Welcome to the big apple. It would be fun to live there if you didn't have to sell the clothes on your back to pay for it. Can't really go out in public or see the sights if you have no clothes e.e

Does it really matter at this point? I would think that it would only matter after December 1st, when you are considering the cost of each school you are accepted to. If NYU was the only school that you got into, would it really matter if it was 80K or 90K a year?
Just remember that when you graduate in NY you have to do GPR in New York. NYU probably charges for that also lol but you will rpobably get into a GPR somewhere else also. In the end though you will pay your loans off. It may take a couple more years but either way you will be a dentist. NYU has academic scholarships too.
Your first 2 sentences are very inaccurate.
If you want to PRACTICE anywhere in the state of New York, you HAVE to do one year of GPR or AEGD, doesn't matter where you went to dental school. NYU does NOT have a GPR program, it has an AEGD program, it pays on par with most PGY-1 AEGD programs.
NYU offers around 30-50 scholarships varying in duration and amount, and can award a few more scholarships after the first year depending on D1 performance.
Thats what i meant lol. I didnt know that NYU doesnt offer a GRP. On the interview they said that they offered all residency programs. I figured GPR was included.
AEGD and GPR are very similar programs, but AEGD (Advanced Education in General Dentistry) is offered by schools while GPR (General Practice Residency) is offered by hospitals. This program, as with many other of the sort, does not charge you--It pays you.
As for the tuition and fees at NYU, they are in the 80-90K range. The max loans we are allowed to take is 93K, but you can manage to get by on the lower end. School costs 63K and my rent (for my own room in a 3br apartment, 5 minute walk from school) costs 1280/month. You can do the math from there based on what you think you'd need to eat and whatever else. If you're ok with a bit more of a commute, you can get a place for 600... it's just a trade off for convenience. For what it's worth, my place has hardwood flooring, crown molding, granite counter tops, marble bathrooms, all stainless steel appliances and a doorman... and my room is pretty big (14' by 11') - not a shabby place for what I pay.

... plus you get to live in New York City. If you were working a regular job, going to undergrad at NYU (or attending the highly regarded Med school, law school, Stern business, Film school, etc at NYU), or even working at the local radioshack, you can get by. The millions of people who live here do just fine. I don't want to practice in New York and city living isn't for everyone -- but I'm enjoying it and NYU is a great school to boot!
Living in New York City has been ridiculously expensive for me, but it's also been the experience of a lifetime and if I could do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate to make the same decision.
