Hey gang,
I was just obsessing over dental school as most of us predents. According to my calculations, UNLV is going to be cheaper than UCLA for CA residents starting next year. I wanted to share this info and get some feedback. Maybe I am missing something.
All numbers EXCLUDE cost-of-living. I beleive external costs are less at UNLV too, but thats another story.
UCLA:
UCLA's tuition and fees are going to increase 40%. This is because our good friend and governor Arnold has repealed the state car tax. To make up for the lost revenue, he is increasing costs for state professional programs.
These figures are directly from the UCLA website, which can be found at http://uclasod.dent.ucla.edu/Admissions/Financial.html
1 Yr: $ 32,352
2nd Sum: $ 1,705
2 Yr: $ 22,445
3rd Sum: $ 1,705
3rd Yr: $ 17,551
4th Sum: $ 1,705
4th Yr: $ 18,076
For a grand total of: $ 95,539
Now add 40% and your looking at: $133,754
UNLV:
In Nevada, one can establish state residency after the 1st year. So I will reflect this in my calculations here.
These numbers are directly from the UNLV website found at: http://www.unlv.edu/dentalschool/admissions_tuition.html
1 Yr: $ 49,200 (out of state)
2 Yr: $ 29,000
3 Yr: $ 29,000
4 Yr: $ 19,430
The forth year at UNLV is only 2 semesters instead of 3. I have calculated the tuition at 67% of the full year tuition.
Total: $126,630
In the past the $29,000 tuition has covered everything including instruments, books, and laptop. However, I have heard that UNLV will charge 2,500 for the laptop starting this year.
Grand Total for UNLV: $ 129,139
Grand Total for UCLA: $133,754
I am talking strictly numbers here, I am NOT considering other intangibles like reputation, board scores, etc.
Am I missing something?
