Does anyone have a sense for at what point a med student's parent's income/assets would be too great for them to qualify for need-based aid (including loans only available to "needy" students)? FAFSA calculates EFC ignoring parent information for med students, but most schools take it into account somehow--the way they calculate parental contribution is just more opaque. Anyone have a ballpark figure for where the threshold of "parents' contribution=everything" lies?
The best indication I have so far is that the Stanford financial aid presentation mentioned that their "Middle Income Assistance Program" generally applied to families with household incomes of $150,000-$200,000, and that many of those students would receive no aid from other schools. Does that sound right?
