tuition

Do merit scholarship decisions come out around the same time as financial aid packages (~Spring)? Can it be combined with need-based grants/FAFSA? How likely do med schools give merit scholarships anyways? Is it just for top percentile students? I don't think I would get a full scholarship for...

For those who have been, are, or will be in a similar situation as me, where you're worrying about copious expenses for graduate school: Please, help! This is my current situation: I just got accepted into the DPT program at Bond University in Australia and am trying to figure out how I am...

I'm just curious if this is a thing, but is it possible to somehow claim residency of a state after a year of dental school in order to pay in-state tuition? I realize it probably isn't that easy, but I've heard states differ with regards to what the requirements are for residency.

How likely is it to get a scholarship at an MD school? What factors do they take into account when extending a scholarship offer? Is it just having a high GPA and MCAT? Is it based on your experiences? Is it based on your family income?

I'm a Canadian with an engineering background (including a master's). I have a GPA of 3.7-3.85, depending on how you calculate it. I'm still waiting for my MCAT score and it will basically determine if I have good chances for Canadian schools or not. I'm trying to understand the entire process...

If a pharmacy school wants you bad enough will they partially pay for your tuition? I currently have over a 4.0 GPA and just finished the PCAT today with a composite preliminary score of 433 (95th percentile). Gauging the average GPA and PCAT scores of accepted students to certain schools I'm...

Hi! I am looking to begin my career in OT. I graduated with a BA in Sociology in January 2016. I am mainly looking at Stony Brook's OT program, since that is where I attended undergrad. However, I have none of the science prerequisites. Do you think it would look better on my application if I...

This is a question for those of you who completed your DPT degree at a private school. Was it worth it? Do you regret not going to an in-state, public school? As a student applying in the upcoming cycle, the temptation to go to a private school is definitely there--I imagine the students, the...

Hi, so I thought that I would just go accounting and turn away from NYU but something is nagging at my brain to try and go through with dentistry. I was already accepted into NYU but would it be feasible to wait another year essentially and try for another, cheaper school (away from the...

I recently was accepted to Midwestern University in Downers Grove for pharmacy, Chicago State, and Roselyn Franklin. Unfortunately, I missed one prerequisite for UIC, so my application was withdrawn. My first choice is the best from the schools I got accepted, Midwestern. However, I do realize...

So I had a post up earlier complaining about NYU's debt load (450-500k) and realized that I would need a high paying job in order to slam those down. I realize NYC is pretty saturated but where would be the best area to go in New York state to get a higher starting salary? The jobs that do exist...

Hello. I was recently accepted into NYU which was just a back up honestly. I thought that with my stats I would have gotten into more schools here in the northeast but I was left with the most expensive ones like Boston University and NYU. DAT: 22AA 22TS 23 Bio 22GC 21OC 24PAT 22QR...

Hi. I've been accepted into a state school that I'm happy with. After many months of silence I recently received an interview invite to an OOS school I perceive equal in terms of academics, rankings, whatever. However, it is in an urban center, which is desirable to me. Given that it is OOS, the...

Long time lurker on this forum but first time posting!! Okay here it goes, please don't rip me to shreds :) I am a Canadian student finishing up my bachelor of science this year. GPA: 3.9/4.0 MCAT: to be written this Spring!! Late because of the ECs I have done in the past summers (research, my...

Hi Guys, I just got accepted into Rush University's OTD program. I really want to attend because I think the school is a perfect fit and is also very well known for its OT program. Moreover, there are no OTD's near where I currently live and I am interested in pursuing...

I've been doing research while waiting to hear back from Temple. I've been accepted to Thomas Jefferson and Ohio State. From the websites it looks like tuition would be about 105k total at TJU and 65k at OSU (in-state tuition). The only downside of OSU being I would have to pay for an...

Hey, everyone. I have recently become interested in pursuing a career as a doctor. I'd like to specialize in pediatric neurology. A little background info: I recently graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in English, so I don't have any of the prerequisites required for med school. I...

I wanted to start a thread to help people estimate the total cost of attendance dental schools (tuition, fees, living costs, and interest included). I have uploaded a excel file where you can easily estimate the cost of a school you are interested in. Feel free to add your calculations for a...

I know medical school isn't exactly like college, but does anyone know how many "credits" are in a standard curriculum? I cannot find this information anywhere, and assume it varies between schools. My scholarship will pay a certain amount per credit for doctorate degrees, so I am trying to...

Does anyone have any experience being awarded the NHSC Scholarship? I applied and I'm going to a private dental school where the cost is upward of 100K and I'm wondering if they even give the scholarship to someone going to private schools because the tuition is so high. Anyone have any...

Hey all. I truly appreciate those who take the time to help out other students on here. I'm applying this cycle and I've compiled a master Excel of the top 80 MD schools with GPA, MCAT, IS/OOS percentages, Financial info on a few, letter info on a few, and more. This info is from StartClass, a...

I'm entering the second year of my DPT program and am really concerned about my loan disbursement for this coming year. I live and pay tuition with 100% loans, so I have the Graduate PLUS Loan in addition to the Federal Unsubsidized Loan. I recently learned that my loans will be split completely...

If I grew up in Illinois my whole life, but am attending a large state school in a different state for undergrad, what state am I still considered "in-state" for medical school?

Does loans for dental school work the same way as undergrad: you only have to pay your EFC and the rest is covered by the school or do you pay sticker price for all school?

Hello, So I just finished up my Freshman year at Boston University, where I'm majoring in Behavior and Health, a program designed to prepare students for OT school. I'm hoping to intern/volunteer this summer at an Applied Behavioral Analysis center in my home state. However, my main goal is to...

Hey everybody, I'm a third grade non-accredited dental student. And i'm trying to figure out how to complete advanced education in US and go back to my country and work here. I've got few questions: 1- My desire is to get my advanced education and go back. 2- Should i get DDS or...

I am aware of the sentiment surrounding this topic. I was accepted to one OOS school and denied at my state school. I am very thankful for my acceptance and liked this school when I interviewed. I am going forward with everything to attend in the fall, but here are the stress inducing things...

*NOTE: I just got accepted to SUNY Downstate Medical Center. So I want to decide between SUNY and TWU. Ignore my comment about NYU. Too much $$) Hey guys, I have asked this question to my friends but I want to ask you guys for insights. I am born in NYC and moved to a teeny town in Texas...

Hello all, I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I have been lucky enough to be chosen by two schools, but at the same time it has given me some headache because I am sitting here calculating the real cost of dental school. I understand that on paper the MOSDOH one is cheaper by about...

Hey everybody/anybody! First time poster here, trying to narrow down my list of schools to apply for and wanted to see if anyone has experience with changing residency for tuition purposes at NC and could tell me what the process was like? I've read over their page, and saw that one of...

I've narrowed it down to two schools, but could use some advice on what may or may not be better based on the experience of others. I loved both schools and they were my top choices after interviewing! That's why it is such a hard choice...I'll list what I see as pro's and con's to both schools...

Hey all! So I'm a non-trad (28 years old, MA in social sciences) who's been living abroad for the last 4 years. I was born, raised, and educated entirely in Florida. Now that I'm pursuing some pre-med pre-reqs I figured I'd return to my hometown in FL, live w/ my mom for a year and hammer out...

So I just found SDN's school rankings page (took me a while), and Baylor showed up at the top, with, as I'm sure most of you know, an absurdly low in state and out of state tuition. Is there a reason the tuition is this low? Are all TX schools like that? Are TX schools more selective, or prefer...

Hello. Does anyone know if SUNY optometry allows in-state tuition for greencard holders? Anyone who is a green card holder going to SUNY? https://www.sunyopt.edu/education/admissions/tuition-fees/ I checked the website, however, it seems like they allow only citizens for in-state tuition after...

What data is most important in considering whether to apply to a school as an OOS applicant? Percentage out of state? What is a reasonable OOS percentage to make it worth applying to a particular school? Thanks :)

Hello! Does anyone have any experience/knowledge about applying to this school as a resident? I will be moving there soon because my boyfriend is getting his PHD at UTK. I haven't decided whether or not I will apply to vet school, but I am definitely moving to Tennessee. Would it be difficult...
