Hello all dental students:
Just wondering if you think your undergrad "prepared" you BETTER for d-school compared with your graduating class.
I'm asking because I personally think I am in a terribly difficult institution ...I'm NOT saying it's BETTER than other's in my area...but rankings would say otherwise . Anyways I am pretty sure that I would've gotten better grades if I went to a "crappier school" and would've had an easier time getting accepted to d-school.
However, I do sorta/kinda think that attending the school I'm @ will better prepare me for d-school (if I get in) compared to going to the "crappier school".
E.g. hands down, if I did my undergrad @ Oxford - I'm SURE I'd be getting crappier grades than I'm getting now, BUT I also think I'd be EVEN better prepared.
I guess I'm just trying to make myself feel better for my non-competitive GPA.
What do you all think?
P.S. Pls try not bashing out other schools...that's not my intention!
EDIT: by "crappier school" I mean it in the nicest way lol. Being not on par with Oxford, Cambridge & top institutions in US, etc. (thanks tacoelf...dr i mean )You know what I'm sayin! And that's why i used the quotation marks.
