What are the best things about attending UCSF School of Dentistry?
The pass/no pass system is one of the best things about this school. It helps eliminate competition between classmates, and everyone is willing to help each other out. Students don’t have to worry about receiving incorrect information from other students or people holding out on study resources because everyone will receive the same grade in the end. The school does offer ‘commendations’ and ways for students to show that they have excelled in certain fields of dentistry. However, we aren’t sure if these actually help for specializing as residency programs don’t really know what they are, or what was required to get one. The P/F system still creates a very relaxed environment and enables opportunities for other things like research, and other social life.
