Same poll for DO schools showing most with >300k.
Looks like MD students so far mostly 200-300k.

Sounds about right though as most DO schools are private which means more $$$
 
Cool polling idea. Can you make one about how many classes do people skip on average every week in M1 and M2?
 
So much for the MSAR's rosy picture.
 
That's still a lot of people with less that 50k debt. Are most military, parent-supported, or did they just get good scholarships?

Some DO schools will put you 500k in debt. How on earth on you supposed to pay that off? There's no justification for the increase in tuition.
 
all of you with <50k debt are pretty damn lucky.
 
I've come to realize that, even with 15k tuition, I'm still paying over 200k in the long run for loans....
 
poll makes sense.

tuitition debt is bimodal, most likely dictated by public vs private schools

Don't forget mommies and daddies and/or trust funds and/or HPSP-esque scholarships

HPSP holders don't come out ahead against their full tuition peers though due to the way the repayment is setup.
