Thank you for all your feedback. We have decided on UCONN. I appreciate all the insights which you have provided.

325 is much better than 625. Actually, it is 300-thousand plus interest better.

good luck

My daughter is a high school senior got into following 3 dental colleges and I would like your advice on which college to choose:

New York University College of Dentistry: 3 year undergrad + 4 year Dental: Approx. cost: $625,000

UCONN School of Dental: 4 year undergrad + 4 year Dental: Approx. cost: $325,000

CWRU School of Dental Medicine: Combined 6 year program: Approx cost: $ 500,000

Thanks

This is too easy

UCONN

Avg dental career can last 30+ years. 2 years early doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

especially when the person is getting out of school with 325k debt vs 500/625k debt

No fancy math needed

By going to UCONN I can avoid an additional 175k/300k at Case/NYU

Who cares about what one makes as associate first 2 years. The person has 175k/300k less debt overall

Ugh I rather spend extra 2 years undergrad; explore, travel; make friends; live life vs get out 2 years early and start fighting for the same pot of money along with every other dentist

We only get 1 life; i rather have some wonderful memories before reality hits


****wait; UCONN was decided; awesome!
