In State Schools

Since there are fewer dental schools in the US to accomodate everyone applying to an in-state school, I have heard that some schools treat you like an in-state applicant if you live in the region. I am originally from Arizona, but Arizona SOD is private (i think) and charges the typical 30,000 dollars in tuition. Is there a school around me that accepts Arizona residents as in-state, thus saving myself money in tuition??

Thanks!

Contact your pre-dental advisor about this. I am sure I saw Arizona on a list of schools that have agreements with other state dental schools. A school to consider is the University of Nebraska. Most out of state matriculates qualify for a scholarship which grants them in state tuition. It's a good program and they state that the cost of instruments, tuition, and fees was estimated to be $59,000. That's for four years - not one. Put them on your list for sure.

I'm probably wrong, but I think Arizona may be a part of WICHE still. Anyway, that's information you'd be wise to find out from someone who knows, but, at least it gives you a lead.

Good point, Java. Arizona is still apart of WICHE, though I don't know which WICHE schools Arizona students go to as this seems to vary from state to state.
