I've read a lot on this forum about the cost of dental schools and that private ones are much more expensive, but I'd just like to get an idea about what you guys think about the whole issue.
I'm Canadian, and if I were to go to a Canadian dental school I'd pay 175 k Canadian over four years versus 350 k Canadian at a private US dental school, but I think the cost should not be even considered for a student who wishes to truly pursue a career in dentistry because 350 k can be payed off pretty soon after you graduate, and dentists are among the highest paid in the US and Canada.
For me personally I am only going to apply to American private schools, because my 3.53 will not cut it at a Canadian school, most if not all have average GPA's of 3.8. I also think that 350 k is not that huge of an amount to dissuade someone from going to a private dental school if it's their only choice i.e. myself.
Go dentistry!
