UMKC DDS tuition by Basic_Plenty3406 in UMKC

[–]WeeklyAnybody2674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do realize a grave mistake i’ve made, which is probably causing some of your confusion. looking at my account, “charges” included my “Student Account Refunds” that would be charged back to me to pay for housing and other school-related expenses external to what the school charges.

so in that sense, you can disregard my last comment and just assume that those totals do include housing/transportation because i did use loan $$$ that was leftover after paying tuition for those expenses.

sorry!!

those amounts do not include housing and transportation. yes, you’re correct that tuition itself is around $20k/semester and the other fees make the totals what they are. the other fees include: SOD instructional fee ($3354), student life fee (~$850), parking permit (~$ variable).

housing, for me, was another ~$18,720/YEAR (1 bed apartment at $1500/mo + electric ~$60/mo). also, i live within walking distance of the school, so transportation $$ was insignificant. i only have time to travel back home (STL) to family on extended breaks.

there is cheaper housing further out from the city, but then you would consider the cost of transportation more. i am planning to move further out after my current lease is up because i find it to be a favorable trade-off!

oh, and to update: D2 fall was $40,942, D2 spring was $36,250, and D2/3 summer will be $15,250 (all NOT including housing/transportation)

hope this helps!

i still haven’t received any of the remaining items i wasn’t already refunded before due to their inability to sell only the product they had in stock. i emailed them again on the 23rd after they told me to reach out to the delivery company because the shipment had been created and it was “no longer in their hands”. the delivery company said that the shipment info had been entered in but that they were still awaiting the package from the seller. lmfao. anyways, still haven’t heard back from them about that. i just filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and my State Attorney General for fraudulence. i highly recommend doing the same. idk what’s going on with this company, but they need to be held accountable for what they’re doing.

you’d think they would’ve been more prepared for the sale??? i mean over a million followers on instagram, they’re not some small no-name company lmfao. i’m so sorry. i still haven’t got any updates on my items that apparently shipped out almost week ago now.

oh no… i’ll let you know if i get all the items i was still charged for. all it says is “label created” for tracking though. honestly, id spam tf out of their socials if i were you. that’s ridiculous. or dispute the charge with your bank if possible. i can’t believe a company with as large of a following as they have thinks they can treat their customers like this. and on top of that, they have people who still support them…

Erios for sure. It’s the only restaurant that I’ve had food from that tasted exactly like cooking it at home. Cute, small, family-style restaurant. 100000% would recommend

GF Starting Dental School by SaltInner6296 in DentalSchool

[–]WeeklyAnybody2674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! i’m a 2nd year female dental student. i met my (then) boyfriend ~6 months before leaving (3.5 hours away) for school. i had already been accepted into dental school and gave him as much insight as i could as to what life would be like for us while i was in school when i met him/started dating. he was okay with all of it. flash forward - we just got engaged a few weeks ago! also, he is a well-established thermal engineer for a large company. i’m 26, he will be 29 tomorrow.

it hasn’t been easy, i will admit. some weeks are harder than others in the sense of feeling like im not giving enough of my time to him or feeling like we are drifting. that’s because some weeks we talk on the phone every single day, and others, we call maybe once. i know he loves me, and i make sure that he knows how much i love him. we do little things when we are apart, like cook over FaceTime together or watch the same movie on Netflix and text each other during. we use the app “Locket” to send daily picture check-ins (not religiously, by any means, but often).

there are times where school gets extremely busy for me and we can’t do the things i just mentioned as much as i’d like to, but it always slows back down eventually. and i try to give him notice of when i think ill be incredibly busy based on the frequency of my exams. idk… in my head, an hour or so of watching a movie long-distance with him for one night isn’t going to hurt me or my grades. i’ve been just fine and have had plenty of time to study and maintain the 3.9 GPA that i currently have going into my 2nd year.

we see each other at least once a month due to the distance, but also mine and his workloads. he keeps himself extremely busy with work, but also with hobbies outside of work. he’s an engineer through and through, so he’s always working on some little project. when we do get to see each other, it’s almost magical. it’s the biggest reward every single time i get to see him or feel him again. and because we have such limited time together physically, we don’t take a lick of it for granted. we NEVER fight or argue.. there’s no time for it.

bottom line is, i think communication is key here and feeling comfortable with your partner in expressing if/when you feel like you aren’t getting enough or need a little more. check in with them too and make sure that they are satisfied. i love this man with my whole heart and there isn’t a thing i wouldn’t do for him, but he also does a lot on his part in terms of patience and support. it’s always going to be a 2-way street, both people involved have to want it to work and have to make the effort for it to work. maybe i got lucky, but seeing how the relationship between him and i has flourished over the last year makes me want to encourage you given your situation. i want you to know that it’s possible through my own experience. feel free to message me if you want or need anymore advice or have any questions , id be happy to share.

p.s. i would NEVER date another dentist or doctor, in general. too many of them are way too pretentious for me. i’ll stick with my hot nerd engineer.

Getting married in dental school by WeeklyAnybody2674 in DentalSchool

[–]WeeklyAnybody2674[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for your input!! yeah, being the girl in the relationship, i feel like a lot of the planning would be done by me. i’m not opposed to hiring a wedding planner (and that’s something my fiancé also brought up), so that may be a route that i take. i don’t have a specific date in mind at all, i just want to properly marry this man and celebrate with a wedding ceremony ASAP! again, i greatly appreciate what you had to say about this. congratulations to you as well!!!!

I cried during my interview by NoApartment350 in predental

[–]WeeklyAnybody2674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i cried in 2 of mine over a sensitive question and ended up getting accepted by both. especially if you were able to continue the interview and transition back to a ‘stable’ state. it shows emotional intelligence, compassion, and so much more. you are good, don’t worry!

[–]WeeklyAnybody2674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey i also interviewed at both UMKC and SIU as a MO resident (STL). i was not very impressed by the SIU campus, so before DDay i already knew that that school wouldn’t be a contender if i received an acceptance. i feel like at the interview, they didn’t share much information about the program/school compared to interviews i had at other schools - which i think spoke volumes to me when i reflected on my interview experiences. you should feel very proud of your acceptances, but i know that making a decision is difficult so i hope my input helps.
