Calgary schools for DA?

Hi guys!

I am thinking of switching from pharmacy assistant to dental assistant (pharm is the ghetto) but I kinda should do it asap.

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on which school is the best? I understand that SAIT is the gold standard but I am afraid I can't get in for a number of reasons. So I'm between KDM, Columbia, and CDI. I know these are less reputable than SAIT, so I am worried that dentists will not wanna hire me if they see I'm from one of those schools. Or the board exam and the registration are all that count in the end anyway? Does anyone have any first hand info on this?

FYI, the tuition is not a concern for me, the main thing is to be able to get started quickly.
