Just out of curiosity...

What if you got accepted to your dream school after you started classes somewhere else? Could you quit the other school? I guess you would have to pay tuition at both schools for the first term... Is there anything else besides $$$ that would prohibit one from switching?

I was under the impression that once you start school at one place you can't just drop it for another school. I think you can check the AAMC website for their rules and guidelines.

you can't. once classes start schools are not meant to offer you a place and you are not allowed to switch.

From the AAMC:

After an applicant has enrolled in a U.S. school of medicine or begun a brief orientation program contiguous to enrollment, no further acceptances should be offered to that individual. Once enrolled in a school, students have an obligation to withdraw their applications promptly from all other schools. Enrollment is defined as being officially registered as a member of the first-year entering class at a school.
