ASDOH vs Minnesota

I have used doc toothache's cost guide and Minnesota's website for tuition and costs but seemed to be a bit confused on exact numbers. If someone can clarify the OOS tuition for Minnesota I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Pending cost verification (I'm too lazy to check, sorry) which we all know is the reason of all reasons, think about location and then all the junk here:

Minnesota is hardly comparable to Western, but there's heavy ASDOH info in there.

Yeah I guess I should've just made a thread on Minnesota's tuition cost. I agree that cost is the most important factor and just wanted clarification on Minnesota's tuition- I have heard it's super expensive. I was just wondering if someone could clarify the summer tuition and tuition hikes per year at Minnesota.

Minnesota was working out to about $368k for all 4 years, with tuition to rise in the near future. I think they're looking at something like $100k per year for OOS, which is C R A Z Y. That's the main reason I turned down their interview...even if I somehow managed to get in, the cost isn't worth it. ASDOH also had the cost of $368k, but I think that's wrong for ASDOH. Just because you don't need the full amount of money they're offering for living expenses. You could live off $24k EASY (this is being too generous) and they gave $30k per year. So that would push ASDOH's costs down to $342k.

I'm having a hard time deciding between UMich and ASDOH, so for me, the costs aren't really in play because they're very close. So I guess the next step is to really look at which program is more suited for you (and me). You'll have to see if you want the college town (UMN) or just a couple buildings of graduate students (ASDOH), and whether you want the full spectrum of dentistry available (specialties, etc) or general & ortho at ASDOH. Good luck!
