My advice to anyone would be go where it costs the least...some of the private schools are charging OUT-rageous amounts these days! Good luck to your daughter.

HHHhhHhhhhMMmmmmmmmmmmMmmMMMMmmmMmMmmm.............. ... Did you forget to turn off the lights or did you leave the water running in your cubicle? Maybe Y'all forgot to turn off the autoclaves when it was your turn? WELL????? ;-) SP SignatureFinally: take out the TRASHH I would add a plug for my alma mater [UD-M]. It is an "inner-city" school which means there would be more clinical experience than any student would ever be able to use. Great faculty. Not much of a tourist town (Detroit), but while in DS, who has time to sight-see? Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen [What's a Temporary?], D.D.S.

I'm surprised they let her in with a name like "Fawks". I guess a lot of the faculty has retired since we were in school. Fawks >>Angie (my daughter) should start Aug. '06 at UMKC.

I reallllly don't know how I sent that multiple times.......I'm scared. >my oldest daughter is about to apply to dental school. being from >Maine, there is no state school so she has to choose from a mix of [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >charlie ruff Think that it is best to school where you plan to practice, if possible. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com I have taught recent dental grads for over 20 years in Upstate NY, and I have a strong sense of the quality of the dental programs from which we've had any number of residents. And I'm happy to share my impressions with you, but the two disclaimers are: 1. I certainly haven't had students from all the Canadian/USA schools, so there's a lot not on the list. 2. A lot of good docs come out of mediocre programs (reverse also true). Definitely agree on Western Ontario. I would absolutely send my child there. Ohio State, Buffalo, Chapel Hill, University of British Columbia & Maryland would also make the cut. Univ. Toronto is OK - somewhat short on practical skills, more of an intellectual program - but a good school. Would have said the same thing about Boston a few years ago but have no recent experience. Not impressed: Tufts, Temple, NYU, Howard. Montreal: McGill probably the better of the two schools. Have to speak French at U of Mont. anyway! Formerly stellar schools that probably aren't too hot anymore: University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan (my alma mater, pains me to say it). Good luck, Charlie Your comments on UWO jive quite well with what I've heard from Canadian ortho residents that I interact with in Boston. Any thoughts on Meharry in Nashville or Dalhousie in Halifax? thanks for the thoughtful response charlie ruff I've never had a student from Dalhousie, but I've asked around (there're lot of dentists where I work) and it has a good reputation. I kinda have the bias there aren't any bad Canadian schools. My past impressions of students from Meharry - it's been a few years - have led me to believe it isn't all that demanding a program. Good ortho program here in Rochester, in case the kiddo eventually wants to go that route...... Oops - you're an Orthopedic MD, not an Orthodontist, right? I'm a dummy. Boy, I'm really a dummy - just reread your handle and saw it's ortho- dmd....I think I need to go to bed. > my oldest daughter is about to apply to dental school. being from > Maine, there is no state school so she has to choose from a mix of [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > charlie ruff All I know about Dalhousie is that it has a good grad school. Two of the local Perio Guys graduated Laval (Quebec, where I went as well) and came back from there with good Masters' level Perio certificates. However, I would highly recommend McGill. I did a multidisciplinary residency there and I found that they come outta there quite ready for the world. Though it is an asset, you don't have to know French at McGill, AFAIK. What impressed me about McGill is that the profs are mostly part-time. They have their own clinics or they work in the city, so the children get some good wet finger advice from down to earth dental educators. Cheers SP SignatureFinally: take out the TRASHH |
