Why this score?

High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($82,428), estimated debt ($51,105), early-career salary ($61,973), 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.

Completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny.

Graduate review signal is limited or modeled.
