Why this score?

High Risk is a Degreeli Value Score v1 directional read based on modeled cost ($46,008), estimated debt ($28,525), early-career salary ($27,254), payback, completion, and review signals. The strongest signal is that cost looks efficient relative to expected early-career pay. The main caution is that debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate. 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

Debt risk rises quickly if borrowing approaches the modeled estimate.

Payback could take longer than many families expect.

Completion or outcome confidence needs more scrutiny.
