You can make as much as you want. Women do not have that luxury. With every donation, they are reducing their chances to have their own genetically healthy children. Quite the opportunity cost.Wut???? This is crap. My half of genetic material is only worth $60-70. I call shenanigans.
The jokes stop when interviews begin!!Cain't no one take a joke around here.
I just finished orientationThe jokes stop when interviews begin!!
Lol how much would you get for it?
Not sure how much you will get paid for donating your eggs, but I did read this article that there was a 3rd year medical student that was selling her virginity. A guy won the with a bid of $750,000.
Do people take out loans for just about everything then, including personal expenses (food, going out, etc) and living costs?
Why not work before dental school? Working a $16/hr job even for 5 months before dental school will give you a solid amount of cash for personal expenses. I'm working now while taking classes and will be taking the DAT next Summer and I'll keep working through the gap year. Shouldn't be a problem to save up $30k+ for food/housing/etc during dental school. Taking loans out for all of your personal expenses sounds terrible.
It saves you some $ which is good. But then what 2yr? You will still have to take out loan for personal expense, just not as much.
$16/hr, paid for the DAT expenses, dental school application fee + secondary fees, interview expenses (hotels + flights + food...), car shipping (almost $1000), traveling in August before school starts, apartment rent, moving expenses, buying stuff that I can't move, and unforeseen expenses.Working a $16/hr job even for 5 months before dental school will give you a solid amount of cash for personal expenses.

My bank is almost empty.
Saving up $30K is harder than you think unless you want your parents to pay for everything while you're racking up the money.
True. I was looking at the situation from my shoes and was thinking that the average pre-dent would be able to live at home while working, which would save them from rent and big food costs, or at least they wouldn't be paying out of pocket for tuition/room&board/meal plan [deferring loans until after dental school]. Also assuming that you spent $10k on taking the DAT/traveling/applying, but you still have $5k left in the bank [you were working your $16/hr job before the DAT and had $15k saved]. If you keep making $16/hr and working full-time that's $30k+$5k = $35k. Of course you have to subtract gas, food, and other expenses during that time period. So even if you spent $15k on gas, flight to school, car shipping, apartment rent, furniture, tuition, and food, you still will have around $20k. Nothing huge but you should be able to pay for rent and food for at least a little while. Again this is just me assuming that you wanted to just focus on saving and earning money before dental school. If you're paying $30k/year for undergrad + rent out of pocket, after getting accepted into dental school, then of course loans will be the only option

Just some quick calculations..if you put that 30K into an investment account, let it grow over the next 40 years without adding anything to the account, assuming a modest 6% return (historical average is 8%), that 30K would grow to $308,571. If you took out that 30K in student loans your first year of dental school, you will make $55,132 in total loan payments for that 30K at the current interest rate assuming you are on a 20 year payback schedule. So, by not taking out that loan, you will lose $253,439. And, just by waiting 5 more years to put that 30K away, the money will only grow to $230,582 so worst case spending that money vs investing and taking out a loan, you will lose $77,989.
lol. Where do you have an extra $30k laying around? Let's be realistic here.
