I thought it would be interesting to find out what everyone is paying in advanced standing programs in different dental schools across the country. I did a little research myself and found some interesting numbers from school websites. These aren't the most updated/accurate/official figures and a lot of program says "other fees" to be included ....so please bear with me. SDNers/Current students, please feel free to correct/add to this list or add on any schools I have not included.

East coast
UMinn fees is 75+ 3000=78,000 inclu everything except living expenses
BU= 70+ few thousand extra
UTSA= 65 and 59 for 1st and 2nd year for non-residents
Colorado = 66 and 63
Alabama= 75 and 75 and 32 for one semester
UPenn = 75 and 74
UMich - 77 and 72

West coast
UCLA= 82 AND 56
USC= 73 and 70
UOP = 97 and 86 (tution is 76 and 80 and rest is other fees , health insurance and some other items as well- all expenses inclusive , other schools don't have all expenses incl on website)
UCSF = 101 and 76
most schools fee arrangement is for class of 2010..so two years behind except UOP which is for current year

Very intresting work, congratulations for your wonderful step. From your data it looks like utsa seems to be the cheapest while alabama unlike other schools seems to charge an extra 32k for a seperate semester. Your data can be used as a prelimenary for a person who is worried about choosing the right school.

Sure keep in mind that though money is an important there are other things that are perhaps as important

length
location
research-based/high specialization rate/general dentistry
more time spent in pre-clinical vs less
class size- varies from 3 to 110
how structured is the program
new program-just started

Great Job friend, It will help everyone to analyse.

There is no second thought that fees is an important factor while considering a dental school if somebody has blessed with multiple acceptance offers.

Access to best clinical exposure is very important. After becoming a dentist, there will be a stage in your life when you will be able to make 40,000 in two months.

You decide!

Best wishes your decisions!!👍

P.S. Everyone has their own priorities and immediate needs, all depends upon several factors. 🙄

As Ibuprofen does not suit to everyone.😀

Nicely said 🙂
Especially, when you said, ACCESS to BEST clinical EXPOSURE is VERY important. After becoming a dentist, there will be a stage in your life WHEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE 40,000 in TWO MONTHS.
Liked that 👍👍👍

Thank you very much for sharing lot of info for others, MissionISP.

Yes, PROFESSIONAL SATISFACTION is the BIGGEST RETURN and ALWAYS ABOVE ANY OTHER reason,
I'm 100% agree with what you said,
I'm glad that you supported me and the truth.

I always prefer quality, no matter what ppl say on any threads,
Thanks for the appreciation!

Seems like you're on selfless mission,
Loved this information,
I'm sure everyone would love this share of information,

So organized .. anyways, you asked for a favor,
How may I help and contribute here?
Leave some pointers on my PM Box,

See you in July!!! 🙂😀🙂

Good work indeed!👍👍👍
 
Please read on- I guess most affected would be those at UCSF and UCLA, don't know if other California private schools would increase fees as well.

@IMPACT :::

Thanks once again for providing this link:
Now, this should be the BIGGEST eye OPENER for many candidates. Be ready to pay higher for UCLA and UCSF. I mentioned the same information in other threads. The raise is gonna be up to 30% for other fields, heard it from domestic students. So, lets see how it fares for dentistry. Hope it doesn't. Well, this rule most likely will not apply to USC, LLU and UOP as those are the PRIVATE universities and are not regulated by GOVERNMENT = UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.

Hope it helps!

Whaaaat?? TUFTS thinking abt closing the international program???????????????
 
UCSF fee hike is going to be only 0 to 3% since the IDP program is not directly funded by the state. Confirmed that with Mary Pham.

3% is quite standard yeh...as most schools financial webpage says to expect a fee hike in that range every academic year! Will definitely check with Pacific people on Monday ...fingers crossed!! Don't want to be shelling out anymore $$$ .

P.S. God! please letz not have anymore recession in the next 2 years!

Here's what Warren told me- last year the fee+living expenses was in range on 126,000 with tution amounting to 100,000, however these are approximate numbers. The regents would take a final decision on this years fees by January when they will let everyone know.
 
Amazing piece of work!!!

The numbers seem quite current.

Its important to know how much we are shelling out for dental school.














I thought it would be interesting to find out what everyone is paying in advanced standing programs in different dental schools across the country. I did a little research myself and found some interesting numbers from school websites. These aren't the most updated/accurate/official figures and a lot of program says "other fees" to be included ....so please bear with me.

most schools fee arrangement is for class of 2010..so two years behind except UOP which is for current year
 
very good piece of work!
I think all we need is the license to practice and we all have some experience in our home country so I think choice would be to hit the cheapest school and the one which has the shortest lenght[subject to acceptance ofcourse] as learning would require one's own efforts. I remeber few of my friends who did only california bench[when it was open] no formal schooling in US and are doing extremely good
 
As i see the price is and expensive one !
Is there anyway to get a loan without a green card ?

You can get loan from your home country. But Most of the time it want be sufficient to even cover 3 quarter fees. So loan from states with a cosigner is the only option in most of the case. Or else if you are tha wealthy to put the cost out of your pocket then it is the best option!:idea:
