I really want to go to an SMP program, but at what cost? If I go to georgetown's I will have to spend a year and 25,000+ dollars. Also, If I only want to spend one year there before med school I will have to apply to med school in June before I have even taken one class in an SMP program. How can I possibly expect to get in to medical school without having taken any SMP classes? Does this mean that I have to waste another year before getting into a med school?
On the other hand I could enroll into a regular master's program in physiology or whatever at a local state school and spend only 2000 dollars a semester. In this case I would still apply to a medical school in June before I have taken any masters classes so that I would only spend one year in the state schools masters program before going on to med school. This is definitely the best economic approach. However, I know that the education I would receive at georgetown for example would far exceed that at the state school. Therefore, I must decide the overall cost of the program in dollars, years spent, and quality of education. Please, please, please offer me some words of wisdom. I need them
