Same, yet US and state school ringing in at 4.2k. Thank god for free state money!the wonders of going to a Canadian institution, where undergrad is 5.5k/year
I'll actually be + $1,500 thanks to a stipend attached to my scholarship, but when you weigh that against the cost of alcohol over 4 years and figure my drinking bills doubled after every orgo test, I figure I'll be around - $5k
Probably Ivy or one of those private colleges with 30k per year tuition.the guy/gal (if they are for real) that took out a 120k loan for undergrad... what the f happened?
Pretty nice bump you did there, buddy.wow. a lot of people with nothing. grats
Pretty nice bump but I have to put this in...so many damn rich people on here. I didn't realize mommy and daddy footed the bill for so many people to go to college. Except for the person with the GI bill, I can respect that.
Thank you old, rich alumni for giving me 55K a year . Much appreciated.
EN, Ivys give the best aid out of anyone. Random private colleges, not so much.
I know, right? I know not everyone's parents is financially capable enough to have a college fund for their kid(s). But I'm lucky to have one, wouldn't you want your children to enjoy college and not have to work/take out loans if you had the means?

Financial aid, scholarships, and yes - occasionally parent's are capable of paying.
I don't agree that everyone whose parents paid for college is rich though. I have several friends whose parents paid for their college by careful planning and making it a priority - their family sacrificed other things because they valued education. Secondly, I don't agree with the demonization of wealth in that original post.
I seriously don't understand how so many people have 0 debt though. Its almost ridiculously skewed in this poll...3 times as many people with 0 as up to 20K and almost no one above 60K. The pre-med population is skewed some how, either scholarship wise, lots of financial aid or lots of parents money (or a combo). I can't say that I believe that this is the norm though, most people are coming out of college with at least SOMETHING debt-wise. I also think its very unusual that there aren't more shocked responses to this thread, which also speaks to how many people will have no debt at all. I am personally very surprised by this thread, although I think it gives a good idea as to the population of people I'll see in medical school...that is, med school will be their ONLY source of debt. Plus, I think it also somewhat explains people's willingness to drop so much in loans for med school...what's 200K in loans when you don't already have 100K from undergrad?
$0 undergrad debt, which is good because my med school is one of the most expensive and I'm gonna be 320-350k in the hole
