I totally agree with the posters such as @DadTwoGirls . Go cheap, go where you can get high grades and have fun. I have a son who just completed his first year in a DVM program with top grades. It didn’t matter what college he went to undergrad. He is happy he went to a big state U with high merit and BS/DVM program (7years) and to this point has no debt, has offers to do work for credit at several places in other states and had time to even be president of his large fraternity. He went into professional school without burn-out. Several of his classmates from “more prestigious schools” are already burning out from nothing but work undergrad.
Dental is the same boat. They don’t care about undergrad prestige. Try not to go into professional school already burnt out!
