I know a lot of people will say UPenn for prestige/good specialty placement...but I LOVE Boston, so I say Tufts. 😀

8 SCHOOLS!?!?!?! Wow. Make your decision quickly and free up those other 7 seats!

If it were me, I would go with the cheapest.

 

[Natoh]

If I were you, Stony Brook.

really somethin to talk about with your close friends and family, pal 🙂 We don't know if ur a city boy, like the heat, want to specialize, do research, want to be close to home, care about pristige, want to have a puppy, wear polka dotted underwear......haha there are way too many factors that contribute to this question.

you could ask "whats the best school in regards to research/clinic/etc...."

 

[StirrinIt]

BUT, to help ur thread rather than simply criticize you..

I hate the east coast: leaving nova and mich..

nova=relaxed, warm weather
michigan seemed tight assed to me, had an "uppity" attitude, the students didnt seem very happy and it was the only interview i had that didnt leave me excited for the next 2-4 years. BUT did have great techno-innovation. I have a friend there who likes it

Why did you bother asking then? Just to let everyone know you got into more schools than them?

 

[ashlander]

Penn

 

[OxfordM3]

Can't beat the Florida sunshine, not impressed with NOVA though. I would go with Penn.

allright buddy...you don't have to be a jerk here....its just out of curiosity

 

[MTD52]

He has a very good point - you're really the one acting like a jerk here. Why would you make this thread about being accepted to 8 schools and they straight up tell people, "yeah your opinion really doesn't mean anything. I just wanted to see what you would say."

In any case, what's the cheapest? Go there.

I'm not trying to be a jerk. Regardless of your intentions, what it looks like is you got accepted to 8 schools and wanted to flaunt it. Why would you bother starting a thread and wasting everyone's time having them weigh in on which school they would choose if they were in your shoes if you didn't even care what responses you got? I think it's great you got into 8 schools, there's no way I, nor most people, could have ever done that. Your comment just gave the impression that you were trying to rub it in.

 

[DentalTrain]

I say Howard, but that's just me.

 

[Doctor PJ]

i agree with dentaltrain...i say Howard too! I have 9 acceptances 😀

haha get a clue dude...i'm asking b/c i want to hear peoples reasons for choosing a particular school...maybe someone will make a point that really persuades me......although i know this isnt a decision to make based people's opinions here...just relax buddy, it's simply out of curiosity, nothing more, nothing less....jeez😕

you are right...i'm stupid for asking a simple question....sorry🙄

people need to relax a little bit

I will never trust you again...

 

[jdm789]

whatever, i'm not going to argue with anyone.....

I simply posted out of curiosity....didn't expect to get grilled for it

 

[gunner87]

make up your mind on what you are posting for. We all know you wanted to flaunt your acceptances. go bask in your glory for another 8 months while it still matters

 

[Tommy43087]

lol i was jus jokin....

But yea that was stupid of you to post somethin like that and then say it wont affect your decision at all,

Dont be so naive if you dont wanna get grilled.

 

[jdm789]

remind me when i said i was better than anybody?

we are all going to end up with a dental degree in the end....i don't get the rationale behind some of these comments.

For the people who actually answered my initial question, thank you🙂

There is absolutely no problem with the question, it's just the way you come off when you ask everyone's opinion and follow it by saying that you really don't give a **** what anyone says. I realize that's more extreme than what you said, but that's sort of how it's coming off, live you're above it all. It's great if you want to hear from other people, it's just not great when you tell them you don't really care what they have to say.

Like I said, I would go to the one that will leave you in the least debt, unless of course you really hate that school, whichever that may be.

the only reason i said it would have no impact on my choice is b/c someone told me this isnt a question i should be asking on here, and that its a question for me to discuss with family instead. I just didn't think people would take my response literally, i really meant it wouldn't impact my decision a lot (by a lot i mean that people's responses on here aren't going to make or break my decision)....i'm just interested in people's reasons for why they would choose a certain school. I know its a stressful time for EVERYONE, i just wish people wouldn't take my question so seriously as to take it as an insult......

and obviously if I didn't care what people had to say about what school they chose, i wouldn't have asked the question

 

[StirrinIt]

i think this guy should get it too.... he's not even beating around the bush with his bragging!

this is what we were all wondering. Why are you so defensive when you have clearly contradicted yourself? Just let your parents make the call for you.

 

[jdm789]

this is like a 3rd grade argument

 

[golf05]

Where do you picture yourself studying day in and day out? How long will it take for you to get to campus every day and every night? Are there places to grab lunch or a cup of coffee in your free hour(s)? 😉 Is it convenient for when you have to stay after til 10pm doing lab work?

Once you narrow it down to 2 or 3, then look at price.

I like to practice saying, "I'm a D1 at ____ in ____! It's a great program and I love the location! I fit in with my classmates."

Haha. I just realized that sounded like I'm the girl who looks in the mirror and tell herself that she's beautiful! lol
