Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($52,384), estimated debt ($27,240), early-career salary ($37,325), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that payback could take longer than many families expect. Data confidence is medium, so this should support comparison rather than act as a guarantee.
