Georgia school of Orthodontics loans options

[LeoSMART88]

Hello,

GSO does not accept or certify any loans under the Federal Direct Student Loan Program (Student or Parent Programs).
GSO does not have lending relationships set up with private student lenders at this time. Securing loans from any source is the student’s responsibility.

Would anyone help with suggestions to pay the high tuition fees? The tuition fee for the 36-month program is $146,127- $173,244 per year.

Thank you!

Tuition is 150k a year?! What determines whether it is 146 or 173k?

Good luck getting a private loan for that. Not worth the tuition in my opinion. I’d call the program and ask how most people pay for it if you can’t get student loans. If you can’t get student loans or loans from a private lender, I’m not sure how else you would get funding. Contact current residents as well and ask them.

But seriously rethink attending this program. How much student debt do you have already?

If you have to get a loan to attend this program, then you are already making a mistake.
The only people who should be doing this program are those who come from families with the means to pay for it upfront.
Otherwise it's just a bad financial decision

GSO is a blatant scam that exists solely for the profit of the founders. You don't even have to take my word for it, your own findings in the OP lead to this conclusion.

I think we need @bigtimehoosier to weigh in on this for old times sake

 

[FutureDent020]

Wait.. A YEAR!? That’s unreal.

🤢 🤮

At least make it a 24 month program if you’re charging half a million….

Eh, they’ll pay it back.

 

[juniordentist]

Eh, they’ll pay it back.

That's not really the question to ask. Yes they will be able to pay it back. The more important question is "are you better off financially being a GP than going to this program", the answer is a resounding yes

What will your existing student loan balance be when you start the program?

If a program is so astronomically expensive that one might consider becoming a drug mule to help offset costs, it’s not a good sign…

I'm going to prove you guys wrong by applying as a 52 y/o and liquidate all my retirement accts, investments, and sell my unicorn (once in a lifetime find) home. As a side gig, I'm going to take Big Time Hoosier up on that. I hear that gig has great travel "perks." No tuition loans is too much to be known and worshipped as "Orthodontist" by my dental peers.

Just pray none of the balloons full of cocaine rupture in your stomach. That’s a quick way to cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, for far too many becoming an orthodontist is apparently worth the risk.

Good to know. I guess it is not a good idea to transport the stash near Pablo EskoBear country.



PS: Sorry for the lame posts...all of my pts are showing up late. I'm having a hard time keeping myself entertained.

In a school setting, maybe….. but in the real world, it’s the other way around. We, orthodontists, have to worship general dentists and pedodontists because we need their referrals. The only benefit of being an ortho is you don’t have to do general dentistry.

Gosh, it must be nice not having to do fillings and have the people come back angry with "Doc, my teeth didn't hurt until you touched it." Well there is always your yearly Christmas gifts...cough...bribes to look forward to.

The better question is, why is orthodontics so easy to start a fake residency for? We have CTOR, Georgia and God knows else coming up

Endo is just as competitive (if not more) and lucrative in terms of money and lifestyle, I dont think a new endo program has been created in the last 15 years

Aligner companies probably

I guess you have a point there. No one’s investing in gutta percha companies

Is this really the tuition?? Or is this only for international students?

I agree with you.
