Baltimore Dental School
Q: Hello, I am a college senior that has finished applying to dental school
and have received offers from B.U. and Temple, is waiting on U of Penn.
and has been waitlisted from my state school of U. of Md. I have
obviously done some research into all of these schools and I have come to
some conclusions which I was wondering if someone could validate.
Temple appears to be a very good school with a large patient supply
(being in north Philadelphia) with very nice and new facilities. Overall
a good school clinically.
U of Boston also seems to be excellent clinically with their APEX program
(a program where you do internships with practicing dentists) however I
have heard that being in Boston with a total of 3 dental schools in the
area, it can be difficult sometimes for students to see enough
patients)and the school is very expensive.
A:The cheaper the better unless there is a big difference in quality of
education. I don't think there is a big difference between the schools you've
named except for Md and that is because I don't really know anything about
Maryland.
I have a daughter in high school or wants to follow in dad's footsteps so I
watch these discussions pretty carefully.
i agree w/ dr. ruff. i earned a dmd from florida, did ortho at penn & a gpr
