Just thought I would open up some new discussion.
Being from a middle class family, I didn't really have to worry about the costs of applying and paying to go to interviews. My other half, who comes from a very low SES, mentioned to me that his grad school programs, a PhD program, do not require a very high application fee and do not even have you come in for an interview. They also give you, if you do very well on the GRE/LSAT, full tuition and a teaching stipend.
As many of you know, applying to medical school was very expensive, especially if you had to travel to very many schools like I did. There would have been no way that we could have afforded to do this for him.
My question is, is this profession selective, either with knowing or without knowing, just on the basis of fees and costs to people of higher SES?
