I am really wanting to attend U Penn dental but I cannot due to financial problems. I do not have to do any federal scholarship program that requires me to work for the govenrment. What options do I have to somehow get $110K a year?

And on a side note, do you guys think it's worth $450K to go to an Ivy school?

Do you ever ask your dentist where they got their degree from?

How much was UAB at the end? I hear great things about it.

By financial problems, do you mean you will have to take out full loans?

...loans?

What kind of financial problems are you having that doesnt allow you to take out loans?

And if you're asking if it's worth it solely for the ivy league name? No.
But UPenn does have a phenomenal clinics program, Im sure you know all about that. Which is definitely worth it if you're looking to go into GP.

My father makes enough that government may not support me fully the costs of U Penn. However, he will retired and then what?

And yes, I would have to take out all loans.

Your parents income has nothing to do with you getting a loan for professional school.

You are considered an independent student for fafsa purposes.

How do you mark it? I did not really see a specific place to mark Health Profession on FAFSA before submitting it.

You don't have to mark anything, just submit it to the school you will be attending. They know who you are and program you're entering.
