Gosh...an average dept of 240k for the UC's even?
What is the cheapest med school?

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Your state school. The cheapest state schools are TX schools. The cheapest private school I can think of is Lecom ( 27k a year).


240k for UC's seems high. But then again whats the average rent for an apartment around one of the UC medical schools?

Texas and the ivies. The ivies have financial aid packages up the wazoo (due to their massive endowments). Your average debt coming out of there will probably be less than your state school.

In NC, ECU Brody tuition for IS is 10,000 a year, seems pretty cheap to me! and UNC is 13,000 a year for IS. Of course that's not including living expenses, with that included ECU is 27,000 a year.

 

[Siggy]

Uniformed Services University is the cheapest, from my understanding...

Lowest average debt is UHawaii, East Carolina, and Stanford (which does 50:50 grants:loans, which is pretty unheard of at most places).

(Avg debt among those who incurred medical school debt)

Although I would love to go and graduate from UCSF with "only" 100k in debt 😛.

Pretty sure those benefits are extended almost exclusively to undergraduates.

it really depends on your (and your parents') financial status. unlike most places, the Ivies do give lots of need based aid to their medical students. the only people who don't do well on this deal are the ones whose parents have $$$ but for whatever reason aren't contributing to their childrens' expenses. of whom i am sure there are a few.... but in general people tend to do very well at these schools.

I think Pritzker gives huge grants to nearly everyone. It was one of the reasons the school administration gave for reducing the size of the class two years ago; they wanted to bring the hammer down on student debt. I also remember reading that everyone at Mayo gets at least 50% tuition in grants. Vanderbilt is also very generous. The USNews list is of course confounded by the varying economic status of students at particular schools...

I chuckled at "massive endowment."

Oh Texas... How your dirt cheap tuition makes me swoon. With tuition around 10,000 a year, I paid more in freaking undergrad at a public Texas university! I would pick Tx over any other OOS school... Maybe even Yale... Maybe... 😉 Not that my stats will get me into Yale... Just saying... The tuition is soooooo CHEAP!

My endowment is more massive than your endowment.

Here at UTMB it's actually closer to 15k. Still, not that bad.

Mine this year is 14700, but it'll probably go up each year.

This site lists cost of attending all med schools. It looks like Mayo is really cheap, if you can get in.

but luckily, no one has gotten into Brody from OOS in about 30 years. never thought i'd be glad to be a NC resident.
