Why this score?
High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($93,620), estimated debt ($48,682), early-career salary ($53,612), 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.
Strengths
Cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay.
Risks
Payback could take longer than many families expect.
