How do middle class kids afford med school?

Join the military to have the US govt pay for your med school.

You can also have your medical school loans waived if you go and work in Salisbury for several years. (Poor underserved area.) All of the gyn/obstetricians in Salisbury are on this program. Otherwise there would be no one to deliver babies on the lower Eastern Shore.

You mean the poor redneck deplorable Eastern Shore magas have some sort of socialism. Ironic.

How low can you go? It's like Russian roulette where the more you can pay, the fewer bullets there are.

Jokes aside, I wonder if we'll start to see more med students going to places like these for the price.

We have a great business model of having to beg for money. It's the American way.

In my or DH’s family they went into the military for med school. DC has many choices for pre-med but choosing in-state and will pay 15,000 instead of 70,000+ dollars tuition per year for 4 years. They would prefer one of the private schools they were accepted to, but going into debt doesn’t make any sense.

You would be surprised by the number of sickly medical students who wouldn’t qualify for military service. Maybe it makes sense that poor family health inspired their interest in the field.
