[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Target NYU and lock in on getting admitted. It’s tuition free. [/quote]

My nephew attended this program. He got in because he attended an Ivy League university and his parents sent him to boarding school before that.

It’s frankly flippant for you or other folks to write NYU or Kaiser Med School when they are harder to get into than Harvard College.

I come from a large family. Another cousin went back to the Old country to attend his mom’s medical school right after high school and then came back and is in no debt. It may be cheaper and faster but boy was it tough to be in another country and in a difficult program. The other cousin that accompanied him did not make it and embarrassed about not being a doctor and not having an American degree.

Then another set of cousins went to the Carribbean. One cousin who is 38 and has been practicing Medina for a while told me he still has $400k of loans to pay off. His sister do not clear the USMLEs when she got back and is working at a small bank and has $600k in loans to pay off.

In my family medicine has been the ticket to the upper middle class and upper class but not everybody makes it. This is why I think it’s better to pursue other healthcare fields such as nursing.
