Does WVSOM teach its students how to raise the dead or something? $43,000 per year for just tuition is insane.

That's for out of state students. I think Michigan State charges similar amount. University of Colorado, I believe charges over $50,000 in tuition for out of state students.

Now days private universitys' undergrad charges over $30,000. Education is expensive.

If you don't want to pay that then, you should even bother to apply there.

Yeah, really! I think Michigan is even higher than that for out-of-staters. I didn't apply to either of them, my max tuition school that I applied to was around 35K.

Yeah, thanks for the great insightful advice. I'll be sure to add it to my book of wisdom. 🙄

Do people really pay that much attention to tuition when applying, or to GPA/MCAT?

I kinda just stumbled up on Michigan's tuition in the process and I believe it was close to 48K then I was like, "HELL NAAAH!"
 
Well... I am an out of stater and yeah the tuition is expensive. 😱 But I guess it's med school and I'll be able to pay it back in 20 years LOL

I haven't learned any resurrection technique yet in school...but hopefully I can raise some awesome board scores from the ashes!

600+ for the win!!!!

Ok, I'm punchy this evening... must be the lack of sleep. 🙁 Back to studying!
