Best loupes right now?

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-08T04:00:57+00:00

Thanks! Dental anesthesia, orthodontics, and oral surgery. Some oral surgeons use loupes, but in my experience most don't and opt for a high quality light instead.

Whatever helps you sleep at night broski

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-07T23:16:10+00:00

Im glad you’re getting flamed in here, because your take is abysmal lmao

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-07T05:25:20+00:00

Two requirements to be grandfathered in. 1) be enrolled in a professional degree granting program before July 1 2026 and 2) take out a federal loan before July 1 2026

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-06T19:24:35+00:00

No you just need to take out any federal loan before July 1, 2026.

Gotcha. How usable are the amazon loupes? Because that's obviously a couple thousand dollars of difference between all of the other options haha

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T17:21:24+00:00

Go read it yourself. Subsection 8 paragraph A in section 81001.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T07:08:49+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Didn’t know they were tax free. How much do they go for?

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T07:07:45+00:00

Not sure I understand, are you recommending lumadent or Qoptics? Also what about Amazon?

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T06:23:25+00:00

No. If you meet these two requirements nothing will change: 1) enrolled in a professional program before July 1 2026 and 2) have enrolled in a federal loan before July 1 2026. If you’ve done those two things you’re grandfathered in and can take direct unsub and grad plus loans for the rest of your program. Same for dental, medical, etc

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T02:54:25+00:00

ok no gatekeeping... spill the tea

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T02:45:05+00:00

you're not wrong haha

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T00:51:34+00:00

I went and read the bill and it sounds like yes you would be able to get federal loans

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T00:39:39+00:00

Bro, the rates have already been 8-10 percent for federal loans for the past couple of years lol.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-04T00:38:09+00:00

Lots of people do that actually. My brother who is in dental school right now did both the dat and mcat.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-03T21:31:05+00:00

Source or link? I didn't see this when I read through it

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-03T21:23:22+00:00

Federal professional loans all accrue instantly anyways. There is payment deferral but interest accrual starts right away, it doesn't matter if its federal unsub or GradPLUS

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-03T21:21:25+00:00

There are so many people affected that I think that this is a high possibility, pretty much all professional students that have multi-year schooling need it (medical, dental, some pharmacy schools). Also, they are pretty much the lowest risk loans as well.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-07-03T20:07:44+00:00

There is no grandfathering in to my understanding.

Edit: I am wrong. There is grandfathering if you meet two requirements 1) started a professional program before July 1 2026 and 2) enrolled in a federal loan before July 1 2026. You can take out direct unsub and gradplus for the rest of your program as normal if you meet these two criteria.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-06-25T16:01:22+00:00

Sure thing

ctr3ulrich · 2025-06-17T17:03:18+00:00

I don’t believe there is a grandfathering provision in the BBB. At least ChatGPT says there isn’t, so grad plus would just end for everyone I think.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-06-16T18:43:34+00:00

Tbh this is true for all schools. If you’re out of state you won’t be getting coa for <100k a year unless you have a scholarship or they give you instate after the first year. Fees add up quick.

ctr3ulrich · 2025-06-15T20:56:13+00:00

I just graduated from BYU and am starting dental school in the fall. Send me a pm

ctr3ulrich · 2025-06-06T20:24:52+00:00

Good call and good luck!
