cost of attendance

I applied for medical school this past cycle with relatively unimpressive stats (3.49 cGPA, 3.47 sGPA, 511 MCAT) and got three interviews, which turned into spots on two waitlists. One of the schools sent out a series of emails to those of us on the waitlist advertising an Early Assurance...
