Hello predents, fellow dental school students, and lurkers:
I'm currently a D1 attending my top choice university and I've been REALLY curious as to why people are enamored by USC. Is it their diverse student body? The prestigious "brand name?" Or is it the "OMFG it's in Southern California and there's famous people and celebrities, and miles of beaches, European imports and beautiful women" factor?
I bring this question up, because several of my classmates at XYZ School of Dentistry are all like "are you insane for turning down USC? I would have gone to that school in a heartbeat!" As if USC equaled Harvard/UCLA/UPenn/Columbia, etc...
I've never really quite understood its appeal, despite its problems with PBL, abysmal board pass rates, and insanely high cost of attendance. What do you guys think?
