Can someone give me a top 10 (or more) list for dental schools and why they think each school is best?

If you can just provide me with a list that would be fine but I am interested in why you think the schools are good also. I am in the process of preparing for dental school and I am trying to decide which schools to send my application to. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Here is one list--you should google this and for more information. Don't just go on the list number--you need to be realistic about the ones who may accept you, and where you will be in the best situation (size, recruitment, rigor, where located, etc.).











Harvard (If you have an ego go here. They accept the best!)





UCSF - (good reputation but students don't speak highly of their school)





Michigan





Columbia





Penn (In a bad neighborhood)





UCLA (in a very rich neighborhood)





Ohio State





Tufts - (OK place according to one student)





NYU (even the students say "don't come here")





Minnesota- (if you like the cold go here. Good school)





Illinois





Washington (highly prefers in-state residents)





Buffalo (do you know how cold it gets there?)





Temple (Nice school but in a dumpy neighborhood, otherwise a must apply)





Creighton





USC (In bad neighborhood and had a poor CA licensure pass rate in the year 2001)





Marquette





Case Western (spoke with some people and they enjoyed their experience)





Pitt (good experience, but many patients opt for extractions...poor patients)





North Carolina
