

the questions are ridiculous; it's only appropriate. The OP is not a newbie with 100+ posts, he should had known better. I agree 100% about the "wise" and "all knowing" part! I have to disagree with you about all of other stuffs!

Don't take my words for it, check out this thread

I know it's hard for you to accept! You just have to get used to it and learn to love me for who I am because it just take too much for me to change to be a better person 😉 I know, I'm such a horrible person! I'm all tied up in knots inside! still love me? 😀
