[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do middle class kids afford med school?

My daughter is a HS Senior and wants to be a doctor. We have about $180k in 529..This should cover her undergrad.

How the hell is she going to afford med school? We are behind on retirement saving and starting to focus more on that now. So we can't even co-sign loans for her when she gets there.

$180K.  Oh, more than enough.  You first go to public state college for undergrad. Maybe even do one or two year of community college to knock out all the prerequisite courses and then shift to state school. Maybe she even lives at home for the first 2 years to save on room and board. So in [b]60K or less [/b]she does her undergrad.     GPA is completely important, have a plan (chatGPT and other AI this), shadow drs, do the volunteer work necessary, work in clinic/emergency EMT/VA hospital etc,  study for MCAT and do organic chemistry from multiple sources (online course, tutors, you tube etc) so that you do not flunk out of the course that kills med school dreams.

Once she gets admitted, the funding and the loans will come her way.
