Expected NYU tuition to be 700k.

From what I see and based on my research NYU is a good school in terms of its fair tuition rate among private schools, various extracurricular opportunities in outreach, research, patient pools.

You're thinking about this wrong. No private schools offers "fair" tuition. All of them are so ridiculously over priced that if you can't get into your state school dental school likely isn't financially worth it. It's sad, but true. Had I not gotten into my state school, I wouldn't have gone.

So basically I can see the argument is that NYU is not a worth school that people should go because of its expenses.
The most commonly seen premises are 1) a dental school is just a place where dentists get license, that is it 2) a school that costs more than 500k is not worth going to
conclusion: NYU is not worth it, people shouldn’t come.
Okay. Let’s assume that these two premises are in fact true and correct without doubt its validity and authenticity, then we should exam the conclusion again and ask that the unworthiness is due to NYU or NYC? From what I see and based on my research NYU is a good school in terms of its fair tuition rate among private schools, various extracurricular opportunities in outreach, research, patient pools. The issue of living expenses such as rent, food, transportation is not controlled by NYU. It is by NYC government as well as your personal financial management skills. Students should really need to ask themselves is that do I like NYC, do I think living in NYC is worth the money, and do I have budgeting skills because NYU itself is a great school in my opinion.

There is no such thing as fair tuition. There is so much administration bloat and actions I view as blatant money grabs from schools. I don’t think my state school offers “fair” tuition and it’s ~ $40K/y. If I had only gotten into private schools I too would not have gone to DS.

Where you go to dental school doesn’t matter according to literally EVERY dentist you will ever talk to. No matter how much better one school is over another everything evens out after practicing a few years or doing a residency. NYU isn’t even a “good” school clinically so this point is moot too.

It’s not just NYU, there is no reason to go to a dental school that costly.

Should this statement come with a paid spokesperson disclaimer?

After reading this thread, I start to feel stressed because I am afraid that NYU and USC are the only schools that would accept me......

I have decent stats (21AA, 3.89GPA), decent experiences (research, volunteer, etc) except low shadowing hours (66 hours) due to COVID.
I applied to 19 programs and only got 4 interviews (Nova, U of Maryland, NYU, USC). But I feel like I screwed up the Maryland interview.

So I don't know......

Look into HPSP. Your stats are definitely competitive.

It really is a joke. Especially taking into consideration the premium of living in NYC, getting very little return on what you pay to live there, AND nothing here is able to be enjoyed as it once was. Good luck Class of 2025!

This is crazy, the cost of living in NYC is way too high. If only NYU dental was free like NYU medical.

What @fermi555 said. You are smart enough to get good stats. Be smart about financial decision and pursue HPSP.

If a school wants you to pay this much to attend, then do not go to that school. If more students chose to avoid these schools (NYU, Harvard, USC) and these schools had a harder time filling their classes, then they would lower the price. It's a simple concept of supply and demand. The demand to attend these schools are unfortunately very high because they are prestigious. Thus the price goes up because they won't have trouble filling their seats. You see, a large percentage of dentists are terrible with finances. Getting a dental degree from your state school or literally anything cheaper is the same as getting your dental degree from NYU. If you want to specialize, you will do whatever it takes to get there no matter what school you attend, and the name of the school will not get you in. Statistically, most dental students become general dentists, so do not overpay for your degree.
