How to format your "Help me decide" thread:
Things in red are what you edit/delete! Then you can select your entire post and change the font color to black.
Title: "School X (IS/OOS) vs. School Y (IS/OOS) (vs. School Z, etc)"
-- You can add a poll if you would like to --
Post:
School 1: name
* IS/OOS?
Pros:
* IS/OOS?
Pros:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things to consider when making a pros/cons list:
- Cost (list costs if you are comfortable doing so, taking into account scholarships, in-state vs out-of-state tuition, and living expenses); also mention if you are applying for/received NHSC/HPSP
- Location/distance from home
- If the school is graded or P/F
- What kind of city/region the school is located in (large/small, urban/rural/metro, etc)
- Weather- makes a huge difference
- If you want to specialize or be a GP
- Anything special the school does/has (like certain externships, or opportunities)
The more information you post, the better input you can get from others, so please be descriptive! Ultimately the decision is up to you, but other members can only help you if they know what sorts of things are important to you.
Best of luck, future dentists! See you in the field someday!
* I will try my best to edit the titles of threads so the are easily searchable in the future, but if I make a mistake, please PM me! *
