Jefferson vs. Hawaii (John A. Burns)

[Jamerson]

To any OOSers at JABSOM...what is the tuition situation? Any grants? Any chance of claiming HI residency after one year?

Also for OOSers - did you have to establish some sort of link or connection to Hawaii in the application process? Any of you speak Japanese or something useful like that?

thanks...

Tuition is rising annually, and by 2010 it'll be high 40s close to 50k annually. The problem with claiming residency in HI is that the rules have changed: you need to be out of school a year for work or something. Why they're making it harder for OOSers, I don't know. Blame the nonsense that is Hawaii politics.

As far as establishing a link or connection, I used the fact that I grew up on a South Pacific island, and was familiar with the need for docs throughout the Pacific and knew Hawaii catered to that population.
