Haha, I really don't even know why I'm bothering to respond to someone who's a predent...I obviously didn't get on here to flame people, my original intention was to help out and give people examples of recent grad financial situations. My wife, as I said, worked at the dental school I attended both in research as she is a statistician, and with the PI of her grant who was on the admin committee at my school. She also applied to dental school, got in, but didn't go. She occasionally logs in to SDN with my screen name because she knows way more about the dental school administration aspect than I do. She also did really well on the DAT and is way smarter than I am, so she has good applicant advice.
I am, in fact, a general dentist who grew up in Canada but am a dual citizen, and took out both US and Canadian loans. I am, in fact, producing and collecting the profit I claimed I did in above posts and I am currently meeting with my accountant to pay taxes on it, unfortunately.
I envy people that have the time to collect different facts from threads in the pursuit of proving someone wrong. Maybe you should be studying more for the DAT and less on SDN, eh?
Believe me or not, I couldn't care less. I was just trying to help. Good luck getting into dental school, it was a long 4 years but it paid off in the end.
