it seems like the cost of dental school is completely out of control. it's actually way more expensive than med school now.

looking at your alma mater tuition and school fees for the medical school are ~$60,000 (https://www.med.upenn.edu/admissions/tuition-fees.html) versus $88,345 at the denTTTal school (https://www.dental.upenn.edu/academic_programs_admissions/dmd_program/tuition_fees)

wtf is up with this man? why are dental schools able to charge MOAR $$$ for a less desirable dental degree that makes le$$ money over the long term for grads than an MD?

A lot of dental students are RICH AS FUCK with parents who are dentists. They want their kids to take over the practice so they'll pay anything. The rest are AZNS with AZN parents who want their kids to be a Doctor or Dentist no matter the cost of education

Pretty CR. The administrators have argued that Med Schools have more federal funding for training so their tuition is lower. They also argue that running a dental clinic with all the equipment, dental chairs, etc is more expensive but I doubt it. The funny part is that most of these dental schools are millions in the red. Just look up University of washington dental school debt.

the post above is not "pretty CR" it makes no sense. there are tons of rich kids at med school whose parents are doctors/want them to join practice or take over.

but the rest of your post is interesting and informative, so thank you.

follow up Q can you go into more detail about "running a dental clinic"? what is that exactly and how is it different from med schools giving their students clinical experience at the university hospital? also even if they're giving patients "low cost" dental care to train students why do they have to run it at a loss? why not run it at very modest profit or break even level so dental students don't have to underwrite it out of their tuition?
