For the sake of this discussion let's say USC is the only dental school I got into. I'm 27 and am ready to move forward to start my career in 4 years. USC is so outrageously expensive and I wonder if it's worth it. Let's say I'm borrowing $400,000. Sme other important criteria to consider before providing advice:
1) because I had been on medication within the last year, I was ineligable for the military scholarship, so let's just say that for now this opportunity is out. Maybe I could join as an officer after school.
2) I have an investment portfolio of $300,000. So I do have a solid backing right ow and I'm very fortunate. I think this changes the tone of how severely the debt from USC would affect me, though $400K for dental school is a bit outrageous..
Looking for advice from currently practicing dentists on whether or not it is wise for me to go ahead and take the leap of faith and go to USC.
Thanks!!!
