Some schools will give free rides to academically strong
applicants who have unusual life experience, (which includes life experience in a URM community). That free ride might, or might not, include living expenses.
Working part-time while in medical school is very difficult. I knew a guy who worked one or two afternoons per week in a physician's office but that's barely $100/week these days.
I think it would be very unusal to find tuition at $7,500/yr.
I have known a couple of professional athletes who paid for med school from their earnings... does this guy have any talent in that regard?
Without personal or family wealth, the williness and ability to join the military, or the ability to borrow money, one has a very hard time affording medical education in the US.
Anyone have ideas for noncon?
