debt after UCLA vs. total cost

[vamosbears]

Why is there a big gap between average indebtedness at UCLA vs. total cost for four years, $246,656? Is there rest payed for with grants and scholarships? What if you did not get a scholarship, closer to total cost?

average indebtedness is 147,483 by the way.

I'm guessing rich parents.

I am just a predent, but my guess is some have 0 to little debt from parents or military scholarships. The rest have a debt of full tuition. The average of these two groups could come out to 147 thousand.

Actually, from what I understand it is about $160,000.

Could it be that tuition was cheaper for the dentists that just graduated compared to those just entering school?
