Which schools tend to offer good/bad financial aid?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
hmmm,....how the heck are we supposed to answer this?

well let's see...huhvaad, they gave me a real generous package...but yale, they were kind of stingy(I think it is because of the environment), at Cornell, I got such a nice package, and at UCSF they said I have a nice package hehe :wink: :clap: <img border="0" alt="[Pity]" title="" src="graemlins/pity.gif" />
 
Stanford is renowned for their incredibly good financial aid. You can get a general idea of financial aid by looking at the average debt statistics on the US News site.
 
Members don't see this ad :)
duke gives out a lot of grants and their 3rd year is often paid for if you can get a research grant.

MCW gives out a lot of loans. i talked with a financial aid officer there and he said that it'll be all loans (at least for me) and i won't get a package until June!
 
Mayo gives everyone a minimum of a 50 percent grant (and full tuition is only $21,525 this year). For residents of Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida the remaining tuition is less than $6,000 per year...about $11,000 for non-residents. Several people each year (apart from the MD/PhD students that always do) receive a full tution merit scholarships as do several URM's.

Do they favor Floridian applicants at all?
 
I think there's some Mayo affiliate in Florida. Could be wrong though. --Trek
 
There are three 'Mayo Clinics'. The original in Rochester, Minnesota and two newer ones: Jacksonville opened in 1986 and Scottsdale in 1987.

The school is in Rochester, Minnesota where you do your first two years. The third/fourth year clerkships can be in a mix of the three locations.

Almost half the class is taken from Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida. However, the majority of these "in-state" students are from Minnesota (all but 4 (2 FL, 2 AZ) of 18 in-state students last year). I think the others don't like the weather in Rochester. The total class is only 42 and that includes 34 MD, 6 MD/PhD, and 2 MD/OMS.

Because the entering class is so small, Mayo accepts the smallest percentage of applicants of any school -- less than 3 percent acceptance rate.
 
i really wanted to go there because of the hospital and cost, unfortunately I didn't even get the phone interview.
