saskdent009 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Did anyone else notice that they introduced a tuition differential for OOP students for this upcoming year? I feel like that recently just showed up. IP Pay 53K OOP Pay 70K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at 70k, you may as well go to Australia and pay a bit more to live in an nice place and travel than be in Saskatchewan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s definitely true, it just a bit iffy for me personally seeing a not top tier Canadian school differentiating Canadian students and charging OOP as high as 70k.

If you can make more money, then why not? Schools dont care. Their argument will be that OOP less likely to stay, so charge them more for the govt funding indirectly blah blah.

Nice weather, yes, but you’re shutting down your chances of working in the USA if you choose to. I would never pick Australia over Sask even if it was cheaper.

Vast majority of Canadians in medicine/dentistry...ultimately want to work in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskdent009 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Saskatchewan has typically been associated with having a strong bias towards their own residents, so it doesn't surprise me. Just judging by the scholarships, its quite easy to notice. Most of the scholarships and bursaries are oriented towards long term residents with agricultural backgrounds or from rural locations. On another note, since there are 34 seats, 22 of which are for SK residents and 6 for Aboriginal, does that leave only 6 for OOP? Do they typically fill the unfilled Aboriginal seats with OOP or IP applicants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current 1st and 2nd year class doesn't have all their aboriginal seats filled I'm pretty sure. Edit: Class of 2022 is 34 people, has 12 OOP. Class of 2021 is 28 people, has 8 OOP. Also "higher ranking dental schools" doesn't matter that much, you all write the same boards. Study hard, work hard and it'll pay off. But yes, the usual deterrence is because people don't like SK.

They don't indicate how many interviews they do either or how many people get accepted in each category. Anybody who has received an interview invite here want to get together to prep for the MMI?
