Hi guys,
I tried searching for a website with each dental school's average board scores and specialty rates but could not find it. I know I saw it somewhere on here but I'm having a little difficulty. Does anyone know where I can find this information? Thankssss

Dental forum may be a bit more helpful

I think the pre-dent forum is perfectly appropriate for this question -- great statistics to have when choosing a school.

Unfortunately, however, I'm pretty sure they aren't published. This is why you'll hear about 8 schools claim to have one of the top five average scores. Good question though.

I have found that schools can, and do word this differently to skew their rankings.

Some schools state: Ranked #X for overall passing rates of students at the school

Other schools state: Ranked #Y for overall average

The first ranking can have more students pass, but with a lower overall average. The later can have a higher overall average score, but also a few more students who did not pass (these scores masked by the very high scores of their classmates).
