Hello I know there are a lot of schools up there to choose from but I’m totally at a loss. I live in Illinois so as you can see these schools spread all throughout the country. Also in the comparison, money is not an issue in terms of COA. I understand it’s always thought that the cheaper the better but I really want to specialize. Can you help me figure out which of these options will give me the best connections/footing to get into a specialty program post dental school?
I know USC has an outrageous cost and is in a dangerous location, but it has good connections seems like even though California dentists make less in salary anyway.
I know CWRU has great research and that’s definitely a pro for specialization but it’s kind of a mystery and cleveland isn’t the best area.
I know absolutely nothing about Nova, and the fact that it’s osteopathic dentistry and a young institution makes me feel like it’s less respected. But man I love Florida weather.
Finally, UIC is a fine school. It has all specialties in house so you can make contacts that way. Also it’s in a really bad neighborhood.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated ! If I’m incorrect in my ideas or anything like that please let me know, I’m lost.
