Is $229,132 in student debt worth it?
This is the question students must answer when they contemplate attending West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine-- an institution where the average indebtedness tops $200k.
Student debt for medical school is quite high. In 2010, the average student debt for medical school (public and private loans) was $145,020, according to U.S. News & World Report. The figure will likely grow after a July 1 change, when med school students will no longer have their federal loans subsidized and will accrue more interest on their debt.
The bright side? Medicine is a career with a fairly high income. Reuters reports that in 2010, primary care physicians located in the eastern U.S. held a median income level of $194,000.
Below is a list of the 10 medical schools where students have the highest average student debt, according to U.S. News. Is med school worth it? Weigh in below.

$200k doesn't seem that bad for 4 years of med school tuition and living costs.

The cost of living in DC is astronomical, I'm suprised that GW and Georgetown aren't higher on the list..

DO was heavily represented considering the ratio of md to do schools

If all pre-meds worked together to NOT apply for one year with the reasoning that tuition is to high, tuition would drop by 1/2 the next year (exaggeration, but you get it).
