I got hscp from navy.

I thought those scholarships paid for all of your costs.

 

[Incis0r]

Thanks man! Keep workin hard and I bet you will!

Wanna put in a good word for me?

I'll give you free dental care for life! After all, you can't do dentistry on your own teeth.

Nope. I only get about 55k a year

Anyway, we can talk all we want; but truthfully I don't think I really have a line to draw: I will attend the cheapest school I get into, however I would still attend a school that was 400k if that was the one I got into.

With the scholarship i got my school is only like~ 21k a year for tuition, fees and school expenses. At the end of it all I should be about 85k in the hole. Plus 100k living expenses? so like 185k or so total.

100k for living expenses over 4 years?? I'm sure you can do lower

To be fair, i think what he/she meant to say was that.. given you can't nab an acceptance in your state school, on average, you're probably looking at a more expensive endeavor (~70-80k/year).
Where would one draw the line if you had to go to a private or out of state school?

All of this is moot of course if someone's passionate about Dentistry. In that case, there is no line.

Depends on where you go to school. In NYC and San Fran, you are looking at a minimum of $1500/month for rent so that is $72,000 right there. $200/month for food $9600,. Then factor in cell phone, utilities, insurance, etc.....

Yeah probably. I was just giving a generous number.

Well yeah I would expect big cities like NYC to be expensive. But in Dallas it's cheaper

 

[zriceman]

My bad, all the instruments and what not come to $18K over four years, so I lied. So $211,600.

dont forget the 4 years of accumulating interest
